Can one of our talented artists draw this up for inclusion in my mod.

Thanks

Not sure about "talented", given that it's an adaptation of the stock Duguay-Trouin...still, it should do you until something better comes along:

Thank you sir, it will do fine!

Here's my take on Pluton, which I've derived from the drawing and photo on the navypedia site, and the photo in Jane for 1943-44. I am wondering whether there's also some footage of this ship at this great link posted by Skyland in his thread on the French and Thai addition mod.



<edit> Yes! I definitely think there's some excellent footage of Pluton in the dailymotion link at 05:37 into the film.

I'd been puzzled by this vessel when I first looked at the film, and couldn't find it in Jane at first. In fact there is a photograph in the edition of Jane I mentioned, but it's in the war loss section. She is given her alternate name there: La Tour D'Auvergne

To be savoured... </edit>

Thanks much LY.

For some reason, perhaps not enough coffee yet, it won't d/l, only open a box to tease me with your drawings.

Sorry to hear that. I did this pretty late at night, so maybe I got something wrong with the format in the rush. I simply followed my usual practice of adding a .jpg suffix to the original bitmap so that it would upload.

Here's a zipfile with the two required images in bitmap format. I took the opportunity to tweak the images slightly - think this slightly improves the rake on the funnels.

Worked like a champ, thanks again!!
