Does anyone have artwork for the Mauretania, the Nieuw Amsterdam and the Ile de France in wartime gray?

I've noticed a couple of mentions to the service of these [s]two[/s] three liners in the Pacific and it seems that [s]both[/s] all three were active early war and then again late war.

Edit: Nieuw Amsterdam shows up more than the other two!

I have the Ile de France in is peace time colors if that helps. I think it came from Zulu.

Found it. Came from Sulu Sea. Unfortunately I have neither the tools nor the talent to convert it to wartime gray.

I feel ya on that one. I just don't have the inclination to learn either. [;)]

Niew Amsterdam

Nice picture, thanks.

For those that are interested in the source of my interest, it is:

Have Aquitania in war colors. The deck lines and aft 25% are different for Mauretaina, but not hard to do. Can do if you want.

If SuluSea has an Ile de France, I can do a paint job on it. Prefer ship art on blank background, but can handle side/shil art panels, if necessary.

Shoot me a pm if you are still looking. John

That's a nice looking ship!

Oh pooh. I did the 1906 ship, but Don was looking for the Mauretania II from 1938. Oh well, maybe someone can use it.

Nice job John [;)]

Thank you kindly. Here's the one that Don wanted; Mauretania II from 1938.

Yes, I know the stacks are supposed to be grey, buy one of my little idiosyncracies is to paint stacks in house colors. Kind of a nod to the great lines of the day. Hope ya'll don't mind too much.

John, would it be a bother to add the shil?

No bother at all. Here's a zip of lots of stuff, including ship and shil of both Mauretanias.

Ciao. John

Thank you sir!

John, you are a true gentleman. And a very good artist!

He's in an elite group of three (my ego?) [:D]

Quick question, how did you all arrive at the passenger values for these and other liners. I know they packed the soldiers in like sardines but did you all find some numbers or just extrapolate something?

I always prefer basic gray. For my old eyes, camouflage works too well on these small icons. Details get obscured.
