Your SPY-1 arrays are still mismatched between top and side view.
Are you sure this ship would field SM-3, SM-2 MR, SM-2 ER and ESSM all in the VLS? I would think this ship would focus on self defence.
EDIT: you also have no guidance at all for the standard missiles, without any proper directors.
By surprising, I meant how expected it is. Me drawing a soviet ship or a new guy drawing something really high quality would get higher marks then Gollevainen drawing a soviet ship in that category because "it is not unexpected of him to draw an soviet ship", as an silly example. Awesomeness might b...
I have an proposal that might interest people, but it takes some work (from somebody, possibly some of it from me) so before any work is started on this, I think some feedback is in order. I was pondering: could we give some challenge-like incentive to the real design and never build sections of shi...
thing is there are hundreds of thousands of ships out there. It's what people are interested in drawing and that's down to personal choice. My drawing skills are very limited but in my head I have a whole list of ships and ship types I'd live to see drawn. And sometime I get lucky and someone with ...
My personal experience is that while challenges might take some time from my never build/ real design works, they also allow me to make some work in the first place. The hard deadlines of the challenges let me create relatively fast designs that are relatively unique, or let me play with a scale I w...
You made an typo in the title but this is awesome! Only not certain I like the blue line for the waterline vs the normal non-extending black line that is tradition in shipbucket..... but I love it otherwise! Awesome ship and awesome drawing.
Most of these pictures have been lost because different image hosts have disappeared over the years. Photobucket reorganised, imageshack went down, dropbox removed their public folders.... If you want to find these images, you'd best look for them on the shipbucket main site or wiki, if they are not...
I would like to remind everyone of erik_t's design of an nonconventional hull challenge for the next shipbucket challenge
Also, my common hull design challenge, where I think some interest was shown back then
In the 1860's, the Royal Netherlands Navy had a problem. Recent events had proven that while there was still a role for unarmoured ships, to be a player on the world stage it was a requirement to be able to stand up to armoured ships. The Dutch, with their large merchant fleet and overseas territori...
Very nice work, I would only say, look a bit at the consistency of the shading under overhangs. For example under the pilothouse you have one kind of shading, in the cutouts for the boats you seem to have the proper shading in shipbucket style, while the other small overhangs forward seem to have ju...
