Greetings!
Here is HMS Colossus as she commissioned in 1911:

Please note I've intentionally omitted the forward boat davits in order to illustrate the arrangement of the secondary 4" gun battery.
Comments are welcome.
Cheers!

I personally think the colour you used for the hull shading is a bit dark, and I am not certain you shaped the shading above the skeg right..... nice work otherwise! |

Here is HMS Hercules as she appeared in 1912 with heightened forward funnel and the boat davits both ships carried at the time: ![[ img ]](https://www.dropbox.com/s/7m2hc3bzygvif49/BB%20Hercules%201912.png?dl=1) Comments are welcome. Cheers! StealthJester |

Nice work. I do share Ace's comment though that the anti-fouling paint might be a little too garish! |

Greetings! While I'm over working on the War of the Americas Reboot, I thought I'd post a question... First off, thank you all for the comments and suggestions - they have been, and continue to be, very helpful. To that end, a couple of you have mentioned that the colors for the hull of both the Colossus class and HMS Neptune images is too dark. Could anyone point me to a more accurate color scheme? Color photos of these ships are non-existent so any help would be welcome. My goal is to make these images as accurate as possible. Thanks again! StealthJester |

they are talking about the shading color is to dark. there is many ways to do it, for example here is one with a very soft shading: http://shipbucket.com/drawings/1495/file remember you are shading for the hull form. |

Sorry for the duplication! I should have figured that Dropbox would update any links when overwritten with updated files. Live and learn! Cheers! StealthJester |
