Karle94: you're taking liberties with the truth! Of course you
DID claim it was the Northampton! Why even deny that? First of all you claim it on the very template which states as follows: "USA: Northampton Class USS Northampton CA-26 (1930) and here's your direct quote to TristanAlting:
Here's a couple of us cruisers you can look at, namely the Northampton CA and Pensacola class CL
Now, obviously the latter member is not too familiar with proper US designs, so giving him this false one, and notstating it in a proper way, I think, at least, is dishonest. - and, while your drawing (as all your drawings!) do possess certain artistic value, it doesn't appropriately represent a
REAL US design of the period; not the way Brock's and mine does, with all due respect! Your bridge, for instance, is clumsily executed, and would benefit from further research and work. Your hull also have some oddities, that, if viewed in a 3-D-scope would've casted a curious view on the shape of that hull; especially with regards to the aft floatplane area.
Your Pensacola is passable, although it lacks in detail and omission of certain features. (But nothing that cannot be added!)
Besides, do you know what particular feature I was referring to to make your "Northampton" into even a superficially passable such?You never answered that one!
(I'm going to this length, since I think we ought to, being something of senior members with certain artistic and experiential advantage, to provide our newcomers, especially those that may not have the deep fount of knowledge that I know you possess, and that I believe, in all modesty I do too, the very best of help if they're struggling! - Itshould not be construed as any form of criticism of your abilities or taken as a personal attack!)
