So I am looking to hull design projects for next winter. Anyone see anything good on profile morskii? Need to order PDF now. Right now I am considering the Chinese light cruiser Ning Hai that could also be practically built as a yubari. Anyways, any other thoughts?
been trying to find an akitsumaru myself as i got a kayaba auto gyro to put on it's deck but.... can't find any hull forms and do not feel like making up the below the waterline sections.
I have some fine drawings of various Ships of the Line. With Constitution expected to hit the water next year, you know the only appropriate response is HMS Victory, and they make a lovely Anatomy of the Ship...
Nigh Hai and Yubari are both pretty small, Ning especially. I just ordered Zara, Nachi, and Fuyuzuki. I also looked at the Spanish cruiser, I think its Libertidad (based on the British 'E' class). Very interesting ships. Also the 'C' class of british cruisers. The last couple batches had long and active careers with a lot of different fits from gun cruisers to AA cruisers and several variations in between. Java or De Ruyter for some Dutch action. Both very pretty ships, especially De Ruyter. KRASNYJ KAWKAZ is so ugly its pretty but single gun turrets.
Yes I plan to do it I have the Pola plans just have not been doing much in CAD as of late, been building my new Bismarck, and designing some electronic circuits
that takes care of that. I will put the Royal Oak on the short list for next year. May make up the Tone solid model just for fun/as a simple followon as that ship has always caught my eye for some insane reason
Zara is much better looking. Pola has a larger (clunky) super and a unique hull without the sculptured rail midships . Easier to cut down with the beltsander so that you get less target area, (not too Kosher)
Greg I have the Revenge class rib lines cad done just never made the hull. I CNC'd a few wood frame kits for Lee and I put together 2 of them but never finished and sold them Rob Stalnaker. For Zara I don't have plans for that would need a digital copy
I still want the rules re-written to make USS Georgia, Nebraska, Virginia legal.... They wouldn't be very effective combat ships, but those turrets.... oh, and that dazzle paint!!
