Nothing screenshot-worthy - however, a lot of vital work is being done, particularly in the area of merchant ship design.

Thanks - that sounds like a good idea. I would like to try modeling additional areas like crews' quarters & torpedo rooms but it's best to keep the interior work to a minimum for now.

I can post pictures of "Morgenrot", a 1933 movie filmed in a WWI Uboot, kindo a good early Das Boot.

then you'll see the inside.

Do you know how to convert the Type II interior so that it works in SH4?

That's great news - someone else has don all that hard work for me.:rotfl:

Some WIP pix of an "M" class British destroyer next to a small civilian cargo ship. Note how the cargo ship has a less streamlined hull form and a deeper draft.

I want to add more details to the merchant models like real crews' quarters, 3d cargo holds, boilers, &c. It's all a matter of how much detail the game can handle.

Nice progress. Maybe we can get away with using the Type IX interior for it, since it's so much larger than the other boats.

Morgenrot :





I had Mikhayl's go ahead to use his Typ II for the IJN campaign, so I hope he'll donate it to the WWI mod too, with due credits of course.

I can post other pictures from Morgenrot tonight, as it was filmed inside a german WWI Uboot, I think it's a must have.

@SH427 : send it over !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_D-3_%28SS-19%29



USS L-1 and L-3 are tied up alongside Bushnell




USS L-2 (SS-41) at Bantry Bay





The first L-class boats arrived at Berehaven, Ireland in late January 1918. Under the tutelage of the Royal Navy, they were soon conducting anti-submarine patrols south and east of Bantry Bay and served in that capacity until the end of the war in November. Here, USS L-1 and L-3 are tied up alongside Bushnell.

SH427 U-Cruiser



I changed a bit the guns decks so as to look more like the RL picture here above.



moved the tower aft : the gap between the fore gun platform and the tower is larger to the front of it than to the back : you had it backwards SH427


doing the cutting
