Do you have her working for SHIII yet?

This is the 2nd time a ship I have been working on quietly has been also done by some1 else. At this rate I may as well hang up the towel !

One should never assume that he/she is the only person working on some particular ship. There is always a chance that somebody is doing the same kind of model as well. And I think there is nothing bad in such an ovelap. To everyone's benefit eventually.

Here is what I did on Hood quite a while ago but never finished due to lack of time. The only thing I can say guys: "Take care of the damage model". Without appropriate damage models these nice ships will be mostly an eye candy because it will be difficult to reproduce historical battles/events.

Here is another model of mine. It's a german landing craft, which was operating in areas like the Black Sea or the Mediterranean. There were mainly used to support landing operations, but also to attack Soviet oil transports.

I plan to versions:

2x 20mm single barrel, 1x 20mm quad barrel, 2x 88mm main guns

2x 20mm single barrel, 1x 37mm single barrel, 2x 105mm main guns

yes but without textures.

This is why Iambecomelife and I usually discuss the ships we are working on. We are kitbashing merchants, which is quite different than what you guys are doing, but it would not be good if we were all working on the same ones in some cases (whale factories, for example).

The three of you should work out which ships you are going to work on so that a wider range of ships will be completed.

Very nice. Reminds me of the German flak barges from IL2. Is that what you call an "f-lighter"?

[Warhunter]

In german it's: "Marine Artillerie Leichter". Perhaps you can translate it with "maritime artillery lighter".

In order to prevent us modelling the same ships, I started a collection thread about ships, which are currently under development.

I wonder why you guys would rather make some tanker than this!!! I mean... it's like you pick a yugo over ferrari when you can get the ferrari. Please if anyone ever finds time to see it through, this could be one of most popular downloads ships for SH3.
