Reccomandations and advices for this wip unit?

[VonDos]

Hi everyone; i'm glad to show you mi last work: finished i think, but if someone has advices or reccomandations, this is the right place to say it.

Voilà my last unit, based on UBOAT234 Queen Mary (thanks!), an italian liner: REX

Note: in the first image the smoke seems in the wrong place.. this isn't a problem.
Ah, if you see, i'll see a thing: second funnel make more smoke than first ^_^

Any comment?

Very nice
How many funnels did that have originally ?

[Jimbuna]

If it's based on the model of the old QM....I'd say it's 3 :hmm:

Yes, 3
The third is now part of the second (and this cause the different smoke effect) :yep:

She`s a real looker VonDos.:up:

Thank you ^^

another thing about this liner:

This is a 51000 tons liner;
The hull is 83% circa of the original QM;
for be exact i've used thiese proportion:

QueenMaryLong : 1 = RexLong : x
311 : 1 = 268 : x

QueenMaryWide : 1 = RexWide : y
36 : 1 = 29 : y

QueenMaryHigh : 1 = RexHigh : z
55 : 1 = 37 : z

Also ship's secondary parts have been scaled with the descripted parameters: lifeboats, pipes,..

Rex was a very big ship, but QM is supersize!

Happy new Year to all !

Hi VD, it is an very nice ship you have worked out. :up:


Some small changes i would do on this unit.
I would set the two funnels a little bit more to the backside cause it seems that the original got them more back as your model.
The second funnel is near the center of the ship.

Done! Now the second funnel is near the centre, and the first is a little behind the old position.

Beautiful work, as always. Can't wait to watch her sail.

A quick question - do you know how far along the warspite/Richelieu are? I think I remember Uboat234 asking you for help with the warspite...and he does not seem to be onlne very often.

[VonDos]

Thank you, Paul;

for Richelieu i can't say anything; this is a UBOAT234 own project, so only him can speak about.
But this will be a great unit! :arrgh!:

Warspite.. for now we haven't do a lot of work on this unit.. study, job and life take a lot of time to everyone.
I've seen also a wip Warspite from IAMBECOMELIFE: :hmm:
