After a lot of cloning problems, works for mi next ship are started.
This is the first impression; now i'm working on the bow
She's based on UBOAT234 great QM; thanks to BigBoyWooly, Privateer and Hunter who tryed to help mi cloning original NPPQ_ files, it was strongly problematic. :)

[TarJak]

Mate you truly are the liner maestro!:up: Can't wait to see the finished product in game!

[Jimbuna]

Any urge or plans to model an RMS Laconia :hmm:

[mr chris]

Nice.....PM me if you need a beta test. I'd be happy to assist.

[VonDos]

Thanks, Paul!
I'll PM you soon all ^_^ I well remember your great BT with Normandie :up: Great!

[Ivan Putski]

VonDos, she`s going to be a real beauty, be looking for her release. Puts:up:

[VonDos]

reworked funnels; now some pipes are too big; i'll reduce them:hmm:
Tomorrow; i'll also try to mod the bow (for now there are two "withe box):oops:

[Reece]

Excellent work, looking forward to the launch date!:up:

[VonDos]

3D Model is finished!
Skin is based on my old Queen Mary in Cunard Colors; a little rusty, but not a lot.
Now i should work on parameters and sil file.

[mr chris]

A real gem VonDos.
Look forward to seeing her in front of my attack scope:arrgh!:

[coronas]

Another Big Beatifull Lady! Amazing VonDos. :up:

[Paul.Saenger]

I don't know...something about her bow part when viewed from above bugs me. The photograph makes it look a lot more smoother and less straight than your model does.

[denis_469]

Excellent work (as usually for you)!

[Jimbuna]

Looks real nice http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

:doh: Can you make a drawn please? :hmm:
Sorry but i'd like to understand well this :oops: for improve!

[Paul.Saenger]

Sure thing.

Here is your QE - almost all straight lines.

Now, watch the following (the red line in the middle of the second pic is quite hard to see)

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/7320/dhm2576aqw5.jpg

As you can see, the bow is sloping and the decks are as well. There is no straight line. I think you need to raise the forward bow portion to create a sloping image and do the same with the decks.

The following images may illustrate this better:

Though an overrepresentation, once can very well see the "curved" decks.

Which is also why the photo of her from the above angle looks different than your "photo" of the model.

I hope this helps, though I do not know if there is a solution for this.

Sorry for causing you the extra trouble.
Cheers,
Paul

Very Good VonDos, am anxious to install,:yep: what do you think of the idea of building the Titanic?:D

[VonDos]

Titanic :hmm:

For now i've a lot of WW2 era ships request: caronia, dnepr, uss carriers...;
RMS Titanic was a wonderfull ship (short life, but great!); only a few ship have change the navigation history like her (another one can be the Great Eastern, i think); :hmm:

I can't say "no, i'll not create a Titanic model", just because this is a good challenge; btw, not now :x

[Reece]

No problems VonDos, I understand, just can't wait to sink the Titanic, wonder what the pictures would look like,;) your QM going down looked very realistic, made my hair stand on end!!:yep:
Thanks.

[fgsr1969]

all your ships look great. as i have followed the history of most of the ships youve created i think its great when one shows up in the attack scope, however i was wondering if you have thought of creating the White Star Line RMS Olympic as she was a successful WW2 troop ship as well.

[rod_oil]

just can't wait to sink the Titanic, wonder what the pictures would look like,;)

I think we need playable model of iceberg for this purpose, sir:D

[Reece]

That is what SH3 is for, changing history!:yep:

The RMS Olympic did not transport troops in WW2. She was long gone by then, having been scrapped in 1937 at the T.W. Ward Scrap Yard.

[Ruzbasan]

Shame that no one thought of preserving the RMS Olympic as a museum to her sister the Titanic.

[fgsr1969]

got my wars mixed up it was wwI she trooped in not wwII.

[Reece]

[VonDos]

Sorry for the delayed release, but some problems in real life are the cause;
btw, what do you think about this second skin?
I think i'll release both; any impression?

[denis_469]

I think, that you skins very good and you can release it ship.

[Cavour]

Nice unit! Waiting for! :up:

[Jimbuna]

Very nice VD....I particularly like the grey skin http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[coronas]

She looks good in grey dress.

[Reece]

Hows it going VonDos, hope all is going smoothly.:yep:

Tonigh i'll release:

1) a pack with RMS Queen Elizabeth in Cunard colors only
2) a pack with 4 skins: GrayWar and Cunard colors for both Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, for eveyone want to apply gray ghost's skins

[Reece]

Ripper mate!:up:

[roadhogg]

The grey one looks really fast and sinister.

A slightly deeper grey might add to the sinister look though.

I feel another game addition arriving :D
