I'm requesting the Astute to be added to the game if that's not to much trouble, I have a lot of reference images:

I hope this submarine can be added, we need a bit of British ;o

Right so I decided as a personal project to attempt modelling her myself, being a beginner it was difficult to know where to start and so I struggled for a while on how and what to do.

Here is what I have done so far:

The mesh fits the side and top and front view almost perfectly.

Any feed back and suggestions on how to make almost exact would be great.

Edit:

Ok so I started to add the detail around the conning area, the actual conning tower I will do Separate so I don't ruin what I've gotten so far:

As you can see there is a lot of work to be done.

As you can see I'm just trying to refine the area around the base of the conning tower, and then I'll move to the aft of the ship to model the Propeller area and the Shroud I think they call it, no Idea to be honest :DL

I'll keep updating as I go along, please leave some suggestions on how to get a smoother rounder hull as it's a little squarish at the moment....I'm using blender.

Here is what I have after modelling the aft area, tho I'm still sure it will never look like the real thing :cry:

Now I have to try and round the entire model, it's to squared, I don't yet know how to get that smooth surface like in the reference pictures.
