Glad to help! :yeah:

Reworked stern and preparation for UV-mapping. The goal being to create real dazzle camo skins (http://www.usndazzle.com/ships.php?category=5&class=2).

WoWS' model's vertical scale doesn't match with plans found on the internet. I don't know which one is correct... :/\\!!

Very nice... can't wait to see the finished model. :yep:

Hopefully the start of the means to have the ships, subs & all... being a lot less, resource heavy while still retaining enough detail, to look grand. Thereby, allowing for a more... realistic looking sim that SH3... & moving forward to 4 & if possible, 5 as well. :yep: could have been & would. That, at least, is the hope with the work done here. :shucks:

Hopefully someone who knows & has more... eperience with working with WoWs', conversions will step up, to provide details into the proper methodology to get the dimensions, set to rights. :yep:

I'd stick to WoWs ship dimensions. The game is rubbish, but the 3D models department know their stuff.

Good plan, but it's too small and a bit out of shape (not perfectly flat and right angled). At least, it gaves a useful information about the propellers' position. :)

Oh ! Great plan ! Despite all my researches, I didn't found a plan with that precision. I wish I've found it sooner ! ...

Probably, but this particular unit (not being a playable unit, but just an element for "decoration") may not have been extremly "polished" and I've found some substantial errors.

Even though it is a bit out of sorts, it still retains useful info. The prop's position, as you noted being just 1 of many.
Which is why I included it in there. :yep:

Is a lot of plans like that there... just have to comb through to find the 1 you need though.. even in the short time, of pulling together the minute, bit of info I posted, that 1 there... took a bit of doing as there is sooo much info available there. :yep:

@ JapLance : You were right, WoWS' model's main dimensions match almost perfectly with the detailed plan found by Mad Mardigan. :up:

@ Mad Mardigan : Could you see if you can find the plan that you posted in a higher resolution ? I have an outdated navigator and I can't access all websites. I'm very interested by the hull lines, for a nice and realistic hull. :yep:
