Baton Rouge is a Work trip but I'll still enjoy it.
:D

Most of the roof is greater then 45 degrees as you can really see here.

My pitch diagrams place it nearer to 56 - 60 degrees.

Amazing... The stadium NW of Fruerlund, I used to play football there as a kid. Back then, I had no clue on what kind of historical grounds I actually live (lived in Engelsby, also noted South on the map). Also, I had the chance to see the Marineakademie from inside because the father of a friend was a Marinefotograf (Navy photographer) and took us there, showed us a nice museum and took us up to the belltower... Good `ol times!

Years later, while reading a book about the grey wolves, I found a picture of a crew standing in front of the stairs of the Naval Academy.
~Sixty years later, I was standing on the same spot, not knowing that this stuff would interest me so much later...

Sorry for OT and bathing in some childhood memories... :oops:

18 / 12 seems to fit fine :yep:

Edit: Flensburgs shoreline in the Land Unit Layer isn't too bad...

Excellent thread, Priv! :up:

PS. When Privateer says "Danlisa and Dowly has helped me with Photoshop",
he really means just Danlisa. :DL

someone is trying to spread some rumours already....:haha:

Did some adjusting of UV's on the 12pdr barrel areas and some work on the texture.
The lettering is from a real 12 pdr.
:yep:

The angle the photo was taken from distorts the true angle of the roof edge.
I'm sure there's a fancy math formula that explains it.
Distance skewness maybe?
But you can test this by folding a piece of paper and changeing the angle you view it from.

I suspect the plans will give us nearer 20/12 or better.
:hmmm:

Just checking into the armory... I think I found Privateer at work.

I'm taking a look at this now, thank you!

The business trip is finally over.
:yep:

I did visit the USS Kidd Museum in Baton Rouge and snap some photos.
I can post them if anyone is interested.

@Kpt,
Good to see you pop in.
:up:

@Anvart
What happened to the links to the MG42?
I saw them from a Motel Computer and planned to look closer now that I'm home.
:hmmm:

Thank You My Friend.
:salute:
Do you still have the links to the MG 42 that you posted?
I'd like to see those again.

Any news on the plans of the Marineschule Mürwik?
I'm going to be in Virgina for 2 weeks on a job come Monday but I'll have a little better access to the 'Net this time.
I won't have anything to do actual modeling but I could study things and plan the work needed.

I'll get a newer version of the 12pdr done before I go.

Here's a nice shot of the 5 inch Gun on the USS Kidd Fletcher Class Destroyer.

Gah, I'm so confused about 3D modelling! I prefer drawing things with pencil and rulers!

With the change in my Business looking real good, I plan on getting a Wacom product ASAP.
:yep:
