Managed to get some more time to work on this latest model...
Pictures of lifesaving craft; several boats for British battleships are in the background. I really wanted to add ratlines to the lifeboats, but the poly cost is extreme....maybe it can be done with a TGA and alpha channel?
Added the compass platforms, wooden lifeboats, some stanchions, ventilators, more portholes, and some of the skylights that had not been created. Made corrections to the large ventilators, which were lower than I thought. Not happy with the stern, which does not taper right...that's a project for the weekend. Second Class deckhouse is basically still a low poly "placeholder". Also the cargo handling gear to the bow interests me - most models show her as she was around her maiden voyage, with symmetrical cranes. Apparently a larger crane was fitted to one side of the foremast before the sinking.
The bow looks too long in some shots, but it's just an optical illusion caused by Wings3d rendering.
Interesting picture of the moment of impact...
