VonDos · 11-17-07, 09:18 AM

Hi everyone!
Model, damage model and weapons are finished.. now shadows e reflections.. it's near to the end!

What do you think about this? :hmm:
Not my best ship

.. shuold i release it, or it's too ugly? :hmm:

(based on Gerome carrier "Graf Zeppelin", thanks!)

I like it.

Maybe a bit paintless on the sides...but I still like it.

STEED · 11-17-07, 10:23 AM

Looks a little bland but I'm sure you can beef it up, yes release it.

Wolfehunter · 11-17-07, 12:58 PM

VonDos are you going to also finish the Graf Zepplin equivalent at a later date? Your work is very nice.

It would still be nice to see as eye candy ingame yes..

Why I ask? I feel your skills to ressurect the non finished carrier is a very close reality where as history had failed.

It looks fine. As a suggestion though put some planes on the flying deck for realism reasons.

CapZap1970 · 11-17-07, 01:06 PM

Very nice!!!

I like it a lot... please release it once it's finished. I think Mel's advice is right on spot too!!!

Great work, VonDos!

When i have started the ship, she had 4 planes on the deck; but i have cut away them for historic reasons.. Aquila never carried aircrafts

Should i make a "whit planes" and a "without planes" version?

CapZap1970 · 11-17-07, 02:03 PM

I would say that's a good idea... some might want to see planes on deck and others might not...

I love it - make a release.

I would actually make three versions, although the third might take a little more work. The first two would be the ones which you are thinking of right now - completed versions with and without aircraft. The third version would be an incomplete version as would be seen at anchor.

Wolfehunter · 11-17-07, 03:26 PM

Make them with planes. It for the look anyways. Better eye candy.

wonderful work. I would prefer planes!
What use should a flight deck have, when not for planes :hmm: ?
Let's assume the ship would be in regular duty

Hunter · 11-19-07, 02:44 AM

Then may be two versions - one with aircrafts and all weapones, and anther one incomplete as eye candy for realism lovers.

She's not ugly at all, but the dimensions don't work for me

She looks a wee bit too short (or too wide) when compared to schematics and photos. However, I'm aware that is nothing to be fixed easily. I would give her a meter or two or so more draft so she sits deeper in the water and that those saddle tanks (or whatever they are) are just barely visible! That will make her look a little more elegant, and longer too.
This wiki picture also shows that the tanks are barely above the waterline.

Otherwise release here the way she is. She will do nicely!! Thanks a lot for your work VonDos
