New WIP Ship - Proteus Class Collier

AG124 · 11-06-06, 04:07 PM

After Iambecomelife said that he was no longer releasing his older merchants, I decided to try building a collier similar to the Nereus and Proteus (US Navy colliers sold to Canada in late 1941 and lost to unknown causes shortly after) - (I always wanted to build one of these). It is not finished yet of course - a couple of cranes need to be moved slightly, the lifeboats need to be moved, the hatchcovers need to be adjusted, and an ID image needs to be made. Also, I managed to ruin to UV Mapping of the upper level of the bridge, and thus it may have to be rebuilt.

Anyway, here is a WIP shot:

BTW - There were actually seven vessels in the Proteus class, although the number is usually listed as four. The four well know ones are as follows:

USS Cyclops - Lost (unknown cause), February, 1918.
USS Jupiter - Converted to CV-1 USS Langley (Sunk by Japanese a/c, 1942)
USS Nereus - Lost (unknown cause), December, 1941.
USS Proteus - Lost (unknown cause), December(?), 1941.

The other three were USS Orion, USS Neptune, and USS Jason. All three were scrapped in the late 1930s.
