So release it, especially that it's ready.

Competition can only bring benefits (unless it turns into hostility, which is unlikely). And if you won't release it - share ideas/files - I'm in constant search for good map tools and ideas for better "Styles" or add-ons for this mod. Diversity (like competition) also brings rather good things.

Do you mean a combined double set or adding wooden handles to KM tools?

Glad you like it, gentlemen.

I use your Kriegsmarine Style, but the wood really looks good
i bet you'll get the request for all versions to have the wood

I completely agree, the wood grips for the tools really adds a nice touch of realism. Excellent job.

Working on KM Style + wooden handles/grips (which word suits better? - I'm not an English native speaker).

If you have any more requests, shoot.

As I don't like the big-pitch-black eagle I posted above (too heavy and consists of too many details, that produce a messy stain), I searched the internet for some REAL markings used on tools/equipment. And I found them. There were basically 3 to 4 versions of a single marking used throughout whole the Nazi era: A very simplified eagle holding a svastika in a wreath, and letter M below it (where M stands for "Marine" - "Navy"). Whatever was marked with this sign was KM property.

I saw at least 1 original plotting tool marked with this sign (a large wooden triangle), so it is historically VERY accurate to us those markings instead of the black, detail-heavy eagle we can find on Wikipedia pages nowadays (actually the little one would look cute if not the svastika, wouldn't it?). This is what I got so far:

I paste it not only for anybody interested, but also for me... to see how little I achieved in sooo many hours. Couldn't there be less colours?

EDIT:
More noteworthy examples:

Dzien dobry AvM,

Like the stylized line-drawing version; very simple, very effective!

Keep up the good work

Regards

Current KM Style is OK for me.
