Looks good, but I would need to overlap the new superstructure mesh with a blueprint, to tell you how accurate it is

The funnel colour looks more similar to the one used by Cunard:



The black band on the hull looks a bit too dark though. It should be darker than it currently is, but not so dark that detail/rust/dirt on it gets lost

Seconded

Hi everyone!

Planking is longitudinal, but ugly textures + graphic effects make really poor this effect. New textures will improve this, i'm looking for this.

@the_frog love those colors, if i send you the original tga, can you modify a little the file with this "Cunard" orange please?

@everyone if you want i can send a beta with the WIP unit.

Best regards,
Vd

Do the new decks have their texture mapped on the main unit texture or on a separate tga file?

I think Kendras was suggesting the new funnel colors with Cunard "scheme", not The_Frog.
Anyway, here is my intepretation of them: I made the bronze color on the funnel more orange-red (if need be, I can do it a bit darker and more red), and I have darkened/contrasted a bit the black bands on funnels and hull:

Let me know how the new colors will look in game

About suggesting the new funnel colors, sorry Kendras, you're right!
Testing now, just a moment!

ps For decks, separate tga file, like original QM 2,01

Voilà, with also a new wooden deck, maybe not definitive, but better than previous. I've also darkened windows and oblos:
