I was going through the old forums (the 3rd thread, and now the , and came across this: http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m542/99ProblemsSB/D-MarderII.png This shows it as being based on the Panzer 38(t) chassis, when I'm fairly certain the Marder II was based on the Panzer II chassis. The 38(t) w...

Right. The original of this on pg 1 of the first thread was what got me interested in FD scale. And after an aborted attempt at a full-on ship, I figured I'd better leave the construction site, and go back to the sandbox. :cry: The South African Rooikat. Good detailed pics are a bit tough to come by...
It's a good "first drawing"... maybe some doubts about underwater panels ... As you pointed out, it's first drawing. So, I'll take what I can get. :mrgreen: And while "doubts" are expected, they're hardly helpful in terms of improving the drawing. Mind serving a side of commentary/input along with ...

Steel, concrete ships have smooth hulls. The look comes from then-primitive welding processes (most ships were still riveted) Granted, compared to now, the techniques were a bit... yea. But for the time, (if I've read correctly) they were a highly advanced design, with oil fired turbine engines, et...
That's more like it. The panel lines on the hull are normally excessive, but since they were a distinguishing feature on Hog Islanders it might be made an exception. You are correct. I wasn't planning on putting them in, but when trying to pull details from the few pictures I was able to find, all ...
you don't need a range to shade following shipbucket style. this is how you should shade. if you want advanced shading, use this: http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc316/Novgorodsfleet/00savytys-varjostus.png the hull is normally not shaded .
