A long overdue update to this series covering the mid and late wartime refits and camouflage schemes of HMS Renown.

As before, they're in the first post as well.

Here's my rendition of HMS Indomitable in her messy 1942 camouflage scheme, when she was operating in the Indian Ocean and came close to engaging the Kido Butai. Aside from the attractive camouflage scheme, I find the two-hangar taller look of this half-sister to the Illustrious class to be quite im...

Figured it was time for me to contribute another real ship around here ;) I do have some nefarious AU reasons for drawing this to steal bits, but she's also a unique and (in my opinion) very pretty ship, with an interesting camouflge scheme to boot! Anyway, here's a small heavy cruiser! https://i.im...

Got a small update on this design. I added tubs for the 1.1" positions and scattered a few 0.50 cals around. This then made a good canvas for some pre-war paint schemes.

Thanks!

Haha, spot on with the power, book says it's 147,000 SHP. Beam is 101.5 feet.

Oof, top view? I'll think about it. The only time I tried a top view so far I never finished the drawing. I know I have the sketch but for such a fairly simple design I don't think it adds much information.

I decided to draw a US BB study from 1934 that really caught my eye in terms of sleek and unique looks. This is "Design 2", as shown in Friedman's US battleships, for a 31,000 ton (standard), 30 knot battleship armed with 3x3 14"/50 guns. I may eventually draw more from this series, but let's focus ...
