Thank you for the comments everyone. I've really enjoyed drawing Baden.
I hope the Bayern itself will be also treated by your most capable hands.
BB1987 is right about Bayern, it is my intention to draw the incomplete Sachsen and Württemberg.
What was the purpose of the stern spirit?
Unfortunately I have no information on that, SMS Moltke had a sternspirit and a bowspirit during his trials, so it could have something to to do with that.
One (very) minor nitpick though: on the 1918 version, you mention white circles painted on the B and C turrets. I can find only the one on turret B. Is there something in the turret shape that makes the other invisible from this angle?
I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that, in all the photos that I have seen of Baden, 'C' turret's hollow white circle has the edges missing and because the circle ends before the turret's roof changes angle the circle hollow remains out of view completely.
Regards
Tempest.
