Lets try this again.

OK, some concerns I have...
1.) The prop shaft on the only underwater bits I could find show it a silver-grey-ish color. Since most all others I've seen are generally the same color as the hull, I have to wonder if that is just the result of the artist not knowing and making up as they went, or if the Hermes did indeed have one like that. Haven't been able to find any info one way or the other, but several of y'all seem to have better resourses than I.
2.) Some drawings show the forward part of the flightdeck level, some with a slight downward angle towards the bow. Most photos I've seen, which are generally at an angle cannot confirm or deny this slight drop.
3.) The shading on the bow seems a bit, well, strange. I was going off a pic from 1934, and tried to stay as close to it as I could, but it still looks a bit off. I believe I may have gone a bit too angular on it. Any recomendations on how to fix that?

Don't know, couldn't find it on anybodies list, but I could be wrong. So be it. I'll stop and just do it for my own amusement.

Delete this thread please.

yeah, I get it. I already said I'd stop. Is there a reason you wanted to beat a dead horse?

Sorry then. It seemed like a case of "rub the noobs face in his mistake" to me. If I was wrong, then that won't be the first time.
