Hello again!

[ img ]

Catapult and plane are from Redhorse's Dunkerque, I don't know if that's enough to warrant crediting - if so, just tell me and I do it.
By the way, I have not checked worklists for the Suffren-class, so if anyone is working on them, please inform me, and I draw something else...

Greetings
Garlicdesign

BEAUTIFUL!

From what I found on the archive, the only WWII-vintage French CLs or CAs drawn thus far are CL Jeanne D'Arc and CA Algerie.

That is a true beauty of a ship and an even better drawing! I hope to see more of these French designs, they are some of my favorites.

Beautiful ship and drawing! Something about the conning tower structure that I just love! :D

Splendid! One of my favorite cruisers of all time.

A year or more ago, I gave Bezobrazov a set of drawings for the Suffren class, and it was my impression that he intended to draw them all (or at least his favorite of the four).

Garlic, seeing your outstanding rendition of this class, makes me realize that you, not I, should draw the next class, the Suffrens. All I'm asking is that you draw all four; Suffren herself, Colbert, Dupleix and Foch, and that you present them as built, during their late 1930(preferably with the tricolor neutrality bands!) and, if your source material allows that, the Suffren as of Alexandria in 1940, and the three other sisters as of 1942.
Can you do this, yee Master of All-French designs? It really would please me, if you'd honor me thus!

Edit: @Brockpaine: yes, I've got the intention, still collecting material, but seeing garlicdesign's drawing, c'mon, how can I compete? Would it even be worthwhile? He knows his stuff and is darn good at what he does, so: All Hail to our new Empereur! :D 8-)

Awesome work!
Garlicdesign, You're doing a great work filling the (somewhat relatively neglected) French folder. :)

Lovely :D
My wish list Garlic

The Dusquene class by 1944-1945 (after US weapons refit)
The Suffren class:
- Suffren by 1944-1945 (after US weapons refit)
- Colbert or Foch around 1941
- Dupleix by 1942
;)

Another Gem :) Re the catapult and aircraft, I would say you wouldn't need to credit this as it belongs within the area of 'parts', rather than sections.
