Just to give people an idea of how large this ship is relative to other ships:
  • 35% smaller than a CSGN Mk-2
  • 40% larger than a Tico
  • 64% larger than a Flight 1 Burke
  • 130% larger than a DG/AEGIS
(Click for full size, and a preview of CGBL)
Image Depreciated

I want to see where you're going to go with this one, because it has the potential to be awesome.

I found this painting the other day.. you design has a lot of great potential.. It is unclear in the painting if the fore/aft gun mounts are MK-71 or 5-inch.. since it is a WIP.. do you have anyother reference you are using to develop your drawing.. If possible would you mind sharing them.. This would be a great model in 1/350.. Thanks..

I have the references I showed off here.

That reference pegs them at Mk-45 mounts, and I've got that painting saved. I've been trying to figure out where both the painting is so I can get a copy, and where the design work is stored so I know where to send the FOIA request for further info on the design. It's slow going, but I've actually got more info for this than I did for my last ship, DG/AEGIS.

Hm, the angle of the walls underneath the two CIWs should have the same angle as the other deckhouse faces on that side. The aft side of the forward deckhouse should likewise be a single smooth line, without the break in it right now. In fact although the linedrawing doesn't show it, the painting shows that that angle should carry on into the forward stack.

Just in front of the aft CIWS you've got a vertical line in the superstructure: This might simply be a ladder, rahter than a hard break in the superstructure. This would make more sense from a stealth p.o.v..

Last but not least, the exhausts should all be at the same height. The painting suffers from perspective distortion, the linedrawing is quite clear about this. Just think back to the first Burke's, they also had the exhausts sticking out of the stacks all at the same height.

Almost there with those CIWS emplacements. Imagine them both having the same shape as the forward Burke CIWS pedestal. In fact almost exactly like that. Your original shape was closer to what they'd look like.

And those red outlines on the superstructure? I'd use Burke intake panels for those.
