Shipbucket

Would it help if I removed the center funnel and the area around it? Shrinking the length of the ship? And I could redo the bow again so it was swept differently.

Yes, it's look like two ships from different time, hull from some pre dred and structures from late 40'.

Ok, as long as the hull is good. I'll rework the structures then
Are the weapons alright?

The weapons themselves look great, but I'm wondering why you chose to make the rafts bright red when normally, they would be part of the camouflage scheme.

Wait a second, ships actually have a camouflage theme?
I think I asked myself that when I did it and told myself it's so they're easier for the crew to find in the smoke and smog of battle, and so they stand out better against the waves for rescue vessels to find them.

It's so people have a much harder time telling what direction you are going bu just looking at you.

I think that your ship shows a lot more effort put into it than most. As a rule in the Shipbucket style, you don't show rivets, they are too small to be seen at this scale. Everything which can't be distinguished on a real ship is not drawn, and that includes hull plating.
Also your bridge looks like it has full length windows, or you don't have enough height in your deck. Life boats look too small and out of scale, and you can't place a second tier of life boats like you did. The feeling of out of scale parts also goes with the directors (especially those on the main mast- they look too small).
I also question the use of secondary guns in barbettes and also in turrets.

Oh that's a rule? I thought it was just one of those "Don't have to but you can if if you want" things, I've only seen it on a few SB ships so I thought most people just didn't feel like it. The life boats are straight from a parts sheet, I'll find it link it if you'd like, but I planned on replacing them anyway, I don't really care for them much. Didn't know I couldn't double tier them though, thanks for that. The top and bottom directors are both the RN "Main Rangefinder 1917" from the parts sheet with a very slight modification that doesn't change its size. The center director I made from scratch, and if that's the one you're referring to I'll make it bigger.
The bridge has been completely redone, but I'll keep that in mind.
As for the secondaries, which would you recommend getting rid of? Keep the barbettes for this and replace them with turrets in the future refit?

I'll post an update today yet but I'm futzing with the superstructure more, I keep making it too big and 40s ish, it's slowly getting better though.

Edit: I'm not sure, but could the parts feeling small because I'm building too big around them? My decks are all 14px tall, the same height as my Gallia Class, which were in turn the same height as the original ship I was modifying. Should I be going 6ft tall instead? I always thought ships were cramped but 6ft seems rather small...

Second edit: OH WAIT, unless you meant they were too small for a ship this size? As in they wouldn't hold enough crew?
