Hi everyone, newbie here.

I'm currently working on a Shipbucket style rendition of the USS San Antonio, and I wouldnt mind some feedback/tips on my work.

FYI, I've done the ship in it's initial design configuration - without the ugly composite masts.

Also, could you please advise me how and when to credit people - I've used all bits of parts sheets here, but some adive is appreciated.

Thanks

Hey I Like the AEMS/S! On that note, your shading is a bit off, I'm not sold on the bow, and you need to move to the latest parts as seen in the USN Parts thread.

It needs a lot of work, but it's not a bad start. I look forward to seeing more.

Wow, that looks pretty good for your first drawing. I think for crediting, if you use bits from the parts sheets, you don't need to credit. If you use substantial chunks of someone elses drawing, you do need to credit.

I joined the forum a couple of months ago and I reccommend going through the other threads in the beginners section, where you'll find a lot of useful advice given to other newbies. It helped me a lot.

Welcome and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article :)

Thanks guys, your feedback is very helpful!

TimothyC, how do you recomend I improve the shading? I've tried to differentiate between different areas of the hull, but the area below the brodge is a bit harder to render.

I'm also looking for some hi-res pictures of the helo deck and the top of the ship - if anyone has a link to some, it'd be appreciated!

Thanks
Jezza

Shading: it depends one where the light are coming from.
but you can look at a real world ship and see how the shading are one he hull.:

Looking better. For the hull lines, Hood did an AU version at one point (that can be found here) so that might be a good guide.
That said, please fix the outdated parts (including TACAN, Satcoms and SLQ-32s).
