Shipbucket

Hi everybody.
Just did a pic of the Swedish Visby Class. I am aware that there aleady is a Visby drawing, but as I like the ship and I found the drawing by MConrads to be a little bit dull I decided to make my own one.

I took the A109-Helo from Little Bird's drawing from the parts sheets forum (thx for doing those!). However I think its not exactely to scale, so I'm thinking about making a new one. Maybe later...

As I guess some people would consider it not to be according to shipbucket-rules, I posted it in this forum.

Hope you like it!

Maybe I do the other proposed versions of the Visby (Export, Visby+ etc.) in the near future.



Comments are welcome!

Wow! Very cool drawing!

If you used MConrads drawings, or larger parts of it hulls you should credit him!


BTW. Shading on some area is a bit to dark, For example the hatch.

Before anyone gets something wrong here:
Meaning: I did my own one. Meaning: IT'S 100% SCRATCH
(besides the helicopter, which seems to be to scale after all, I just checked it. This thing REALLY is so small...)

Yes Helicopters is small!

Quite nifty!

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

btw does anybody know what the big black grid-thing on the side is? I wonder what thats sopposed to be. On the pics it seems flat, not like a grill or something. maybe its some kind of radar?

It's the exhaust from the RBS-15 missiles

Are you shure about that? I'm talking about this very prominent black sqares-thingy below the landing deck...


This picture and video shows that there isnt any exhaust coming from that part...

From the pics I know, the RBS is mounted somewhere below the bridge part, although I wonder where. There is no matching door for it.


Maybe its the exhaust for the not outfitted AGM, but even that won't really fit.


I know that every Visby-Ship is very different in the details though.
And I realized that the ROV comes from the smaller side door. Think I have to change that...

Air intakes for the engines I guess. It looks like it's covered with a fine mesh of some sort, hence why it looks like panels rather than a grating.
The dark triangles you've labelled as Alecto launchers are housings for the navigational lights.
