I can't believe how few resources I can find for this class of ship. The best reference I can show you is Colorado in Feb. 1942, the footprint of the 0-1 should be identical.

Thanks Syzmo. Welcome to my world. The Tennessee class changed so much and so often it's difficult to stay within a decade. Photos are rare and very grainy. Models are useless. I've prety much have the top-down and the bow views done and am working on cosmetics for the starboard view. This evening I'll begin the stern elevation. Thank God for day's off from work!

Really great views, I think the underwater hull should be a little wider below the belt where the torpedo defense blisters are. I know that this class had them built in, rather than retrofitted like the earlier battleships but im not sure how pronounced it should be.

Thanks.

Just when you think you're finished . . . something else comes up.

No, really thanks Syzmo.

I know they're a headache to draw, but you really should make the propellers three-way symmetrical. Looks good though

Nice work.

Hey its no trouble at all for me to pretend to be an expert over the internet. I'm sorry you're the one who was unfortunate enough to draw something I know enough about to tell you what needs improvement, but not enough to do it myself.

Anyway here is what I was talking about with the bulge.
