Maybe a slight tweak to those AA guns will resolve that.

Hi everyone, I've not really been able to find time to draw for a while, I've been checking out all the drawings that everyone's been posting and I'm staggered at the awesome quality.

I've made a start at making a complete redrawing of the L 20 e Battleship using a better quality drawing, its a WIP at the moment but I think it will be a big improvement on the previous version... I hope.

Hi Tempus Fugit,

Well, I was impressed by the first iteration, can't wait to see what this go-round will end up looking like!

Regards,
Adam

Hello Tempus Fugit!

Coming together nicely. One thing: German ships of that era had very little flare forward - I have never seen a top down of the L20e-alpha, but I think shading in this are should be less pronounced.

Didn't you want to do the Bayern-class first? I'm eagerly waiting for them ever since I gave up Bayern at 80% complete to honour your earlier claim!

Greetings

I'm trying to home my skills before posting the Bayerns. I had no idea that you had actually started let alone were 80% completed. In that case I think you should do the Bayerns.

Do you think the L20e should have a flat bow? There's quite an overhang by the look of the plan view.

Hello again!

You got it right, I was just too lazy to get my copy of Forstmeier's book from the basement. It appears the imperial navy introduced flared bows with the Ersatz Yorck already, so L20e-alpha should get them too. I vow next time I'll check my sources before posting gibberish...

As for the Bayern's: I'll stop after Bayern, and I'm sorry I did not check your worklist earlier. Baden, Sachsen and Württemberg are all yours. I finish Bayern when I am through with the current french destroyer collection.

Greetings
GD

I thought the first L20e drawing looked good, but this looks to be shaping up well. A decent plan can make all the difference, especially with 'paper' ships that never saw the metal cutting stage.

Thank you for the positive feedback everyone

Garlicdesign do you think I should reduce the flare a bit or eliminate it? The L24 has a noticeably flared bow but with the L20e it's hard to tell.

If you a want to draw the Bayern class you're more than welcome btw.
