you can replace the brown shading on the underwater hull with dark red. it's the new way.

to not outline the bridge window in black and and using correct Shipbucket window color is a big nono. you shall also NEVER do shading in an window.

Until you have done that, she is not an Shipbucket drawing. and I will not comment on she is good or not!

Shipbucket rule, is shipbucket rule. we have given room for a different way to shade the hull, but only if the artist can do it correct. all other things should follow the standard shipbucket shading rule.

about shading: you miss a lot of shading on superstructure.

Thats Gold and absolutely splendid there Gunship.

I see she is still WIP, but I hope I can already post my comments. if you are already planning to rectify some of these things, you can ignore them

she doesn't look too bad on first glance, but there are some things I dislike/disagree with, or which are not correct.

- I think the radar arrays should be outlined in black
- your hull shading shows the bow being very bulbous and the midship perfectly blocky (as in the bilge is literally less then one pixel)
- are you certain of that stern shape? I would like to see references for that, I have not yet found any that can be deemed accurate for the underwater hull and I am curious.
- the railings are not shipbucket 'kosher'
- the railing colour seems so close to the superstructure colour that it dissapears in front of the superstructure
- the platform next to the funnel for antenna's is light grey in real life, thus or the platform, or the dark grey is misplaced.
- I cannot find your overhang shading
- as heuhen said, window colour!
- the sonar dome is replaced by an better part, I think it is an SQS-26 series array?
- the VLS itself should be visible on top of the VLS block forward.
- the refueling hatch just in front of the radar is an USN part, and this ship seems to have that installation flush with the bulkhead there, not in an hatch.
- some some of the air intakes on the aft funnel are wrong or missing.
- some antenna's are missing
- the egg on the aft superstructure is certainly no WM egg.
- the ECM array on the top mast is I think no AEGIS ECM array but an different one. not certain on that, but it looks different.
- could you maybe try out some grey lines in the mast, to show angles? you used those everywhere but in the mast.
- there are as far as I can see no cross wires in the wire antenna.

Ok, it's the portside, but it appears it's the very same reference used for the drawing above with most the corrections needed to turn it into the starboard view implemented (a few not, it might explain the air intakes discrepancies for example).
The proportions appear to be correct, Yet, some fixes to the sonar dome and underwater hull (especially at the stern with the rudder and popeller struts) seems to be needed.

Take it easy people.. You people intend to only judge and complain; firstly start to tell him; he did well, even it's just yet a WIP. He did take the time and effort with plessure; you people screwed the topic again with lists of shit. Again Shipbucket it all about making clear on errors. Also no need for fancy lists with alot of hard -and cool looking fancy terms.

Guys lets please dial it back a bit... no need to get angry/upset over the drawings...

Let's try to help Gunship get his drawing up to spec - everyone wins that way.

WIP,

Once I finish it, it will according to the rules of this forum.

Thanks for your advice
