Awesome job David! It's great to see these vessels with accurate top view.
And for C-Mike: I admire your knowledge of ships overall (especially French ships) but is it really necessary to bring the details up the way you do? WAROF (with all respect, of course)

Really Is that how it is done

Excellent work.

Allow me just one little nitpick:
The ships' proppellers don´t seem to match the quality of the rest of your work.
A little improvement would enhance the whole drawing.

I make this comment a lot, but it is of course one of the hardest bits to get right......
I doubt the hull is the same shape over the entire length, so that hull shading is most likely a bit off I am certain of it that there should be changes to skeg (the shape indicates one, and I doubt it is angled more then 45 degrees with the waterline), bow (not the same over the entire length) and stern (aft of the propellers the hull is clearly angled down, but only the lower part is shaded).

other then that, really nice work!

Wow, great work!

You're right and I'm working on it Majhost and I'm a little cramped for time to futz with Hosting Pics.Net.

I've been working on fine tuning things I don't like, such as the lower director on the side of the bridge tower as well as modeling the shadows more.

I''m not ignoring you, I just don't know how to do that yet. Maybe next week

Excellent work.
Underwater shading is a bugger, I think we need to cut some slack there. Without practice its hard to master (IMVHO at any rate).

Thanks. I'm working on Dunkerque 1939 As Envisioned and the 1940 actual at the moment. Stopping to practice undewater shading just doesn't fit in at this time.
