Like I said in the FD-scale forum on the far eastern threat, I will be preoccupied on other more pressing matters in august but still I try to make this AU as long as I can and visit every now and then when the mrs Golly doesen't see

Also as time to time things gets boring and you find out that everyone else is doing the same thing and stuff doesen't seem fresh anymore. Therefore I decided to renew the whole concept of publishing my AU project. This time it will be in the Shipbucket Wikipages http://shipbucket.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. I hope I can do my share to boost it up and make it more popular.

So this time the description of each ships and the backstories are found on the wiki, more spesificly in here http://shipbucket.com/wiki/index.php/Fa ... n_Republic. Now as you can see it still very much WIP, but I will update it as I go by. I will post the drawings, but only the drawings in here in the forum in this thread also.

So we start this AU navy from the situation of Far Eastern Empire's fleet just prior the revolution in 1920. (Initially I was planning to do it from the start but there is no way I could have managed it with this very short timeframe that I have left). In this first patch of drawings, there is the light forces. Cruisers and Capital units fill follown soonish.

Here is more direct link to the Imperial Navy and its ships in service at 1920: http://shipbucket.com/wiki/index.php/Fa ... erial_Navy

Those are good drawings.
I noticed a few mistakes in spelling of their names:
"Shaskha" - has to be "Shashka"
"Verp" - has to be "Vepr"
"Molnya" - has to be "Molniya"

Damn typos...Thanks for pointing them out!

Superb drawings, I think these are probably been the best you have drawn so far for these AU's, the shading and detailing is top notch and really finishes these off nicely.
