New 2500t submarine.
This is my first drawing that I made from scratch.








All those are modifications to existing drawings. Still works in progress.

Authors of drawings I used:
Enrr
Colosseum
Darth Panda
WhyMe
Hood
Tornado
Gollevainen
Portsmounth Bill
I like to thanks those people and apologise for butchering there drawings is a horrible way.

Welcome on shipbucket lad, you start in good forum and that's ... well, good.

Read our Introduction and Guidelines and Forum rules. Also we need to work on your ships in case of proper template, crediting and stuff. If you have any question don't hesitate to ask here or PM.

And I must say I like that Italian style destroyer, second from bottom.

If you've borrowed parts, you have to credit properly in the picture.
Overall most seem to be fairly solid designs. They have, however, an odd mix of weapons from different countries.
For example the light cruiser, has three tripple six-in guns of an american system, and Japanese 5,5-in guns for secondaries. It's always good to keep the armament and systems to one country, especially during the WW-era. Not to mention it's quite a waste using 5,5-in(140mm) secondaries on a ship who's main armament consists of six-in(152mm) guns.

On the credit matter, the rules are usually along the lines of: hull and superstructure(conning tower, mast, funnels and so on) needs crediting, while armament, boats, and different systems and smaller details(like life rings and fire fighting equipment) does not.

The third ship from the bottom looks quite interesting. The shaft look a bit odd, but I like the concept of a "destroyer killer".

That is the drawing that has least of my input. It is Enrr Navigatori with one torpedo launcher removed and a forth gun added. Well those ships are just me getting back to drawing ships.


This was my very first attempt. I made it in 2005 for Wesworld.



A little back story for each ship:
Carrier
Started life in 1940 as a seaplane tender of Maseru class, in the 1950's aft helipad was installed.
In 1960 conversion to a experimental carrier was under taken.
Cruiser
1939 a contract with New York Navy Yard was sign for plans and technical support for building a Cruiser.
Americans provide plans of a shortened Brooklyn class(CL-40).
Destroyer top
Xai-Xai class ship build in 1947.First ship of it type build with out foreign assistance.
Destroyer middle.
Maxixe class.A modified Fubuki class ship build with Japanese assistance. Build 1934
Destroyer lower.
Beira class A Italian design ship, Italian technical assisted allowed for construction of first domestic build DD.build in 1930
Corvette.
Isandlwana class, production started in 1960.

That's probably why I like it. I was always fan of Navigatori.

The first thing you'll have to do is to put the credits back in. We're kinda touchy on that subject.

Worklist

Source Materiel is always welcome.

I will do that immediately.

I put the credits back in.

Those are still work in progress.
I will have to draw weapons, for them. Japanese 140mm SP mount is"playing the role" of 130mm DP mount.

Hi and welcome to Shipbucket.
These are nice start, though of course more non-kitbashy "own designs" (not mentioning real ships) would be even nicer.
However, besides adding names and credits, those ships should be also put in proper templates which can be found here:
