Hi
I have recoloured WeVi with more contrast, does it look any better?



Old version

Source Materiel is always welcome.

Alas, Foresoothe, I disagree. I think it does look better with shading giving a better sence of hull contours.

So there!

Bigger Guns, MORE POWER!

Not to the degree you've done, somewhere in between/more faithful the original might yield better results

Yes x100000000000

No, I have to say I don't like it. The first version was just fine.

Can you post an image that shows the way the hull slopes, so we can make a better decision?

I agree with ALVAMA.

Shading is agreeable as long as there is not such a high degree of contrast. If you would lighten the shading, it would look good and be more agreeable with high ranking members.

Again, need to see a good photo of the West Virginia's hull before I can make an informed decision. But my knee jerk reaction is "no".

There shouldn't be ANY contrast on the side plating, as it was a continuous faired sheet below the 5/38 mounts.



Another case of adding detail that might be appropriate if that detail were actually present on the real ship.
