Sister ship "San Marco" as target ship during ww2:

This is the eighth of a serie of revised units for Regia Marina, a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.

As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
This specific unit, old and obsolete, as original cruiser was in WW2 ( :D ) really needed to be rescaled and adjusted.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases :hmmm:

Superb work on this old cruiser!

I love the details and the battered look of her textures. They make her look like she is on the verge of collapsing in rust. The only pity is that we can't give her the coup de grace lol :arrgh!::D
