Some of the Armored Cruisers you will encounter...
A model representing the "HMS Duke of Edinburgh" and "HMS Black Prince". Main armament was 6 9.2" guns in a diamond layout, with 10 6" guns in casemates. After complaints about the 6" guns being unusable in heavy seas, six of them were remounted in the position shown on the main deck. "Black Prince" was destroyed during the night action at Jutland on 5/31/1916 after wandering into the German battlefleet (no survivors). HMS "Duke of Edinburgh" made it through Jutland unharmed, spending 1917 and 1918 as a convoy escort. If I have the time I will do an updated variant to represent "Duke of Edinburgh" after modernization, with a tripod mast and dazzle camouflage.
The model for "HMS Warrior", "HMS Natal", "HMS Cochrane", and "HMS Achilles". "HMS Warrior" was sunk at Jutland in 1916; "Natal" was destroyed by an accidental explosion in 1915, and "Cochrane" was wrecked in 1918. "Achilles", like other armored cruisers, was considered obsolete after the war, and scrapped in 1921.
Model for "HMS Hampshire", "HMS Argyll", "HMS Roxburgh", HMS "Carnarvon", "HMS Devonshire", and "HMS Antrim". The most famous member of this class was probably "Hampshire" - mined in 1916 with over 600 killed, including Lord Kitchener.
Replacement for the "Cressy" class model that I did a couple years ago - far from perfect but I like it much better than the old one. As you probably know, "Aboukir", "Cressy", and "Hogue" were sunk in 1914 in a single morning by submarine U-9 - 1400 men were drowned.
So, yeah, these Armored Cruisers didn't exactly have a pleasant war. They suffered from many design flaws, such as too many turrets (large area of the hull was vulnerable to ammo explosions) and centerline bulkheads (trapped water on one side and caused them to capsize).
Nevertheless, they would have been a common sight patrolling in the North Sea and escorting convoys, so I wanted to make sure there was a good variety of them. The models are still incomplete & need hatches, railings, ancors, & more - just wanted to show some progress.
Next I'll be focusing on textures & details for the existing submarine models, as well as maybe some work on new ones.
LGN1 and GlobalExplorer, I have compressed the texture files - PM me your email addresses if you're interested in working with them. Sorry I took some time to respond.
