Wow; these are some of the best ships (if not the best) ever added to Silent Hunter 3. Proportions are good, with lots of small deck features that the original models missed.
I also like that you have the cargo booms positioned correctly for a ship at sea. My pet peeve with merchant ships is that many modelers - even the modelers for professional companies - get this detail wrong....it is a mistake I used to make with my models, until I read testimony from a surviving WWII convoy veteran.
Derricks/booms were usually lashed fully up or fully down when a cargo ship sailed - not poking out in all directions. Leaving them partway down (like many people model) would damage the deckhouse/fixtures in a storm.
Wonderful work, and I look forward to more!
