Reworked stern and preparation for UV-mapping. The goal being to create real dazzle camo skins (http://www.usndazzle.com/ships.php?category=5&class=2).

WoWS' model's vertical scale doesn't match with plans found on the internet. I don't know which one is correct...

Very nice... can't wait to see the finished model.

Hopefully the start of the means to have the ships, subs & all... being a lot less, resource heavy while still retaining enough detail, to look grand. Thereby, allowing for a more... realistic looking sim that SH3... & moving forward to 4 & if possible, 5 as well. could have been & would. That, at least, is the hope with the work done here.

Hopefully someone who knows & has more... eperience with working with WoWs', conversions will step up, to provide details into the proper methodology to get the dimensions, set to rights.

I'd stick to WoWs ship dimensions. The game is rubbish, but the 3D models department know their stuff.

Probably, but this particular unit (not being a playable unit, but just an element for "decoration") may not have been extremly "polished" and I've found some substantial errors.

Even though it is a bit out of sorts, it still retains useful info. The prop's position, as you noted being just 1 of many.
Which is why I included it in there.

Is a lot of plans like that there... just have to comb through to find the 1 you need though.. even in the short time, of pulling together the minute, bit of info I posted, that 1 there... took a bit of doing as there is sooo much info available there.

@ JapLance : You were right, WoWS' model's main dimensions match almost perfectly with the detailed plan found by Mad Mardigan.

@ Mad Mardigan : Could you see if you can find the plan that you posted in a higher resolution ? I have an outdated navigator and I can't access all websites. I'm very interested by the hull lines, for a nice and realistic hull.
