[WIP] Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod - Page 84

Hitman · 02-14-15, 01:50 PM

Speaking of 3d stuff, I placed here the models I kitbashed for the defunct JMFM mod:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/9mt...x9l/SH4_Models

Maybe some of it is of interest to you IABL, because IIRC those were old WW1 ships bought by the japanese after the war ended.

I also opened a thread in the main forum so that anyone interested in them for PTO can get them.

I haven't forgotten the images Mate. I just got home from a big job.

Will be.

Yes at this point, SH4 is our best version for a complex mod such as this..tho SH3 remains very good as well with the right environmental mods.

great to see the progress is continuing here.

Thanks; the models will be appreciated. Adm Von Gerlach, check your PM.

In other news, Sailor Steve generously provided a list of common maritime patrol planes and seaplanes - I have spent some time tracking down profile images of them, starting with the Central Powers faction's aircraft. Quite a project in and of itself.

Hello creator of (virtual) worlds,

looking at my own (long) list of projects started but never finished I just think a WWI project does not need to include too much air traffic ...
What you are trying is anyway something really big, especially considering you work alone.

In case, you think some of the stuff I did (well, not so much WWI mterial in that, except for some cannons) could be useful, feel free using it.

Something completely different (I guess, I asked before), do you or anybody else know of any proper general and faired lines plans of R class (1916) and S class (1917) destroyers?

Cheers -- the Frog

I have profile and overhead views of both classes. I will send them to you...not necessarily for those exact years, but they are of the correct (WWI) classes.

Regarding faired lines, I have noticed that many destroyers of the time period were very "slab-sided" amidships, with little smoothing. Unfortunately, I do not have any plans showing exactly how the transverse hull sections would have looked.

On January 3rd I promised that research had started on at least one major liner; I finally started the modeling process. Here is what the model looked like last week:

Bow View:

Fixtures for above the aft deckhouse, where the 2nd Class cabins were located:

The model as of this evening: still a tremendous amount to do, and many errors to correct. Not too pleased with my anchor indentation - it needs to be revised. Apparently it was modified before the ship was lost (or maybe some of my sources are wrong?) I will be buying more material in the near future to ensure better detailing.

Some parts are "placeholders" until more detailed versions are completed, like the funnels and masts...

Most windows will have glass, instead of being part of the .dds file:

Can tell by the ventilation shafts that's one of the Cunard ships you're making. More specifically one of Cunard's speedy duo. Can't tell if it's the Mauritania or Lusitania though as the Lucy in every image I've seen only had the barrel ventilation shafts and not the horn shafts.

You've got it.

Some time before her loss in 1915, "Lusitania" was given a few traditional curved ventilation shafts, along with the well known "trash can" style. As far as I know there were two large ones near the wheelhouse, and another large pair astern. A few small ones were towards the back of the ship. You can just make them out in the painting below.

Admiral Halsey · 03-03-15, 01:47 PM

Oh yeah forgot about that. Also thanks for reminding me what a damn good artist Ken Marschall is.

ReallyDedPoet · 03-03-15, 02:00 PM

Nice stuff

No worries for the years, they just refer to the class designation (there were R and S classes also in the 1940s). Any plan is actually welcome. Thanks.

Slab-sided amidship sections were common features also in later hull designs, including the hulls of the J and follow up classes

.
And, just a wild guess, the hulls of R and S classes were probably not so different from the V&W hulls.

Yes, he is. A good artist captures your emotions. When I was young, this painting always bothered me - if you look closely, you can see children running for their lives...

Frog, here are the pictures you wanted:

IMO, the S class is probably the most outlandish British destroyer design ever ...
