Re: Emergency Vehicle Challenge

Hello, Look likes I got a case of the "what day is it now ?" and cannot do what I originally planned but did do an emergency vehicle set anyway with three vehicles built on the same chassis inspired by the God given Land Cruiser and its rival (?) the Nissan Patrol. https://imgur.com/kLCUQml.png ...

Re: Japanese B-65 Battlecruiser

Yes, Karle, this could have well been the case because a "normal" bow would have meant a step backwards in terms of hydrodynamics. Hajime Fukaya's drawing of the ship did not have a bulbous bow like that of the Yamato-class. And I struggle to remember which American ships have bulbous bows like the ...

Re: Japanese B-65 Battlecruiser

It likely would have used a bulbous bow, more similar to American ships.

Japanese B-65 Battlecruiser

Hello, I've drawn the Imperial Japanese never-were battlecruiser based on the drawings and technical specifications by Hajime Fukaya. The drawing is based on his specifications given in "Warship International" of 1965, so his accuracy (and mine for that matter) might not be completely correct, so if ...

Re: Cold War Self-Propelled Air Defence System Challenge

https://i.imgur.com/rk0Ecuc.png An ambitious design for an anti-aircraft weapon using high-energy laser system. It entered Lyonesse service in 1990, half-baked and rushed due to political meddling. It didn't last long in service, owing to its impressively terrible capability and led to the collapse ...

Re: Ship Shape Wargaming Fashion: WOWS Redesigns

Oh, sorry for not making that understandable. I meant the layout of the turrets is like the Pensacola -class It's not an unconventional layout. The USN wanted a smaller ship with lower displacement, so they decrease armaments, armour, and tries to make as compact ship as possible. This include just ...

Re: Ship Shape Wargaming Fashion: WOWS Redesigns

Very nice work! Personally, I think the design of the Dallas is a little silly: Pensacola-class turrets... with 6-inch guns!? The Dallas have triple 6" turrets from the Brooklyn, St Louis and Cleveland class ships. While it is a little silly regarding its design as it is heavily overloaded, any ...
