Love both the drawings and the details on the ships career during those periods which it is depicted, really adds a nice touch that I wish all drawings would have. Just a shame such nice info is 'lost' when uploaded to the archive given the lack of options on the main site to have information go with a drawing.

These drawing (if I haven't said it already!) are absofaboulofantastincredible work! Now, I need to ask you, has the Gneisenau been drawn yet? If not, I'd sure order from you the 1940/41 version (when carrying the flags of Admirals Marschall and Lutjens!) - Please draw that! I think only you can do her and the Scharnhorst true justice!

Thanks to everyone for the comments!

Scharnhorst is alread drawn:

Gneisenau exists only in the planned 1943 reconstruction:

If the original artists would allow it, I would try to update them... at some point.

I drew Scharnhorst back in 2008... you have my "permission" to update it to your heart's content. ;)

German ships may have had relatively short lives but they sure went through a lot of changes. You are a braver man than I for tackling these ships.
