Re: Germany - Admiral Hipper class Heavy Cruiser
I personally like the new colour. Are we allowed to follow suit with our Kriegsmarine and Kaiserliche Marine ships?

Great work, DG! Looking forward to the 'never-built' Hippers!

Re: Germany - Admiral Hipper class Heavy Cruiser
Okay, once again thanks for the comments.
@Colombamike:
Thank you for pointing out those issues, those photos you added will certainly help, I'll make the changes when I have the time.
A couple of questions:
-I can try to add something like camo-nets, but I don't really have a reference on how exactly those were originally deployed. The photos only show the ship in the damaged state.
-You marked the radar platform on the second mast, I assume you disagree with the shape/form?
-You also marked the barrels on the upper 40mm flak. Is this only about the barrel elevation?
-The comment about 'house camo' on the 3m-Rangefinder house: The photo shows camoflage pattern, yes, but isn't this the front view? There doesn't seem to be camo on the side.

This has been a remarkable series! Excellent work on some of the most beautiful cruisers ever built!

I agree with you, draw camouflage is very hardDG_Alpha wrote:I can try to add something like camo-nets, but I don't really have a reference on how exactly those were originally deployed. The photos only show the ship in the damaged state.
but sometimes some are very "courageous"
Hmmm, maybe, but forget itDG_Alpha wrote:You marked the radar platform on the second mast, I assume you disagree with the shape/form?
Sometimes I'm too extreme/meticulous.

Look here various critics about detailsDG_Alpha wrote:The comment about 'house camo' on the 3m-Rangefinder house: The photo shows camoflage pattern, yes, but isn't this the front view? There doesn't seem to be camo on the side.
Your drawing lack maybe others very small details such as ladders, life-rafts & portholes, but I am not a Expert in German ships
But good work, your drawing is "remarquable"
Re: Germany - Admiral Hipper class Heavy Cruiser
Hi, it is my first time here. Some postwar photos further clarify the 'house-camo' pattern of both sides, in particular FOUR windows on the starboard side of the stack and one further window depicted on the 3-meter Rangefinder house.
