Hi, JSB:
Yes, it is feasible to put all the cruisers of the challenge in one sheet, but without the coat of arms and without the technicals specs. Cheers.

congratulations to everybody

I had some ideas, but I never got happy with any of them and they wouldn't work

Yes, I'd like to see the comments for each compiled into a chart in the first post. A big chart of each entry would be nice too. @shigure?

Here you go, the link the the judging sheet. It'll be in the first post too.

Boys, I've spotted something off. Reginald/Regia gave 42 points to Rowdy's Romana Class cruiser, but in the totals sheet there is a 25 instead. He should get a total of 197 points, not 180.

Wow, with competition this strong, I wasn't sure, that I'd make it.
And looking at the scores it was indeed a very tight 'match'.

So, thank you very very much guys!

And well done to everyone who has participated. It was fun!

This is my Brasil heavy cruiser redone after I read the critics:




This is how she looks after her 1944 refit in USA:

Already looking better, although the hull shading is still a bit wonky: The upper part of the above water hull shouldn't be a lighter tone unless it is completely vertical over that entire stretch.

As a further addition, might I suggest using single pixel portholes like Colo does in his new cruiser drawings? They more accurately depict the real size of portholes.

I agree the shading is better my questions would be,

1- why so much light AA on the first one (what's the date?)
2- would a float plane not be better on the earlier one?
3- why raise up the DP guns
4- what is the director (DP?) behind the front funnel doing would its arcs not be very limited and covered by the other two directors anyway? I would remove or place to the side in diamond?

The date is 1935 and the ship is in a Third World country to counter the Argentinian Admiral Brown heavy cruiser. In all Argentinian Navy there was only three floatplanes able to reconaissance duties. In the Brazilian Navy there was only one one torpedo bomber squadron able to coastal duties.

To give her a better arch of fire.

They are there to supplement the 5' guns. You have four anti aircraft directors covering 360°.
