I think i'll pass this time.

Anyway. "tentative" 1945 Montana finished.

WOW! Just wow!

Good man... perfecting the drawing was a much better use of your time.

"Belowdecks" parts are somewhat interesting, but the scale is too small to really be meaningful and it's not like you can even see stuff that's "belowdecks" in our finalized Shipbucket drawings, which means it just falls into the category of "knob polishing", and everyone knows that gets you nowhere.

Excellent work, nice to see the Montana looking so good, certainly an impressive looking ship and the amount of detail and hard work that's gone into this drawing has paid off.

Yup it's an doomsday machine!

Tentatively finished Montana as of 1941 (preliminar design)

Ship's appearance based and drawn accordingly to the USN offical 1940 model and the 1940-41 plans


Tentatively finished Montana as of 1942 (as ordered)

Ship's appearance based and drawn accordingly to the USN offical late 1941 model, as photographed on november 26th (Pic 2 and Pic 3)


Tentatively finished Montana as of 1943 (final configuration as canceled)

Ship's appearance based and drawn accordingly to the USN official 1943 model as photographed on october 7th 1944.

BB,
Please, post ALL your V.3 versions
I am preparing to send you a "Fucking-Bastard" OVERALL PM comment about the ENTIRE MONTANA design history

1941, 1942 and 1943 are all that I can offer.
The 1948 drawing has still too much areas that needed to be revamped to be posted already, she will come in a couple of day, possibly (Since I will probably not be here until June 2nd afternoon).

A few recommendations:
