Never built US heavy Cruisers

#1 Post by Armoured man »

hello everyone, recently I found myself strolling through the spring styles website, looking for some inspiration when I came across this very interesting Kruse design the I really wanted to draw, anyway without further ado, here is S-584-190 treaty displacement light Cruiser sketch A.

And here is a hypothesized 1945 refit of the same design.

Work list: 1. various pre-1900 Zipang ships 2. Some protected cruisers and other miscellaneous projects

Wow, these are fantastic - the level of detail on your latest drawings has been top-notch, if I didn't know better I would have guessed that this was a Colosseum drawing. :lol: The hull plating really does add some visual interest to the drawing without seeming excessive, IMHO.

Keep up the great work!

Fantastic work!

The hull plating and non standard railings do indeed add interest.
Your riveting work is also excellent and shows your attention to detail.

Nice work indeed!

Yes, I think we need to have a discussion about railings, the old standard railing does seem more out of place now that increased detailing is the norm.
