CV-34 Oriskany

#1 Post by Portsmouth Bill »

I'm opening this topic to ensure I finish this project. So, the story so far: I'm reworking my original AU Essex I did for the Coffee War, as the quickest way to get the original (and lets face it the very best of the Essex class) onto the archive. Before any comments - yes, its is very much WIP, so please bear with me as this is a slow burn project that I will need to rework considerably to get a decent likeness. I can continue unassisted on the ship itself, but I will ask for help in two areas: the Air Wing circa 1974, plus a decent ships crest, and for the latter I'm either going to attempt it myself or (hopefull) Kim will feel inspired to produce one of his surelative renditions. So here we are:

Well,thank's mate for the encouragement, but in some ways it would have been best to begin from scratch; meaning, what I thought was an easy job has resulted in a lot of changes. That said, this has to be one of the worlds greatest warships, and I will do my best to respect that :)

Bill, something I noticed when I was working on yours was I think the flight deck aft of the Island is a pixel or two off... unless you have already fixed it.
