Hello,

Had a crack at some newbies (Tide and 'Leander' concept) and some oldies (Hunt and Sandowns) recently - see what you think.

A136 RFA Tidespring - fitted with weapons, although I'm not sure when that's going to happen in real life ...


BAE Systems/Cammell Laird Type 31 Leander concept ... This is based off a ~120m length and about two press photos I could find so it's a rough draft at best That's probably why it looks so weird. Could just be sheer ineptitude ... Hopefully update this when more information comes out from the contractors.


I didn't realise that the Sandown had been redone by DarthPanda so recently, I just thought I'd have a go. Didn't mean to step on any toes.

M110 HMS Ramsey



M33 HMS Brocklesby



Interested to know what you think!

Cheers

Very nice!

The HMS Cattlestock currently sails in formation with our mcm group.
She is from the same Hunt class.
If you want some close up photos just say so, i can make them while in harbour or when we anchor next to each other!

I do see an error already btw. Between the bridge and the reserve diesel behind the bridge is a gap to walk between them.

Very nice work and good to see you back in action.
The Tidespring looks great but I would be tempted to tone down the shadow in the hull cut-outs as right now they look like black blobs.
The Type 31e Leander looks a strange beast (no reflection on your drawing) but at least its moving away from a warmed over River.

Excellent work. Are you planning to do the Norwegian one?

Just in case you haven't seen it yet: http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.ph ... -time.html

These are excellent!

I agree with Hood on the shading - I very rarely go darker than a 30% gray or so on a 0-100 scale.

What happened to the poor Mk 45 (?) on the Type 31?

illustrations of the ships show it with Oto Melara 76mm

The forward thruster of Tidespring is not correct, we have installed a extendable thruster in the bow.

These are quite good drawings, apart from Hood's remark about the Tidespring.
Although I'm no expert on modern warships, by any degree, I think the Type 31 wasn't built yet, so it belongs in the Never Built section of this forum.
