Ahoj!
There are 1000+ post threads on the "whodunnit" of WWI on several boards I know ...

And laying the blame on Germany is total excrementum bovinum. For various reasons everybody wanted a war.

Agreed, basicly Everyone was in the wrong.  The Peace they gave Germany wasnt fair honestly either.  Which is why the US didnt sign it and made their own peace with germany.

Like I said... it was just the two biggest kids on the block.
Eventually, the question 'who's stronger' is gonna come up.

When those kinds of things are made worse by the kind of family squabbles that dynastic Europe suffered from, the whole continent was a time bomb.

I can actually empathize a bit with the Kaiser. He thought the way to win Britain over would be to impress her with something she understood. His mindset couldn't conceive that 'impressive' and 'dangerous' went hand and hand where England and naval power were concerned. Likewise, Britain couldn't see the innocent desire that the Kaiser had (in the beginning) to simply form a powerful union of the Germanic dynasties.


The fact that the two most hardheaded, flamboyant members of the Hanoverian dynasty were the ones trying to resolve the situation was definitely not a big help, either.

Just to see how it looks, here's the TR-200 in 4 pix = 1 foot scale. I like the way it turned out, even though I can't get the life boats/launches quite right. I haven't added portholes, anchors or boats yet, but I will soon. What do ya'll think?

Very nice, a huge improvement. (hm i think i need to put a bit more effort into my own drawings...)

Just a tiny bit of nitpicking, make the image a bit longer so we can see the beautiful ass of the ship ;)

But really, really nice :)

Oh, don't get your hopes up... I don't have the time to do that on every ship. :( School and life are just to demanding at the moment. I definitely couldn't go back and redo, say, the Nuevo Leons like that. But I DO have all my guns on that scale now, and will begin doing more ships like that as time allows.

Oh, she's got a really, uninteresting ass, kinda flat and not too nice.
I like round asses myself. ;)

But the small fry without a lot of details... well, I think I can manage doing them at this scale.
Like that new little sloop that I'm planning for patrolling my coasts.

Hm, it is always the first ones that take loads of time and work, after that is is just a matter of cut-and-past from previous drawings ;)

As for the stern, are you certain you cannot give the lady a nice rounded a.., stern? :)

Well, I didn't really account for any overhang in one way or another, and I'm not all that good at shading as of yet. I've gotta find a good freeware program that will do that.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys... in the next 3-5 days, I'm gonna be putting out a new, oddball ship that will also be at this scale. It's gonna be a stunner; it'll be useful and within my tech, but odd.

Glad to see I have a Kindred soul on the other side of the Atlantic.

Oh, you have no idea how odd it'll be... ;)
The project name is 'Practical, SRPC, Study #1.'
Enough clues... the SS is done; time to commence to drawing.
