Norse Ships

[Walter]

Corrected B turret. While working on the image, I used various bits from Jabba's 1914 HMS Invincible image...but it looked rather squeezed between where I had put the weapons... so I added 35 feet to the ship which opened up the casemate mounts so I added another one in there. Still requires some more details and the MGs as well as shading and probably redo the aft flag a bit but it will give some idea what it would look like.

Very impressive!

Thanks. Picture has been updated with a few more details. I'm quite happy how she turned out, even though by drawing her she became about 1400 tons heavier than when I originally simmed her. :)
