Line Drawing Questions

[Carthaginian]

LOL, awesome 'line drawings' Borys.

Even my girlfriend- who's not exactly the most 'historically minded' person- loved them.
Unfortunately, there weren't any American girls up there... wonder what a South Dakota-class would look like when done in that particular 'style.' ;)

Considering how the Japanese seem to view American women stereotypically with um, larger upper works than Japanese women, for some reason I'm seeing U.S.S. Tennessee as a Dolly Parton sized vessel.  Others would be lesser than that, but generally larger than the majority show for the other nations.

Back to the topic.

Some German line drawings - original plans for that matter.

You can usually find a meter-scale on the waterline or at the bottom of the page.

And some French Line Drawings too.

LOL... yeah, I'd figure that the South Dakota's would be rather 'fully packed' (36-24-36... only if she's 5'3" :D) due to their compact design. If the Tennessee would look like Dolly Parton, I think that the Alabama would look more like Mia Hamm (born in Selma, would ya believe it!). ;)


P³D...

Thanks, that's JUST what I was looking for. I've got a good idea for my 12" and 13.5" (biggest worries) BB turrets, and now I just need to collect the measurements for some of the smaller ones. That should get me set!

Ahoj!
This coud be an USN warship - the superstructure and turrets are IMO American style.

I knew of Canis's 'dump' but didn't know the scale of his work. Mow that I have a good idea of about what size my turrets would need to be, I can simply go through and select parts and pieces from his stuff that would fit my needs.

Thanks!

I'm surprised non of the others tought about this.
It's not that most of us don't visit the Warship Project Forum.

No comment on the Manga (what isn't crap).
But the Canis D files are a good source .
