Wow...at the scale you are using your art talents will be put to the test. Are you planning on just using these profiles for detail screen, and TAs for combat screens?

I don’t see the problem here, this is not so hard and doesn’t require any special skills. Scale is forgiving and let things go faster… one of the reasons I’ve abandoned 275:68 scale.

and yes.. these are only for detail screen...

Hehe, thanks Ron. I'm hoping to get as much done for this mod while I wait for Mike Wood to finish up his end of War Plan Orange, and then I have to get back in the nitty gritty of that again.

Status: offline 		Not really a camo, but I figure some of the Brit ships need touching up. Here is the KGV, after deployment to the Pacific in 1944 with a sort of camo scheme, new radars, quad pom poms on the turrets, and catapult removed.



Im going to attempt to do one of Princ eof Wales, as she appeared on December 11, 1941 in a wierd blue and green camo.

Excellent work guys.................

no offence taken its all under control
I'am working hand in hand with Don each day and it looks like there will be at least 5-6 sets of ship icons released when mod comes out so players have a lots to choose from. Don has a lot of requests for this to take place plus I have a number of happy campers who want a full set of the icons that I'am doing - Overkill - sure is but you can only use one at a time up to players which one. I think an installer (multi choice) will be created
1.standard matrix haze grey the ships that Don has created
2.TankerAce's icons normal
3.TankerAce's cameos (which are great and historical)
4.a shils only set (cameo)
5.My set
6.3d shils when done
you have at least 3 others working on aircraft so most likely will have a number sets released
and in answer to TankerAce I'am not following any particular scheme just using gradients
and patterns available in PSpro and Photoshop - not historic I know
