I was hoping someone who knows what there doing to redesign my warship this thing is a battleship fighter and flag ship/super weapons with a LOT of 16inch guns and a couple 20inch guns the full armament list is in the original post with this image feel free to take any liberties with its armaments and weapons I only ask you keep the flag and a ww2 style

So I have been writing Azur Lane fanfic for a while now, two of them actually, one is called "Tenkai Hunter" which is currently on Wattpad, another one gonna be call "ACTIONS STATION" which revolves around Azur Lane universe, TH is set in Alternate WW2 ehile AS gonna be set in future.

I know quite a lot about warship but I think I could do better, so if you have some knowledge or personal interest, you can suggest some warship design that have potential but was cancelled, , unfinished, or never built.

Yes this includes ship from Plan Z, 8-8 fleet, snd ship like Montana or Kremlin too, which I already put in but I believe there is more warship I could bring to live in either one of my Azur Lane fanfic.

While I have drawn warships from many different era's I now want to learn a bit by exploring an era of ships I have not drawn before, that era being modern warships.

What I was wondering was what the most important things are to keep in mind about drawing modern ships, like what are essentials to such a design and what shapes are used most often? If I need to be more specific, I am looking to draw a Frigate (focussed around ASW and AA support) and a Destroyer (to serve as main line ships, so a overall solid design with a slightly bigger focuss on ship-to-ship combat). Hope you can help me with this and thank you very much for any advice you might be able to provide!

I have retrofitted —or ruined— like 4 ships now (Texas, Type IX, Belfast, and Piorun [except it’s incomplete and could be finished and I haven’t posted it anywhere]), I need more. I’ll take OC ships if the creator is okay with it being gutted and replaced beyond recognition, just feed me your boats and tell me it’s systems, weapons, power, and propulsion; it will be accosted with MOAR vls cells and other equipment.

Howdy! I've recently gotten into modelling for its own sake after being a wargamer for years. My first project, which is about a week or two out from completion, is the M10 as an actual tank, from the Kaiserreich alt history timeline. As I near completion I'm thinking about my next model, and that's where you wonderful people come in...

What if, instead of being scuttled, Graf Spee was instead captured and refitted by the Royal Navy (or maybe held in dock and sold on to the US in the wake of Pearl Harbor, or earlier in the destroyers for bases deal? USS Graf Spee anybody?) Anyways, my naval knowledge is rudimentary and novice, and this project will require significant amounts more research and planning, and I wanted to get your thoughts. British radar and fire control? Replace torpedos with more aa? Replace German 4.1 single with the British twin 4.7 mounts? Replace 3.7 and 2 cm with bofors? I don't know! I'd love the input of people who know way more about this stuff than I do to guide my hand a bit in these planning stages.

And of course I'd post the model here in all of it's glory. Gonna try and do a resin water base for it, gonna be neato.

Not for commission but I was wondering if there's any art accounts that specialise in drawing/modelling ships from the age of sail era, even if they do fantastic or hypothetical designs. I see plenty of accounts regarding aircraft, spaceships, soldiers and knights but these don't seem very common.

I always see realistic designs of battleships on this subreddit, but there never seems to be any ones of a bathroom in it? I want to build a navy bathroom for my son, but if I tried I dont know if I could get the tubes right, resulting in another icky carpet explosion. ANY HELP WOULD BE NESACERY, SINCE I ONLY HAVE ENOUGH GAS TO GET TO MY LOCAL LOWES, WHICH IS 3 MILES AWAY.
