Title: Ruckdog's Finished Prussians
Post by: Ruckdog on January 08, 2015, 10:17:32 am

As I complete my new Prussian reinforcements, I figured I would post the results here. The first one up is my recently finished battle cruiser, the SMS Von Der Tann, BC-24:

Looking great, as always. I need to pick up the FSA battlecruiser...

Dig the red/rust color on the turret tops.

Thanks! My Prussians are using a scheme based off the Spartan studio scheme and the historical WWII-era "Baltic" cammo that German ships used. The red turret-tops were an aerial identification feature; different ships could use different colors, including yellow and dark grey. Here is a picture of the DKM Scharnhorst with red turret tops that shows an example of what I am referring to:

I guess you could say that they're "Carrot Tops".  Or something along the lines of the SMS Ginger Gneisenau.

Very nice!  The deail and shading are great.

Just got the rest of the Prussians I was working on finished. Here is the group shot, which includes the first BC I finished earlier:

I'm especially happy with how my Sturmbringer sub came out:

Here are the support cruisers:

Good looking ships as always, Ruckdog. I hope I can do as well on my FSA Boston sub as you have done on that St

Thanks for the praise, guys!

@Landlubber: The water effects weren't too hard to paint, but it is a bit hard to describe without pictures. I'll see what I can do about putting a tutorial together ;).

Okay! Here is that tutorial I promised:

There was so much detail under the flight deck, I decided to magnetize it so that it could be removed to show all that detail off:
