        Thank you everyone, glad you all like her.
        Ken, sounds good! a mother of all battles.
        Dale, fantastic story, I've spent most of the weekend researching. There's quite a lot on youtube. The Bismarck looks formidable although they are similar in size, the names Battleship and Battle-cruiser just about sum it up.

        thank you
        John

          Wow John you've excelled yourself this time. I'm interested in the sea texture and the wake in particular can you explain the process or link to the texture ?

          Now "Sink The Bismarck !" (watched it last week)

                Great movie. Kenneth More, Dana Winter. One of my faves.

                      I'll keep these two together.

                      The Bismarck... I can smell trouble brewing between these two ๐Ÿ˜„ .

                      07.jpg

                      Been working on these two models for almost two weeks now and Sketchup has never once crashed or shown the slightest sign of slowing down, even with both models combined. It seems SU has come on leaps and bounds lately!

                        Bryan, If I e-mailed you the file i would bet it would work just fine on your computer. I'm still using SU8, see no point in upgrading yet.
                        David, think I'll take a break from the ships for a while.

                        Gotcha!

                        I know it was the other way around ๐Ÿ˜„

                          And how does your computer handle this load? Are you using the latest version of SU?

                            Wow! Great battle scene!

                            Yeah, I'm beginning to think I have a bad install. I have all kinds of "glitchy" thing happen and it really slows down my modeling.

                                okay. .. . .now you're just showin' off. ๐Ÿ’š Next you'll tell me you're working on The Prince Eugen?

                                I do Love the render. It really gives the sense of the North Atlantic circa 1941. You should show her with a damaged screw so she can only sail west. That way the planes from the Ark Royal can finish her off.

                                If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                    Really great work! Well done! But pay some attention to color matching on composing stage. Some times foam areas and the sky do not work well with the rest.

                                      rv1974, thank you for the advice. Thought I'd check out some of your renders for tips to help improve my work but strangely there seems to be none in the gallery ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
