Saga of the Rhino Smote
Hi Carl,
Nice to see the Rhino Smote do their thing..., One of the main attractions of this genre of ship is the armaments clutter. It's from a totally different time and before the realities that the Battle of Jutland brought. One last item; the Frenchy, she looks a comer..., +Gil |

Carl, it looks like you're really comfortable with Rhino now - why not try for the underwater hull? It's not *that* difficult, I know you can do it!
here's Redoutable as a teaser Cheers, Oliver |

Hey Oliver. I've thought about that but I'm really not a full hull person. I've considered doing it for the folks that are but I am leaning away from doing it. I don't see that it is de rigeur for ship kits since there are lots of examples of both types out there. We'll see how I feel towards the end. It would not be that difficult to model.

That's definitely true, Carl, and many people prefer the waterline look because it mirrors what you would see in real life. If seen with a full hull, the proportions of many ships can even look decidedly odd.
Nonethelesss, so many interesting things are happening below the waterline that I always prefer the option to also build the underwater hull. Perhaps you'll offer it as an after-market part? Cheers, Oliver |

I've been busy with lots of design things that I have not shown. I'm still weeks away from risking contact with cardstock and knife however. Anyway, here is the 3D model of the 13.86cm gun. I'll bet people are looking forward to the approximately 30 parts it will take to assemble!! Good thing that there are only two. Maybe Ted will do a beta of the gun for me when I have the energy to finish the painted file.

It's beautiful, Carl! I hope your arm recovers soon so that you can begin turning these superb graphics into an actual ship.

Thanks for the hopeful thought, Don!
Here's another shot of things... just because. Carl |

Excellent!
What are the covered chutes along the hull? Scuttles? Scuppers? Don |
