Yes, this started as a project to see if I could recreate a RN cruiser for a semi historical scenario I was working on.
I have managed to produce a good representations of the "Town" and the "City" classes (my late uncle served in HMS Gloucester and survived her loss). I am working on a "county" class at the moment. RN heavy cruisers were all very similar in overall apperance, although the stack layout differed. Changing the overall scale of the mesh is not a big problem for static models but If I could find a simple way to adjust the hooks for the bow and stern waves I could reduce the size of the hull for the moving ships and attempt some of the light cruisers, Ajax etc.
I am currently working with and modifying items from within the meshes so it is quite challenging.
I don't know how to add pictures of them to this post as yet (still a bit of a noobie at this I'm afraid) but if someone could give me a clue I would be happy to post them.
I will need advice eventually on how to present them as stand alone items. (I have modified ships from FC's excellent pack at the moment just to try out my ideas).
