I'm going back through and redesigning the carrier from almost scratch, going through what exactly it needs and its roles. The elevators aren't necessarily armored, simply enclosed/covered. Most combat ships today are built with what? 2 inch steel plate? Power plant could easily be a liquid fuel fis...
I'd like to try to fix it... 1: Why will it sink? Too top heavy, not enough draft? it has the same draft and freeboard as the Gerald Ford. 2: Was never meant to be a stealth ship by design. 3: No specific reasoning? 4: 2 starboard side twin-arm launchers, probably 3 on the port, 3 point defense cann...
I'm working on building the model right now, and 1:700 scale .50 caliber machine guns are extremely tiny and easy to lose. The surprising thing about this model, is the option to have the primary and secondary battery barrels elevate not just the usual transverse motions that are standard on these m...

I'm not sure if anyone has...
I've been toying with and half-completing various things to make in Shipbucket style/scale, though I was inspired to create this for a campaign I run for some friends upon recommendation from SpamBot454. I present the Amazonian Surface Carrier, 5th Generation. Despite being a space-based political e...
I'm also wondering of color/paint as well as hull design. Were there standard designs/conventions, or was it up to the designer and time built. Looking at some information, it seems that they were built in bursts, as needed for wars and battles. Is there even enough evidence remaining to find any co...
Sorry, I was busy with school and homework earlier. I worked on the ship just now and did some of your suggestions bezobrazov. I moved the sail forward, made it 25 oars (13 upper, 12 lower), changed the bow slightly, redid the stern. I looked online and couldn't find any examples of phoenician birem...
