Alternative History Ship Sides

Post by GaryChildress »

Here's a compiled collection of Alternative History ship sides for those who like cool looking Alternative History warships. [8D]

In the top left are some of Big B's excellent IJN CLs (more kudos for Big B [&o][&o][&o]) refitted with 3.9 inch DP guns. Of course those are easy modifications.

The "Major Refit CL" is what some of the IJN CLs might look like after a major overhaul, including 3.9 inch DP guns and re-boilering.

Some of these will be featured in the mod I'm working on (if I ever complete it [X(] )

Finally a G-3 I actually like. I did a little adlibing here. The drawing this is based upon just doesn't do the ships justice.

Not sure. It's from an alternative warship design site which is written in God knows what language so I'm not sure what to call the ship. It looks about the size of a CVL, the deck looks a lot like Ryujo from overhead. I just liked the design so I went ahead and did a side for it.

I'm sure Cobra or fremen have done versions. I may give it a go, however, just for fun, although carriers are not my strong suit. I think I'm better with BBs and cruisers than with carriers. [:o]

Don't worry about that; it's enough that YOU like them...

But lots of us do.
