System Defense Boats and a destroyer on patrol is in the gallery (WIP).

take a look

D'oh! Of course, the CotI Art Board. Silly of me to forget that, good call AD.

far-trader Says: You could also link to your exhibits in the Imperial Museum of Art (Gallery) here on CotI.

To get Hunter's attention you might have to try a public hail in the CotI Website Issues thread if his email is unresponsive. I don't think image posting into Travellogs is enabled but you could upload it to Photobucket.com, ImageShack.com or some other free hosting service and put a link into your blog here.

Also, anyone reading this please tell hunter to read his emails.

If I can figure out how to post an image here I wouls show you my take on the Yarmouth. Picture a star destroyer with a F-15 tail section, sunken missile bays and three raised batteries of laser turrets. The spinal weapon is mounted in the belly as are two more batteries of lasers. That would get you close to what it looks like.

Didn't come across the sketches in the current stuff. I have a recollection of a type-s proportioned wedge rotated 90 deg around the thrust axis with the spinal mount being mounted at a slight downward angle through the hull. It might have been the Yamamoto. I think I was building an actual model of the Yarmouth, a scratch build starting with most of an old Macross SDF-1 and adding some forward swept delta wings from a jet model as the basics. In any case all that was just having some fun after the project went quiet. Use the above for inspiration if you like, but I look forward to seeing your take on them.

I believe they are on the list. What kind of look did you see for both ships. One is done and the other is in the works.

Anyway, whichever bunch of Sol Warships you're working up illos of I look forward to a new TA and your contribution to it. May your harddrive never crash (backup, backup, and backup should be your mantra)

Heh, the files were easy to find, the sketches, that could be trickier. My contributions were the 50Kton Yamamoto Strike Cruiser and the 15Kton Yarmouth Light Cruiser. Be nice to see this finally produced if it is the same one, it was started way back in late '03 or early '04.

Sounds like it might be. I submitted two designs, cruisers in the 10s of Ktons range iirc. One was a Yamamoto class I think, but the second's designation escapes me at the moment. I still have the files here somewhere and some personal concept sketches of them. I'll see if I can dig them up if they interest you.

I do not know. I was handed a brief for the illustrations with no really background info. My guess would be that it is the final work. Did you submit any ships to it? If so, do you remember the names/class/types?

Interesting, but I'm curious. Is this the final work on the old TA of Solomani Warships I had a small part in that was delayed due to Hunter's troubles? Or is that one officially dead for whatever reason and this is an entirely new one?
