What's a better way to start off your new account than by remaking a ship you made 4 years ago, around when you first started posting in DeviantArt. Dark times.
I was not completely familiar with naval architecture, leading to poor weapon choices, ugly superstructure, etc.
Main inspiration, considering that the original's was hardly used in the remake, is the Admiral Hipper-class of heavy cruisers, with a mix of some paper German battleship designs taken from World of Warships in regards to the secondary armaments.
Also I've uploaded the model to sketchfab, should be in the album unless I'm an idiot
Here's the DA Link if you want more details. http://fav.me/de3wskl
