Just like the title says….http://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2012/06/armored-cruiser-further-details.html anybody up on German Imperial cruiser color schemes? Please advise! |

Depends on the date you're aiming for, but white hull and tan upper works would seem the obvious pick: link Before that (late 1880s to early 1890s I think) there was a gorgeous black and orange scheme; model 2/3 of the way down this page: link Colour interpretation of the "orange" varies wildly, from tan to pumpkin orange; a Google for a ship of the time should yield a few interpretations – sticking SMS Beowulf into Google gets quite a range…. |

Great project. Thanks for the inspiration and updates. |

Dom Skelton,
Wow! Both of those color schemes are great, thanks for the links. As much as I like the white/yellow-ochre, the black/orange color scheme is more appropriate for the period that I am looking at. You weren't kidding about the variation in color for the yellow. After looking at those pictures I am almost ashamed to be posting my model on line. Back to work. Anybody know what I did wrong with the link? Man, I gotta quit posting late at night! |

Punctuation; your…. lead straight into the link and so gets read by the system as part of it – just needs a space between the link url and anything preceding or following it. |

Really an impressive model, great-looking, very interesting, and USEFUL on the tabletop. I can barely wait to see your photos of the finished masterpiece. |

That's pretty striking, all right! |
