Fourth update in my long running rework of my 'Ill-Repute' Class destroyer I made several years ago (original: www.deviantart.com/spm1082/art… )

Realized it had been a while since I last posted an update here, and thought it was time for another since I'm getting close to wrapping this project up. This iteration is technically a bit old since I rendered it the other week and have made a few changes since, but I messed with the scene settings and don't want to set the lighting up again. I digress; the model is pretty much done spare for a few bits I still have to take care of, and I'm actively working on a dedicated shot of this guy in action. I would like to eventually pursue an animation project but it may be beyond my skill level.

Since the previous update:

-Moved the waterline up a meter or so, was sitting way to high in the water I was using as a reference (last post for direct comparison: www.deviantart.com/spm1082/art… )
-Added decals/identification, port/starboard recognition
-Paint is now "Tashkent Blue" (because grey is boring)
-Added several bits and bobs to the bow, more so to the stern and a few paravanes for good measure
-Expanded the rear superstructure overhangs to more closely match my original model
-Scaled up the turrets slightly
-Beveled the hull edges, changed the shape of the lower deck so it was more rounded
-(Not shown here but) Added some clutter to the Bridge roof, modeled some internal space around the funnel
-Got the vessel set to an accurate size, she currently sits at 138.7m long

I have a preview of the final scene I'm working on as well, will probably post it tomorrow
