As submarines are ment to be stealthy, I dont think it should be bright yellow/gold:)
I think for me its a toss between the two grey ones... tho I think i'd go with the "plain" dark grey one.

looks great btw, good job!

The dazzle painted one!!!
Dazzle painting rocks :rock:
Allthough it was very ineffective back in the '30s :)

edit - but make the logo red/gold for a Roman atmosphere ;)

Why should a submarine have some kind of camouflage? - Maybe an ocean-fitting camouflage, with a blue on top, and a lillte lighter grey-blue would be nice too. Just a suggestion.

nice..

looks like a bullet train to me. do you have an interior worked out for it too?

i agree with taff on this one, but the gold one looks nice and flamboyant. So if stealth isn't really a concern .... ;)


can't wait for the update

well just to throw in my two since about this. i think you should try a whale or shark skin look to it. also add a little bumpiness to it. subs are not smooth they have a bump to them the breaks the water on its skin surface so it moves quitely and more easily throught the water.

Yeah, I like the shark idea. Sharks are camoflouged by being lighter on the bottom (so they blend when viewed from below) and darker on top (blend when viewed from above).

that is looking really nice. I think the first one with the shark skin look is probably the best one out of all of them, if there was a runner up I would go with the second one on that page it has a real stealth feel as well. Can't wait to see the interior
