We’re in the final stretch. It’s that phase of development where you’re not even sure what to do anymore, you’re just running around tweaking every little thing, critiquing things that don’t need it (particularly colors). It’s a bit frustrating but it’s also nice to see the Hipper so close to completion after two other failed hulls.

Well … two that I distinctly remember.

It’s been a long journey.

Hot on Hipper’s heels is the Type 34 destroyer I’ve also been chipping away at in my spare time. I’ll post more on that when the Hipper’s finished. It should be sometime next week. By then I’ll be getting footage for a preview video.

The Admiral Hipper is nearly done–I’ll update the progress bar tomorrow. That means I’ve got to figure out how I want to handle the fighter complement as well as what constitutes ‘standard features’ of a Hipper class ship in the Kaiser faction.

As for the title of this post, I also want to take the opportunity to make a preview video, kind of like I did for an older version of the Prinz Heinrich. That wasn’t a very big ship, though, so this could be difficult. In fact I might just have to make it more cinematic instead of giving a tour of the entire ship.

Could be fun, but either way, that’s something I want to make major progress on next week.
