Another personal project. I think the best way to think of this ship is if the Graf Spee and the Jean Bart (in her post-war configuration) had a kid. The high sides and anti-air batteries are more similar to post-war French vessels, whereas the superstructure and arrangements are all inspired by the Graf Spee. The livery is inspired by that of the Bismarck.
AU - Der Ring class battlecruisers consists of four ships named after the operas that comprise Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen: Das Rheingold, Siegfried, Walkuere and Goetterdaemmerung.
Enjoy!

How come its white? (that looks amazing btw)
Regarding the colour, I notice the paintwork for many german ships during the interwar period is significantly lighter in shade than those if other nations, such as Japan.
I'm not that good at replicating camouflags so I ended up using a simplified version of the Bismarcks for the hull, but a plain interwar livery for the superstructure.
As we don't really have any intermeduate shade of grey between stone bricks and quartz, I thought quartz would give the ships a cleaner look that drab grey all over.
As you can guess, the number of Japanese ships I've built has left quite the imprint on my brain :P
