Erzherzog Ferdinand Max class early Dreadnought

A fictional early dreadnought I designed in Rule the Waves, and decided to make a FTD realistic replica of. I do not know if i would consider her complete, and she lacks a full interior (only possessing a semi-interior), however think i should move on to other similar projects. Hopefully this may be the first of many ensuing workshop uploads of such vessels.

While it may not be a replica, I have tagged it as such as I have seen other such realistic ships on the workshop do so, and it does seem to make some kind of sence considering the context. Though, if any of you see any major issue with this, do make sure to inform me as such.

SMS Erzherzog Ferdinand Max was the lead dreadnought battleship of the Erzherzog Ferdinand Max class built for the K.u.K Kriegsmarine at Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino yard, Trieste in the first decade of the 20th century. Laid down in September 1908 and launched in March 1911, she conducted training cruises in the Mediterranean before the outbreak of World War I in mid-1914.
