Ian, thank you for the photos supplied. As I'm writing this, I've not yet had an opportunity to study them in detail. I've tried to search by their numbers and I did get a lot, but, you may have a different way though. Anyhow I'm grateful that you took time doing it. I'm obviously not taking this as ...

So, based on the exchange of remarks about this class in Ian's (Colosseum) thread, and the excellent picture he provided, which I've not been able to find elsewhere, I decided to go back to my drawings and update them. I ended up scrapping the catapult as well as the boat crane and aircraft crane ...

Ian, thank for that blow-up. I tried but it got granulated or pixelated doing so (of course, I probably don't have any of your sophisticated software tools! 8-) Anyway, you're right, though this feature is one of the hardest to actually spot on these ships, due to the qualities of the preserved ...

Good remarks. With regards to the triangular shape on the side of the cat. towers, you're right, and I misinterpreted the various photos.

Working links!

You did not step on any toes. I merely voiced a longing - a dream or ambition, whatever one may call it. I'd solve a few issues differently (as I've done in my prewar drawings) but to bring those up, I think would be a rather petty thing to do. Overall, your drawing is impressive, as always, and you ...

Excellent drawing. Was planning on drawing this version, but real life intervened. As soon as I get time, I'll re-link the missing drawings. O did actually forget about it, considering all the other things I've on my mind...

Krakatoa, just saw your totally awesome t-shirt! Cracked me up! So frickin' cool! Now, I'm sure "Mrs Bezobrazov" (Wonder how she's liking that name!?!) can mellow down to such a gesture of affection. THANK YOU!!! ... which brings me to ask: where could I possibly get that shirt!?! (Oh, and not to ...
