I absolutely love the shading and colours of your locomotive. Unfortunately, when it comes to the poll, I can only choose one image. Challenge Rule 1 states "each participant must submit a single image" . Do you have a preference? Thank you for the comments, my preference would be to use the ...

Bagnall Barreto 0-6-2T, Superb of 1940 https://i.imgur.com/y1CeHPM.png The last of a series of three Baretto-class 0-6-2 tanks built by W.G.Bagnall for the 2ft6" gauge Bowaters railway system that served the two paper mills at Sittingbourne and Kemsley, alongside the dock at Ridham. Built in 1940 ...

MMS Chittenden, Townend-class Lergo https://i.imgur.com/Op1dg1w.png A relatively basic trawler design built on the outbreak of war in 1914, thrown in under the broad classification of Lergo (Escort). After a prototype ship, 39 more were constructed, becoming the Townend -class. Most were reduced to ...

Nice work, its not often that the French Flower class ships get mentioned. I suspect the French-built ships would have differed in details but the overall design would have been pretty similar I think. Thank you, I imagine being a rather small part of the Marine Nationale's history means they would ...

It's been a while since I last drew or posted, but hopefully that may change in the future. The Marine Nationale's second order of Flower-class corvettes included six ships ordered in French yards alongside the others in British yards. These six ships were to differ in their armament from the ...

Now that not otherwise engaged and able to respond... I was definitely not expecting that, this is only my sixth SB drawing, and while I believe I am improving, I thought that breaking into the top three would be too hopeful on my part! I must echo what Kiwi has said already and commend the efforts ...

Aurora-class Lergo (Escort) These ships were intended to take on some of the roles of previous smaller escort vessels, with better seaworthiness and endurance, which would make them suited to both home water escort duty and foreign station deployments. The need for these ships became more pressing ...

Second of Ten, HMS Essex. Updated the OP with them and new captions accordingly.




If all goes to plan, the next up will be Monmouth and Bedford.

This should have me finished with Kent for now. Minor alterations to the 1910 drawing, while adding the 1914 and an interpretative 1917 drawing to the first post. I would claim I chose to do Kent first since she and Essex were the first ordered, but personal reasons probably played more into that ...

Thanks all for the kind comments! I have updated the 1903 drawing with a fair few minor detail and hull form fixes, and added the 1910 China Station drawing. The rigging I feel is a little under developed and I will probably go over it again at some point. Very nice work Trainspite. The only thing I ...
