Re: Early RAN Cruisers
Hmmmm.... HMAS Melbourne in dazzle camo in 1913, and with a Sopwith Pub(?) on her foc'sle? 
I don't think so, my dear friend 'Bruce'!

Re: Early RAN Cruisers
Wonderful drawing, indeed.
As bezobrazov already pointed out, I assume the ship is depicted as of 1918?

Was hoping the dazzle would distract you lot from that error which I realised to my horror last night :p I'll fix it when I get home tonight then

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Re: Early RAN Cruisers
That's fixed, HMAS Melbourne was actually a time travel ship, afterwards it made the hop into the future to grab a nuclear reactor and SAM's and won the battle of Jutland with it's new Exocets, attack helis and Lasers 
Big shout out to Nigel who found a great image of Melbourne in this scheme which I didn't know existed.

Re: Early RAN Cruisers
No problem Rodondo,
Always happy to help.
Melbourne looks great in that scheme. Only question I have is if Melbourne would have had the aircraft in 1915?

Re: Early RAN Cruisers
Yes, true, this is probably 1917 on reflection
