I'd ad the crane to gollys list. And if you can do something about all the overlapping black pixels on the catapult that would be great.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error

Looks good, and if I may ask for one of those as completed with torpedo tubes?
A later ship with the King's board improvements of AA (8X5"/25 and 0.5" machine guns), is hopefully on the ways?
Any way a great work of art.

hoping to see them completed sooner than later. And my compliments go to Brockpaine as well, naturally for his work on these ships.

These ships have served me well many times on Battlestations Midway and Battlestations Pacific. Shame they haven't got the torpedo firing ability of the IJN heavy cruisers but they seem to survive much longer in straight up gunfights.

Excellent collabarative effort gentlemen, and a most handsome ship. I am loathe to offer any critique, and certainly not for the current drawing; its simply why is it we need two drawings that appear identical, apart from the name on the stern and a personal ensign? My view is that the rendering of another ship of the same class is always to show significant diferences in actual build, or a later modernisation and/or camouflage scheme. This isn't (as far as I know) a 'rule', but a suggestion :)
