Very nice drawings.

Congrats BB1987!

I've been waiting so (im)patiently for the scores to be released. Thanks to the judges for the scoring and the feedback. Cannot wait for the next challenge!

I would like to make a few statements about this challenge:

• There were 26 entries over the 45 days the challenge was open, and I am glad for each and every one of them (entries).
• As is noted in comments by both Erik and myself, even the lowest scoring drawings would have been fine additions in the 2008-2010 time frame. This is simply an indication of how Shipbucket has evolved as an art form over the last decade.
• Unlike challenges from long ago (NATO ASW and Tartar DEG come to mind) we didn't have anyone try and fit the combat systems from a 10k ton cruiser on a 5k ton hull. Kudos to everyone for that.
• Those designs that scored 78 and above were, in my opinion, all excellent and picking between them was, to a certain degree, an matter of opinion, and not something that is easy to quantify.
• Full Destroyers and Cruiser-Destroyers can be a lot of fun, but I'd like to give a shout-out to Superboy, Charguizard, Gollevainen, & whitey_nl for doing something smaller. It's not easy when you limit yourself, and all four entries were top notch.
• Novice and Muscatatuck produced what were the most interesting and unique designs in the challenge, and I think that should be noted as well.

Congrats to BB1987


I didn't except anything, since I just pulled something from my archive, points on the drawing have been noted for future projects!

I was hoping there was an drawing that was unique, that would top the list, but making there own variant of something that was build, does also help

Well done everyone!

Congratulations to BB1987 and the other entrants and many thanks to the judges for the feedback. Speaking of which...I wonder if I could trouble the latter with a few questions, in an effort to improve my efforts.

1. It seems I've been working to an outdated style. Portholes are now 1-3-1 rather than the old 2-4-4-2, correct? And are there any other major stylistic issues I fell foul of?

2. Shigure: you disliked my green hull...was it the concept, or the shade I used?

Sorry to be bugging you guys for more, but understanding where I'm going wrong is really useful to me!
