Wait, seriously!?

I'm certain he meant to say he and not me
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error

Good effort trap one.The shading on the A and B turrets should be reversed as you have shaded the hull and superstructure.With a bit of tidying up this could make a good drawing.Keep at it. 8-)

Progress is good. This is starting to look even better.

Yes, Tornado is my alter-ego over at What-If Modellers.

It's hard to make a fully functioning warship from a design sketch.Have a look at this.If you look at how Portsmouth Bill has drawn this you will pick up good hints and tips. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1088&start=30

Updated and I think a good representation of the drawing that was published in "Vanguard to Trident". Anything else is just me speculating.

Sorry haven't seen any post other than the 3 pixels under the life raft posts.
As for the shading under the single black line around the top of the Bridge. I was just going with the poor drawing that showed heavy shading in this area. Almost as if there is a small over hang in these areas, but it didn't appear to be a major one so I followed the guidelines here.
