HMS Pioneer as of 1900-1914? (I know the masts were substantially added to in sometime after 1912)


HMAS Encounter 1914


HMAS Sydney August 1914


HMAS Sydney 1918


HMAS Melbourne 1913


HMAS Melbourne 1915


HMAS Melbourne 1918



HMAS Australia as of 1913


HMAS Brisbane, Psyche and Adelaide to go

Very nice (that's a bit of understatement really) to see what is relatively unknown part of Australia's naval history so well done

Thanks Graham, I find these ships have been largely forgotten, overshadowed by the ships of the 1910's, shame really considering the service they provided

Great work Rodondo! I look forward to more
By the way, what's the story behind the colour?

Which colour?

The colour of the ship

Ah, I went with a grey with a slight blue hue, looking at paintings of HMAS Encounter of a similar period, the red is a estimate of the antifouling paint

Yeah sorry, the blue hue was what I was referring to. It looks good

Thanks

Looking great!
The offset waterline marking looks interesting. I suppose this served some kind of purpose?
