Louhi

This is a first "joint-project" Ive been involved with some other artist. Orginally Sebu begun the drawing of the lastest Finnish warship, the Multipurpose ship Louhi (999), after which He presented the WiP to me to be finished, which after about a year

I finaly managed to do.

Louhi is basicly a new pollution controll ship, operated jointly by the finnish enveriomental officals and the navy, and its chief purpose is to clear up shores and seas after the evidable oil splis after the heavy oil trafic has been increased in Gulf of Finland thanks to the Koivisto (Primorye) oil-harbour in Russian side of the border. She is also capable to function in various support and auxillary purposes for the navy, and as research vessel and even has minerails for the holy minelaying task of finnish navy.

The drawing is directional in some aspects, as despite quite good media coverage, no one has yet managed to take a proper side wiev of it from the portside and the scetches around there have been bit shaky. I will naturally return to improve this once better reference pop's by

Looks fine!, I'm a bit confused by the bow thruster, I suppose it is not entirely on the thinner section of hull

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

Yea I was bit confused over it as well... but I had to follow the reference drawing in lack of any pictorial evidence of its exact location.

Awesome Golly! It's good to see this finished. Honestly, my contribution for this was quite modest so crediting me here... I don't know if it's necessary, but it's your decision, of cource.
According to Navy it's possible to arm this (in addition to mines) with 2x12,7mm MGs and 40mm gun.

Nice drawing, though I'm not really sold on the shaded window.
