Hey DP,

Will you be doing the other PC Sloops disguised as Q-Ships, and the other 'Flower' classes, Acacia, Azalea, Arabis, and the Aubretia type Q ships, and the 24 class?

Excellent drawing! I'd join comment she has a weird -but smooth beautiful look. Would be neat to see Q-ships too!) I am going to draw some sailing Q-ships in FD/AM in future))

Breathtaking work as usual DP.

I actually tried drawing sloops of the Flower class but decided to postpone it due to lack of quality references. I've got quite some info on these ships and even a 2/3 finished SB drawing of the Arabis sub-class. Speaking of quality references, they do exist: I was able to find technical drawings in a couple of British museums, alas not digitized thus unobtainable for me since I can't just go to London or Greenwich. Feel free to PM me if interested.

And, of course, the P-class drawing is outstanding
