Every source I have seen says the belt was 3 inches thick.

My typo...you're right. It was; in order to create an immunity zone of 18,000 ft against 5"gun fire... Being tired tonight with my youngest in hospital and semi-chaos at home...

I'm tired too, sort of. It's 5:17 here.

A very fine piece of art work Ari.
I do hope your child is better.

The belt clearly looks more subdued now, while retaining a visible relief, so good job.
Hope things get better at home by the way.

Before anyone remarks on it: for some, not too obvious reasons a weird grey streak has appeared along the top rigging of the aft mast. My computer broke yesterday, so cannot fix that immediately, but as soon as I can get to one with an appropriate Program, I'll remove it! Sorry about that!

One thing that might be useful with this class is to display a modified version with the boats and other clutter left off, so we can see what's going on near the stern. While I have no doubt that this drawing is accurate, all the junk back there just turns it into a haze of pixels. I know I can't be the only one here thinking that, either.

If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

@Obsydian Shade: agreed, but please read my previous post.

Well, I was meaning when you get your computer working again. Otherwise, I think the vessel looks very good, and that I prefer your style of shading to Colo's.

What exactly is "my style of shading"?
