Ok, that's better IMO.
Here's something that might be helpful.

Creating glass in Microsoft Paint is a bit more difficult, but we can still make it look good without having to make the glass opaque. In order to show items behind the glass, we will need a selection of blues in varying brightness. If you've already detailed the interior view through the window, you just need to draw over the outlines of the furniture and objects inside the window frame with a darker blue color. Once you've filled your objects, fill the rest of the window with a lighter blue, and a highlight can be added over the top. In the example images, you can see the blue palette used to fill the glass.

Obviously in SB it shouldn't be used on windows but on transparent railings only.

much better. now 3 things: fix all this on your other ship, maybe search for underwater hulls, and on the stern, 1 deck above the flag, the outline should be black, as there is no railing over there.

I also still miss some lifebouys, firefighting equipment and lamp posts on the boat deck and upper decks.

MS Selandia.png
Possibly one of the most important ships ever build, M/S Selandia was the very first diesel powered ship build ever.
Build in 1912 at Burmeister & Wain in Copenhagen for the Lauritzen Line. During her maiden voyage she crossed 22,000 miles of ocean without any major breakdowns. She sailed for the Lauritzen Line for 25 years before she was sold to a French company. She was sunk of Japan in 1943.
The ship, MS Selandia was built in 1912, as the FIRST ocean going motor vessel. She was built for the Danish East Asiatic (Ostasiatiske Kompagni) as part of a class of 5 ships, of which one Fionia was sold to Hamburg Amerika line (HAPAG), and in to honor her Danish origin was named Christian X, after the king of Danemark at that time.
Selandia herself was never a part of the Lauritzen Line. In 1936 she was sold out of the EAC fleet to Norway and later Finland (1940) and renamed Tornator. As Tornator she was chartered by a Japanese company she sunk after stranding off Omaisaki bay, between Nagoya and Yokohama.
The drawing itself is of excellent quality Thiel, but the hull colors are wrong, as East Asiatic Company ships, which carried passengers were grey with red boot-topping. Cargo ships were black with white line at shelter-deck level. I also believe that she naver carried sails.
Ah yes, sorry about the history fail back there. I was using a public terminal and didn't have my books available, so I was going by memory alone.
As for the colours, you're probably right about the grey part. The picture came out of a forty year old book so some of the colours might have deteriorated. Having seen a painting of selandia though, I'm certain about the green. At least in the early years.

MS Finnmarken Updaded.

No Visible fire equipment on the deck of these boats, because the weather in Norway can be so bad that they can be torn right off the boat. A few years ago it happened with a lifeboat on a freighter in Norway! so all equipment is stored in boxes that are welded to the deck or in the cabinets!?

Currently, work list, when I'm done with these boats, I will take the old boats from the same company. If I'm ready for it: http://www.surup.de/Nordkap_2007CA/Nord ... eaijpg.jpg

This boat has served continuously for something like 120 years and the only difference between then and now is that it's been converted to oil instead of coal.

Something of an older vintage.

I'll post some more info later.
