It's not quite finished yet, a couple of details need finishing off, and I will be adding flags at some point.
I'm finished for today though and thought I'd let y'all see the drawing. I hope I have done the ship justice...

I'd give some serious attention to those propellers...

Other than that its a jaw-dropping work of art.

those props are from the andrew arthur drawing, IIRC. keep in mind that (especially for the underwater hull) that isn't an perfect source, check others as well. I am also wondering about the asymetric rigging. other then that, I can say already: great work, but she will need a bit more work to be perfect (as the dreadnought should be)

Yes, the underwater hull is pretty much wrong. I have good reference drawings for the above-water bit though. I just stuck the bottom on to 'get a feel' for the drawing so far. I'll have another hunt for underwater hull drawings tomorrow (unless anyone has good refs I could borrow) and probably start again from scratch. And yes, the props look a bit shit right now!

these might be usefull. the best ones I had on my pc (or better said, the ones I could find fast) the last one has the best underwater hull, I think.

Excellent :D And it is hard to beleive that this warship has never been represented here (see folks, there is still a rich seam to be mined ;) )
