| Post subject: | Unknown's ships replacement |
As indicated by the topic's subject, some of us are working at replacing "unknown" drawings in more up-to-date drawings. Some ships were allready done and here is one more ![[ img ]](http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv51/novice99/DDCavalier1966.png) HMS Cavalier after her refit in 1966 when she got SeaCat missiles, a refit which gave her some 5 to 6 years of active service, before withdrawn in 1972-3 and becoming a museum ship. |

Nice work. One has to wonder why they didn't replace the lifeboat with rafts while they were at it. Anyway, it looks like the SeaCat director is the wrong shade, and the foremost scuttles looks a bit wonky. Personally, I'd make them follow the same line as the deck above them. Also, the hawse (The whole where the anchor chain comes out) should be dark grey. |

Hmm is the upper works same shade as the hull? Otherwise nice addition (its seems to be a happy day for RN today). I would also paint the Funnel's ventilation pipes ordinary grey and make the funnel top free from overlapsing black pixels. Also, is the aft ASW mortar Squid? There should be good version of it in Hood's charts. That one looks like its 'melted'. |

Apart from the above mentioned advise, a welcome addition, and well-done. I did the updated squid on Hoods chart, so I reckon it would look better

The Squid is from Hood's chart. Scuttles are as in the drawing I used for the original HMS Cavalier http://www.shipbucket.com/Real%20Design ... 0class.PNG and http://www.shipbucket.com/Real%20Design ... 201956.PNG Color of the director  my badHull R 189 G 189 B 189 super structure R 198 G 198 B 198 Any way I've made some changes to the ship and replaced the drawing. So, please refresh to see the new image. |

Two complaints: 1. Um... RHIB amidships? 2. 4" (?) director is rather lacking in detail. Is it that formless in real life? Otherwise pretty solid work. |

If this is the "unknown" who did the RN ships, then I've done a bit of work on Nelson already. |
