Gradually my AU projects have once again slowly taken path to the smaller vessels, wich naturally means meddling with the real things, and that usually in my case means redrawing stuff... So I'm going to post some that got to the line this time.

Starting first with the cream, here is Hamina class, of which older drawing predated even myself in the bucket, but despite MConrads older version had served well, it faced the same fate as unfortuanetly many of the older drawings; you start modifying it for facelift, and found out that its actually in wrong propotions alltogether.


what remains is the ordanance, which I couldn't locate in newer forms, and felt them to look mostly what I would have done if I had chosen to redraw the radars and main gun as well....they now have only minor make-up for newer shading techniques. Also, I fixed the camo patter to that of the real thing, and sligthly changed the colors (if only sligthly in tone and uniformality)

my only spot is what looks like a missing pixel in the railings forwards of the bridge. Nice to see the older drawings getting a bit of attention

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

that 57mm, it looks slightly different from what we use now.....
could you upload it separately in basic grey? it looks good, but I am a bit wondering what you did to it

And then here is Missile craft Isku:



Still, no underwater hull, since I couldn't locate any references for it (it would be few pixels worth anyway, but...). Also, Once I get good pictures of its camoflage scheme, I migth return to the looks.
Noteworthy is that I redrew the KT-97 launchers, since neither the one's I drew before or what Ewsube did seemed to fit the plan view I was working with. Also, AK-230 comes now in new and improved guise.

Rodondo: The "missing" pixel is intentionally there to mark the seperation of the railing and the ladder that comes close by (but are not adjoining structures)
Ace: the 57mm is the same one MConrad drew for the orginal Hamina drawing, so I presume it must be out there in the old part sheets as well. I only recolored it.

here is the parts that shows above the bulwark but I have no idea what MConrads intented underneath...

Nice work, the Isku though is one ugly boat!

I think I have found it, seems like there was an gun drawing I knew existed but never thought off......

it was in the renewal of the parts sheet thread.

well calling it a boat would be too much of compliment, since its basicly a flatbottomed landing craft utility fitted with Soviet M502 diesels giving it respectable 15 knot speed... and one can just imagine how much wave such thing produces when driving full speed. In Finnish navy, its most military value was said to be in amusing the enemy to death.

Ace: Yeah, thats a sheet I made that I myself had forgotten.

Nice work, though I can't say I like the new AK-230 - looks too boxy to me.
