Really nice, really nice. ...and nice to see you back in this section as well. I would personally try bit larger porthole presentation, but I guess its those matter of taste issues.

Woweee! A true stunner, my friend! Now, however, you have to do the Milwaukee as well! (two funnels...) Though...one nitpick: color the upperworks railings in a similar, but darker tone, compared with the superstructure! Right now that bland grey just distracts and detracts from an otherwise exceptional drawing! Also (no nitpick, however...) didn't she carry any steam launches/ - pinnaces/ -cutters? |

Actually Golly, I believe darthpanda has attempted to depict the upper deck portholes as closed up with shutters. If so, they are perfectly good! |

Yes, they usually had a slot through which a certain amount of light could be had. I know, weird, but this was the Good Ol' Victorian age! These shutters could look different depending on the navy or yard building the ship, but usually they featured two shutter lids, either on the sides, left-right, or, most commonly, above and beneath the porthole. They were square, could be armored (light armor!) and were hinged with two solid heavy-duty hinges on either sides. And, yes, most - but not all of them - had a small semi-circular cut-out where the shutters would meet up with each other. I hope this explains the feature some. |

Nice work! I noticed to light blue slits near the waterline at the height of the aft gun. What are those supposed to be? |

Actually I believe they are scoupers, and, as such should, in all likelihood, not be light blue/green, but black-grey. But i don't have access right now to Friedman's US Cruisers to reference it more properly... |

Very nice! I do agree about the railing color. |
