Yeah, I know.


Messed with the drawing and modified a few things, did a couple other nips and tucks. Of note: Prop shaft and rail height, fixed gray/black outlines and a few other tweaks. Tried the "standard" window blue for the ports. They darned near vanished.

for the prop shaft: you have an 2 and 4 pixel thick prop shaft now. try 1 and 3?

Current level of tweaks. I really wasn't happy with adding thickness to the prop shaft, it just got too beefy. Straitening the thing did help tremendously (thanks guys)! Also worked over the railings, raising them, whicj lead to modifications to the quick firing guns, plus a few other odds and ends.

It also lead to a time burned on-line looking for more images to help answer other questions I had. One of them was how many levels of wire on the stanchions. That I couldn't answer definitively so, I tested. It really started tearing up deck fittings and didn't do good things for the overall drawing.

If anyone's interested, feel free to play with Bailey!

I think it looks good and that's a fair level of compromise for a small vessel I think, especially the railings issue as these look best.

I'd still go for a three pixel shaft. At the very least I'd put a black outline all the way around the shaft supports.
