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

Very nice (that's a bit of understatement really) to see what is relatively unknown part of Australia's naval history so well done

Graham

Thanks Graham, I find these ships have been largely forgotten, overshadowed by the ships of the 1910's, shame really considering the service they provided

Great work Rodondo! I look forward to more
By the way, what's the story behind the colour?

The colour of the ship

Ah, I went with a grey with a slight blue hue, looking at paintings of HMAS Encounter of a similar period, the red is a estimate of the antifouling paint

Yeah sorry, the blue hue was what I was referring to. It looks good

Looking great!
The offset waterline marking looks interesting. I suppose this served some kind of purpose?
