Hi Superboy, nice looking drawings. Please, may I ask two question about them (the actual vessel, not the drawing), where (in what sea) are deployed? and if they are «prepared for, but not with» any ssm? Thanks and cheers.

Superboy: while a decent drawing in its own right, I've got a few issues with the actual depiction of the Laemsingha class patrol gun boat, namely (and aside from the already mentioned pennant number): the stem in your submitted photo appears to be far more acutely angled than yours is in the drawing. Are there any side elevations to enable actual, true comparisons? The bow knuckle on the real vessel appears to describe a slight, yet clearly discernible slope; a soft planar "S"-form, whereas yours appears straight from the bow sloping down without this curvature to the boot topping, without continuing as it appears to do in the photo, towards the rear - which leads me to my third, and last remark. This slope appears quite distinctly from the photograph to have a much more pronounced, accentuated knuckle or inward hull slope at the boot topping, tapering as you follow the curvature towards the bow., which would lead me to conclude a sharper edge to show that as well as a darker shading to illustrate the increased depth. Also, your boot topping needs to be thicker.

Ahh...my bad, and plenty of apologies then! Hopefully he'll read the critique then.
