Shipbucket

Long time lurker who is wondering why it took him so long to sign up.

German born, Australian raised, residing in Perth, WA with the wife and two dogs. Have had a long association / interest with both civilian and naval shipping. Also interested in what-if's and alternate history scenarios. Hope to show you some of my work soon, once I have read the tutorials and gotten my head around the requirements.

Welcome to Shipbucket!

We look forward to seeing your work. Post it at any stage that you might need help with. There are plenty of others here who would be happy to help.

+1 to what Krakatoa said, and welcome!

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

Good another sandgroper !! now that winter arrive today (it didn't reach 25c during the day !! life tough in the West) you can retreat indoors and draw

Thank you all for the kind welcome. Currently reacquainting myself with MS Paint and also trying to get my head around GIMP, which appears to be a more fully fledged picture editor but with a correspondingly sharper learning curve.

Like a few others on this forum I have created a nation on www.nationstate.com and as such am building a navy to suit. Not sure if I should go the historical route and show the evolution of the 'Emanian' fleet or simply create vessels as they would appear now. Probably need to toss a coin on that one.

Paint.Net is a good alternative if you want something that's more approachable
