Haha I'm not too concerned with criticism of the propellor ... I've always found them impossible to draw, that was just a go at it to see how it turned out. I drew it from scratch but I freely admit it's terrible! :roll: Anyway, I found this picture of the T45 prop (adjustable bolted propellor is what I found from Rolls Royce) and had another bash at it, but I have to say I just can't do them:

Thanks for the help :)

that looks in fact very good, and are one of the best propellers I have seen in a long time.

A very nice update.

Excellent. A stylistic observation: on the fin stabilizers, since there is a wiping surface between the fin itself and the side of the hull, I think it would be more clearly rendered as a solid black line along the top, regardless of the angle between the surfaces. Right now it looks like a fixed welded-on surface, which I certainly assume it is not!

Anyway, great improvements over the decent but outdated drawing. The entire shipbucket community has been raising its collective standards over the last five years, and that's really fun to watch in action.

That is a very solid rendition of a ship's screw. Excellent work.

So, blast from the past.

One thing that allways annoyed me was that in my old drawings, the Sampson radar was too big. But looking back, Waterwings made it a tad too small, and the wrong shape.

So. Combined with new ASTER missiles and updated ECM:

Excellent modifications! It's always funny to me when a legacy part looks fine... until somebody redraws it and the old thing looks like the world's worst cartoon.

I find I'm much better at parts drawing then complete ships nowadays. Translating things to tiny detail is fun.
