You need to figure out a way to disable anti-aliasing for the text.

HMS Antelope ('A' class) was part of RN destroyers built between the wars. It started with HMS Ambuscade and HMS Amazon. HMCS Skeena was slightly shorter, bein 320ft long overall while the 'A' and 'B' classes were 323 ft long overall. Next came 'C' and 'D' classes which were slightly longer still being 329 ft overall. All ships were built in 8 ships class and a 9th was aleader which was generally longer and armed with 5 guns (except for the 'C' class which were only a half flotilla and so were all transfered to the RCN)

Hi again!

I have sorted out the anti-aliasing for the text now :)

I have done versions for Antelope's wartime refits as well.
Credit to Portsmouth Bill for the depth charges & Y-guns.

What do you guys think? Is it good enough for the Real Drawings section yet?

Some comments:
Do not use double pixel lines.
The paravane shading looks too dark.
With the flag on the aft-pole I wouls expect the jack on the bow.

Where are the double pixel lines?
What is the paravane shading? (dumb question probably :oops: )

I'll get the flag sorted too...

Thanks for spotting for me!

I think the black waterline should extend flat to the bow instead of rising up.Nice drawing ;)

Latest with recommended updates are below.

I have also done more thorough reading and found more pictures to get a more accurate idea of armament and equipment. Have also added disruptive camouflage to the '44 version.

I think I'm getting there, although I'm getting the feeling that I'll never be completely happy with them...

Update: Made recommended changes...

You certainly "getting there". Please note that it is customary to change the railings clor to that of the superstructure when the ship is camouflaged.
Also the funnel casing of the aft funnel looks somewhat wrong, as are some other details in general.
Use Type 286 by Hood from the parts sheet for the masthead radar on the 1944 version. You also need to replace the range finder on top of the bridge with Type 271 radar (also from the parts sheet)

I pm'd Jabba with Hoods sheets for guns and radars etc. So you should (Jabba) be able to use them for all your RN ships. And yes, I agree with Novice that it is coming along nicely. It still needs more detailing around the bridge area, but it is getting pretty close now.
