Impressive :) But you've not joined a lot of the rigging, and the shading needs improving; you have the light coming from both directions in some places, and in only one direction in others.

Agreeing with the useful comments by PB, it is overall a tremendous drawing! Just have a second thorough look-over at your work and you'll be fine! We all have experienced those problems, so it's really no biggie!

As usual the sister ships are nearly the same but never exactly as the others.
Are you planning to do the Italian units?

I would like to draw them but I cannot define when: we could keep in touch about the Italian Cruisers.
