Well, besides what I've stated below in my signature line, I intend to do something I've not done in a looong time: a big ferry! More precisely Silja Line's two first real jumbo-ferries, Finlandia (II) and Silvia Regina. I've got sufficient source material, but, if by any chance, someone out there might have something of interest they are welcome to loan it to me. The other major project that I've in mind is the USCG:s Hamilton-class High Endurance Cutters. For these I've got terrific materiel; and, added with WhyMe's drawings of the USN:s ships' boats I feel very confident about doing a nice job with it!

Thank you Lazer! I wasn't actually aware that someone already had it on their worklist, but your kind words are a great encouragment for me. First I'll try my hand on the ferry thing though... I used to draw then when much younger and I guess I never ceased being interested in them...

Update: since I'm possessing a terrific source material on these I will go ahead and do all the pertinent Russian ARCs and CLs of the period 1890-1908.

Oh, Golly, that's why I wrote pertinent. In other words: no worries! Besides, my chief interest lies in the trio Rurik (1892), Rossiya and Gromoboi, in addition to the Pamjat Azova, Bogatyr and Oleg...

aye, aye skipper! Actually I believe it only fittings that I ought to have a crack on these, since my pseudo is named after vice-admiral Petr Alekseevich Bezobrazov, who commanded the Vladivostok cruiser brigade between April and July, 1904, before suffering from that terminal illness that finally took his life. During his three sorties he achieved the highest success rate of any of the Russian admirals involved in the war, amongst other, fighting a running battle in a raging storm against the pursuing Japanese!

If nobody has done her already or has dibs, then I like to add Ari Onassis' gorgeous yacht M/V Christina to my list.

Ok, settled now: yacht Christina O shared between Charybdis and Portsmouth Bill. In other words, I'm giving her away! Good luck both of you, and how the two of you decide to proceed, will be up to you, but both of you have very attractive and promising drawing on the go!
