I recently started drawing the ships currently serving with the Customs Marine Unit - starting with the ACV Triton - which was previously the research vessel Triton used by the Royal Navy.

I'm still surprised that Australia got her, very odd ship in the fleet

Great drawing as always!

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

The contrast is a bit extreme, but otherwise not a bad looking drawing.

Nice work. I didn't even realise she was in Australian service now.

Maybe change the ships name on the bows, somewhere aroudn here there is a handy set of fonts that might be a bit clearer to read.

It makes sense for a ship like this to be in customs service, and Australia has an extensive customs fleet.

Thank you all for the feedback, I've made some adjustments according to suggestions (@Thiel - did you mean the contrast in shading on the outrigger? If so I have changed it)



And now for a new drawing of ACV Ashmore Guardian - which appears to be basically a mothership to a pair of RHIBs:

Excellent detail!

Are you just doing the current/recent fleet?

At this stage I'm just doing the current fleet but if I get any info for older vessels I might continue.

Ah, okay.

very good HMAS Vigilant plans are on the Wikipedia site and she did serve in the customs on two occasions IIRC
