HMS Duncan 1904

Still a WIP, with minor shading, railing, canopies, anchors, rigging, ships' boats and underwater hull still to be tweaked/completed.

My first pre-dreadnought drawing, I quite like how it has turned out. Many thanks to Bezobrazov for his ships' boats thread! I will also be drawing a 1914 scheme drawing, in grey paint.

This is delicious! I hereby command you, in the King's name to draught the following classes of battleships: Majestic, Royal Sovereign and HMS Renown, for His Mayt: s exclusive pleasure. You shall draw the latter as flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet (1899 - 1903) - ( I was inclined to do this myself, but, seeing your masterpiece in progress, I strongly urge you to accept the commission, Jabba, as you have richly proven your ability thereon!)

Superb Jabba.You can take the lower hull from my Canopus if you like.

Very nice. I love the look of the old pre-dreads.

No, Bombhead, that'd not be a good recommendation since the Duncans had a different underwaterhull compared to the earlier Canopus-class. Also their dimensions were very different. I can send Jabba the underwater hull drawings I've got from RA Burt, but just imposing it on the existing drawing wouldn't do well..

Excellent work Jabba. Another handsome pre-dread of the RN that looks set to be a stunner.

first look: wow, awesome!

second look: is your source a blueprints-drawing? If yes, compare it with photographs, you will discover minor wrong details
