Another IJN design from me, river gunboat Fushimi:

If she seems a bit underdetailed, it is because of 2 reasons:
1. The Japanese like to make all their early riverboats boring and underdetailed .
2. Decent photos are hard to find. If you have anything what it looks like in that middle section behind the boat, please send it to me.

A very nice drawing.

I guess that it won't be a big help, but perhaps it will be of some use anyway.



(Jane's 1933)

Hope this one will help


Also a not so good line drawing

That is really simple... Wonder why they want their boats that boring?

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

Maybe becouse they build a ship, not a toy.

If you look at pics of other Yangtzee River patrol vessels from other navies they were all pretty boring and uninspired. It's one of those cases where form-follows-function. They don't need to be pretty, they need to be functional.

Nice work...will the second Fushimi (1940 version) be next, by any chance?

A beautiful ship and a beautiful drawing!

Thanks everyone! Possibly, once I get a bit better at drawing from photos. BTW, thanks for all those pics.
