10 mugs of coffee and 40 fags! No one can say Shipbucket is a healthy hobby! :D

Still it was worth it. This looks the usual high quality. Although I must say the underwater shading looks a little heavy to my eyes.
I'm sure we've more to come of this plucky little ship which had such an important and active career.

As always, impressive work :D
To the camo-fans, I can tell you that I've already agreed with Bombhead to do her with camo-paint, but cause other projects it will take some time :?

Good work, but am I the only one wondering why the bridge (I'm assuming that's what it it) only shows up on the portside veiw?
;)

Great work, BH. As usual. Great to see Argus finally joining the bucket.

I was also wondering. Perhaps it can be stowed?

It's because it have the bridge in center, right in front of the lift. So he is showing it as lifted up and...

Thanks mates I'm pleased you like the drawing and to Novice for giving this one up for me. ;)
Spot on Harry. The bridge was raisable for use in entering harbour etc, and lowered for flight operations.
Thanks for the scans Colombamike, I shall do the WW2 version when I get back off holiday.
Brilliant thank you Kim, I'm sure the results will be worth the wait.

This is one of the best, one which I'm happy to have relinquished to Bombhead's more than capable hands.
The ship with the camo is eagerly anticipated by me, as well as WW2 version.
Jolly good work
