As far as the sources I have (Conways, many websites) the vessel was strictly in service with the Her Majesty's Victorian Navy. You're right in that it was very static- it only left Port Philip Bay for gunnery practice as far as I can find. So, H.M.S. would actually be incorrect for this ship.

Closest thing I can compare this to is a U.S. National Guard Unit- while we are part of the 'Big Army' in wartime, we are always listed as "XXXth UNIT NAME, HOME STATE National Guard."

Hi Rodondo and welcome to SB. Just let you know that I did the same vessel 2 years ago in the old forum but it was later rejected for adding to the real ships archive http://z11.invisionfree.com/shipbucket/ ... topic=2009 if you need any help in it be free to contact me as i have allot of references that will help you in finishing it off and be rightfully excepted in the real ships archive.

Thanks for the welcome, The image has been deleted but it's nice to know others have done it as well (Portsmouth Bill). I just need details about the underwater hull and the upper works between the turrets and around the funnel

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

Theres 2 pages if you look on bottom of 1st part n click on 2 you'll see them there it also includes the underwater hull too in Addition to the Mumbai/Bombay guard ship HMS Mangala too

Hi Squizzy, I wasn't aware that your version was rejected for good; maybe it was sent back for further improvements? I have a folder of ships never resubmitted, but couldn't find it there, though I do have your Cerebus class still in there. It seems a shame that we get drawings that end up not being resubmitted

Okay, nearly there, just need to do the following.

*The boats and davits
*rails
*area aft of the funnel
*flags etc
*anything else? (Might get around to doing the under the waterline as well)

shading, and you might want to make the hull colour a bit lighter, and the structure colour a bit darker. also, an underwater hull would look great...

Yeah at this size(100%) the hull looks entirely black and the superstructure is transparent (next edit then?), Yeah I suppose I'll do the above waterline hull first then start on the under section
