I think this drawing has officially taken me the longest - I started it about 3 years ago - so I'm glad to have finally launched it (unless anyone sees any flaws with it...). The biggest problem I had was finding a half decent side view to be able to detail the deck, as all the good pictures I could find were either from the front or back. But anyway, here it is:

Great work, nice to see more RAN ships here and auxiliaries, this does both jobs!
Nice detailing, though the red foam nozzles should probably be outlined in black.

Lovely drawing, Rowdy36. I also think that with the shading you've just applied you've just upped the quality of your art here.

Very fine addition Rowdy ;) A minor nit pick; I think the underwater hull shading is still a little too dark. Besides that, excellent :D

I adjoin the praises, and specially Hood's notation that there can never be too many auxillaries in the forum.
