Almost as good as your Sicilia drawing, very nice!

Sicilia drawing? Which one? I've done 20+design studies with about 5 different drawings.

I have a few drawings of her that I haven't posted yet as well. You'll have to wait untill she's complete.

I was refering to that nice colour drawing of yours, as for the other designs I hope they are equally beautifull.

Ahhh, you mean this one;



She's a little pocket battleship project I was working on, with 320mm guns, 280mm belt,100mm deck and ~29knt speed.

Thats the one, shes a looker for sure.

Looks very much like the Ansaldo project the RSwN was interested in for the fourth armoured ship during ww2.
