    Hey that's great. I downloaded it and it's neat to zoom in and see all the detail you made. Nice job! Any more navy ships in the docks :-)

    PS ... I was inspecting the seaplane (OS2U Kingfisher?) on the stern there and noticed the 24 is backwards.

    Great illustration! I made the hull under the waterline visible and it looks superb! Keep up the good work...

    John D - The museum staff must love seeing you! Your drawing is stunning.

    If you give your okay I'd like to post a DjVu image. Okay?

    That's an excellent drawing. Ships are my favourite subjects. I particularly like the campaign ribons below the wheelhouse.

    John - your drawing is absolutely amazing! The details come across so well in the vector format. I zoomed around it for quite a while and almost got lost on that big ship of yours!

    I utterly impressed with your patience and eye for detail!

    Wow!

    Ross,
    Its fine with me if you put up a DjVu image. I just don't know enough about web stuff to do it myself. (I'm learning but starting from zip [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] )
    D. King,
    I have an illustration of a destroyer (Joseph P. Kennedy DD850) that is another ship at the Cove which has more detail because it is a smaller ship drawn at a larger scale. Both are intended to be printed about 3' long.
    Big Frank,
    I should have said somthing about the layers.; You can turn on the Underwater layer and turn off the water layers the get the full hull.
