You can't get better than praise from God, thank you. Kim I have no idea as to colours but I'm sure if it comes out as good as your badge for Canada it will set it off brilliantly.

As far as I can tell, since I'm not with my reference works, it looks good. I will have to check more closely tonight, though, for a more comprehensive critique (or praise!) - However, two things strike my attention immediately: why have you named it the "Aboukir'-class. It ought to be the "Cressy"-class. Also, the navigation bridge wings look way too "bland'. There's no sense or perception of their curvature or, for that matter, extension. The navigation lights are also missing at the aft tips of the wings. - Yes, already in 1901 they carried them. Another thing: according to the photographs, the bridge wings did not extend beyond the front face of the pilot house, which also had slightly slanted sides, which, on your drawing are not evident.

As a future project, I'm planning to draw the Diadem-class protected cruisers, of which the Cressys were the armored cruiser equivalents. Therefore I have studied both classes quite extensively.

Great work, BH. I love it.

For nit picks, I can see a white band missing from the life ring on the focsle and the line of shade on the hull doesn't run the along the entire baseline.
