Very nice (that's a bit of understatement really) to see what is relatively unknown part of Australia's naval history so well done

Thanks Graham, I find these ships have been largely forgotten, overshadowed by the ships of the 1910's, shame really considering the service they provided

By the way, what's the story behind the colour?

Ah, I went with a grey with a slight blue hue, looking at paintings of HMAS Encounter of a similar period, the red is a estimate of the antifouling paint

Yeah sorry, the blue hue was what I was referring to. It looks good :)

Looking great!
The offset waterline marking looks interesting. I suppose this served some kind of purpose?
