One word Craig, Incredible, and another springs to mind and that is Amazing

Awesome work, Graig! Is there any possibility to see more?
Re: Revisiting the USS Wasp (1807) in FD Scale
Thanks guys!
Sebu: Yes. Not sure just what yet...will figure that out after I finish the SB compliant version of the Wasp.
A tough one as I toggled for 64 color steps in the graded shading. That's a lot of subtle color shifts to filter through in Paint. So far the sails are done. Working on the copper bottom now.
Next up will be the hull (black), stripe (yellow), then masts and spars. Lastly, change the lettering to be SB appropriate and delete the border striping.

More Ships with Sails
Early Torpedo Boats in SB and FD Scales
Some railroad stuff
More random stuff that strikes me!

Craig, just a general inquiry... normally when underway, was it not common practice to carry the ships boats on the Gratings just over the Gun Deck?

Re: Revisiting the USS Wasp (1807) in FD Scale
I was doing some housekeeping and realized I never submitted the SB compliant version of my FD Scale USS Wasp (without graded shading). So, here it is:

Cant begin to guess how hard that was to draw, I'm just looking at all the diagonal and curved lines

That is an impressive work of art. You've really found your style in FD.
