Thanks guys! :P

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.

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?

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:

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