[Desertfox]

The ships of the KM including the two above (bottom two left side). The smallest gun boat and the aux on the top right arent finished yet.

[The Rock Doctor]

Some of those details look strangely familiar...

[Desertfox]

The collier gantries and the main masts where borrowed from some of your drawings via my older New Switzerland ships. I am using the same scale of 1 pix to 1 ft

[Tanthalas]

the ACs are interesting if a bit slow for my tastes (happens when you have a 21knot battleline), if you dont mind to teribly much I might make em up in SS3 and post em here.

[Desertfox]

Well unfortunately can't spend alot of tonnage on speed yet. The SS reports are SS3, they were done a while back, just the pics are new.
