BTW - how do you do these? Do you draw them on paper, scan and reduce, or on a graphics tablet, or is it all done on Paint Plus or what??

That one was done from a line drawing then coloured 'by hand' it took a fair while, hence the reason I'm so pleased

Others are done from colour pics, or by colouring photos. The coloured scans are fairly easy, it almost feels like cheating

HMS Nelson was done from a colour scan, USS Relief was done from a photo:

Pretty darn good. And coming from a pessimist like me (who will only live to 41), that's saying something.

Personally, I think "Relief" is an "iffy" name...even for a hospital ship.

Yessir. Frankly, I'm puzzled about why it will take so long.

No sir. I'm paying them. There is no way I'm going to pay without getting something in return.

PS: Besides, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm starting to get used to it. Even worse, I forsee the posibility of actually getting to like it.

OK - here's a new one on me:

My nephew took up weightlifting a couple of years ago, and is now winning trophies...

The other day, he and his girlfriend were roughhousing, and she punched him in the back...

... and broke her hand!!!

(Shades of RUPD!!! )

Hey! It was my toned muscular frame hitting the pavement at 10 MPH that did the damage!

I broke a porch railing with the guy I caught.

I can relate however. My 16 1/2 year old nephew is now taller than me. This could take some getting used too.
