I've just uploaded pics of my first modern(ish) military vessel to Brickshelf.

The HMLS Snottler has been described (by someone who knows more about such

the foredeck, and a couple of machine guns on the sides.

It was built as my first experiment in SNOT hull building, and I must say
the results are pleasing, even at this small size.

The picks are at

Comments, criticisms or suggestions most welcome.

Cheers

(...) Oooh! I *do* like the cut of that prow. It's very "escorty"- looking indeed. That forward mounting is quite excellent as well, and I like the raft platform aft. My only suggestion, if it's possible to do: Can you lengthen it about 50%-66%? I (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)
