I see it in the bow lines, primarily. Hey, if the technique works,
it works! :) I'm really interested in that superstructure construction,

I do like those lines. Very, very nice. The color scheme is also
excellent--I go for dour grey, but there's something about Victorian
dreadnought brass-and-black that's just extra-neat.
Details, already! Let's see details!
You know, if we build enough of these things, between you, me, and
maybe Richard (where's that HMAS Australia awreddy?) we can have a
really nice Spithead Naval Review. Or a duel. :D
