        The design, details and colors are all up to your usual high standards. I wonder what you use as reference material for an old ship like this. Gary

            I could draw, with a reasonable amount of accuracy, quite a few types of ships and a/c I also have lots of books on ships and the sea, so, along with the internet I am seldom stuck for reference. The problem comes when someone wants a particular ship at a time and place. Like being asked to paint someone’s Mom the night she and Dad got engaged! I have been ‘doing’ ships and a/c for about 70 years. Puffers are easy

                Thank Christel. I gave up Glass Engraving a long time ago.
