Description Hi! So, while I have been working on Titanic's bridge quite a lot today, none of the progress I've made recently is particularly noteworthy, so I decided to throw up an image of her little sister, HMHS Britannic instead. I also felt a little bad, because I had planned, and indeed promised on the image of her hull, to have the 3D model of her I started finished by 21 November this year, but I wasn't able to complete it in time, and I ended up focusing way more on my model of Titanic instead. I may put an image up of a 3D modeled HMHS Britannic on her launch anniversary (going to have to Google it) next year, but no promises, as I intend to finish Titanic before moving on to any of her sisters. As for the drawing itself, it is *almost* historically accurate, as there are several inaccuracies that I notice now after looking at a lot of Honour and Glory's stuff and a few other models and photos of Britannic as well. The most noticeable inaccuracy is that the gantry davits took two stacks of two lifeboats, not one stack of four. I also believe she is hauling far more lifeboats in the standard Welin davits than she did in reality. Anyway, I included a brief history of Britannic on the image, I drew it in school and I was bored, so...But yeah, so anyway, here's a brief drawing of HMHS Britannic, I don't know, maybe some of you will like it. I should really get back to Titanic now, though.

EDIT: Okay, so since I mentioned the brief history below, and I noticed that it's basically illegible in the image, I decided to type it out here. So, word for word, it says, "19 November 1916 HMHS Britannic departs for what will be the final time. On 21 November 1916 she will strike an underwater seamine and claim 30 lives. She served well as a hospital ship for the Royal Navy during World War I, serving as the largest and most luxurious hospital ship on the sea. Her class of ship had an unenviable but notable history. Of the three sisters the class included, only Olympic, the first ship built, would survive the war. The middle ship, Titanic, is known by all the world as the 'unsinkable ship.'" I feel like I should point out that when I drew this, it had been a year or so since I'd last gone in and thoroughly studied Britannic's story, so there's bound to be some incorrect information, and I welcome you all to correct me, but facts like her sinking date, what caused her sinking, and anything to do with her two sisters will be accurate.
