A new GB/CB/1905 photograph

This photograph is a departure for me. It did not originate with a photograph that I edited but with a drawing that is posted to KentishKnock.com. The drawing originated from a pencil drawing that I originally did in May 2001. I did graphic editing on the drawing later. I took that drawing, which shows the ship in perspective and "flattened" it. I used the GIMP and the pespective transformation along with some further editing. I have a new design to go with the photograph. The photograph is scaled from my only surviving pencil drawing, dating from the early 1970's. The original only had 4in side armour, because we assumed that it would be necessary to obtain a 33 knot speed. This design shows that with the same armour coverage as the original drawing, that the side armour can be upgraded to 6in thickness:
