I will see what I can do about the 2-pixel style. I agree about the 1 or 3-pixel style, but when trying to illustrate masts or support posts (pillars) on small vessels such as minesweepers and patrol craft, I was hoping for a middle ground where either style seems too bulky or too weak.

I prefer to use 2-pixel wide in this case as the masts and pillars seemed way too bulky and disproportionate for the size of vessel in this drawing. It's a compromise, but it's something that I have been playing with. Yes, that is a Dutch radar. It more closely resembles a Sperry MkII radar. I think...

Two HDD's and external are no match for my kids who come home, download a game engine, play online with their friends ... virus downloaded ... priceless!!

I used to use photobucket, but because of their new policies, I no longer have account with them. I now use Dropbox.

It's basically a stretched Valiant class SSN. Five boats were planned, the fifth was to be named the Ramillies. This class was reported to be the envy of the USN.
