I second Mike's comments on the beautiful work on the superstructure.
And Marco speaks truth regarding the detail on the turret base. I thought that maybe you built ship models so you wouldn't have to build tank tracks -- but that turret base seems to have just as many repetetive parts. The finished structure really looks impressive!
John Prados Combined Fleet Decoded is a good follow-on to Kaigun. He also has a recent book on the Solomons campaign that is on my shelf but not yet read (Islands of Destiny: The Solomons Campaign and the Eclipse of the Rising Sun (NAL/Caliber). You know he started out a few decades ago as a wargamer and wargame designer working for S&T with Jim Dunnigan before he got his PhD at Columbia.
The Gettysburg trip sounds great. You know where I live.
