Hi All,
Thanks for your interest in my thread. southwestforests, yours was a fair comment regarding the ship's conning tower. In my reading of pre-dreadnought and early dreadnought battleships, I have more often heard this heavily protected area referred to as the citadel. Conning tower works for me, too. (It lets me off the hook with J. Galvez). Attached find my interpretation of a citadel/conning tower, the oval enclosure under the bridge. The superstructure of this model is brass, made using techniques I learned while card modeling. Thanks again.
Score and fold,
Thumb Dog
