This weekend was a weekend of changes.
First, when I came home I found that a storm had blow the ship to the floor, and then a puddle of water came under it.
At first I believed that there was no damage, but taking this pictures discovered (picture 85) that the rear port side of the hull was heavily warped. I'll fix it the next weekend.
Another change was that at midday, the difference in color between the South Dakota and the deck of the Enterprise was notorious (picture 82). To fix it, I grayed the color. I believed to have made the 20-B color right, but I usually painted with artificial light. Now, having repainted the ship with the new color, the similarity is clear.
I glued the "9" parts (between the main superstructure and the funnel, both sides) and the eight 5 inch guns.
Once I'll rebuild the warped hull, I'll finish the 5 inch guns and continue placing the different platforms around the rear tower (or wathever is named).
