Nice work, Andrew
Your deck work reminds me of many of the pieces I've had to do with my build. Also, the firepower has many, many parts.
Looking forward to the next group of photos.

Hello Don and Sander,

Thanks for the kind words. Recovery the minerails gave me a headache, but it is also satisfying when you succeed. Also a good lesson not to give too much pressure on the knife. Sander: The ship has so many small parts, that sometimes I have no idea were to start, because I prefer a mixture between building small and bigger parts. Otherwise my eyes starting to hurt .
Well guys, I finished the first main gun. Only had some problems with glueing the gunshield together. Four more to go to improve this. The little crane was made again from styrene tube. My favorite stuff for scratching those things. I also continued with detailing the deck for the lifeboats/sloops?. Made some stairs and started also with some railing. Normally I glue them on the deck when the ship is almost finished, but now I have the space to paint them better.

That's for now foulks.

Ciao Andrew

Fine work on the first of the guns and the gun enclosure.

I'm a little late here, but ships usually did contre-rotating props for the two propellered versions. Yes, ships tended to turn p-or-s but the designers tended to do what they could to avoid such things. The real problems came with the French 3 prop battleships and whatnot. Other navies messed around with the same idea. I've been trying to track it down to see what was the solution to the three prop ship but have basically decided that, with experience, designers didn't mess with it.
