Thanks - it's nice when little details work out well on a big beast like this.

To the fiddly bits - the anti-aircraft guns. I have made extensive use of lasercut parts here, as well as turned brass gun barrels. For the smallest calibers I have used brass wire.

Thank you! When she's finished (still before year end) she (and the Kosmonavt Yuri Gagarin) will find a good adoptive home at my current office, where my FPSO model has been on display for some time already. I will return home, but I will continue to work on Ghanaian assignments through my own consultancy. And naturally the home shipyard will re-open.

And here are the numerous liferafts. Also using lasercut parts here although I'm a bit bemused that these come in the lasercut set, and parts for the planes don't.

The ship propellers and a test build of the Grumman Hellcat. No lasercut parts for the airplanes, all handcut.
