It's coming along well, CT, but I see what you mean about it not looking right. Comparing your rendering with the 2nd B&W photo, I see a few things, although these may be caused by perspective: most obviously is the pilot house(?) up on top. Looks like it needs to be rotated 90 degrees. In the photo, the bow apears less pointed, with the guns and superstructure closer to the front. The upper walkway that runs downs the sides appears wider in the photo. The lifeboat appears smaller in the photo, too. If you bounce back and forth between the 2nd and third photos these discrepancies jump out at you.
