Well I have all of th deck superstructures done. I do not know how great a model this will b though. All of the heavily sloped armored parts were only about a foot high. Great for keeping a low profile but makes for som shallow bnding when folding card stock. If this ship had ever hit water almost all navigation would of had to of been from th turret top, except when in battle. Now I see why it had so many armored spotting houses. Still visability would have suckd. The port hols are about 4 inchs in diamter, but pass through 24 inches of wood and iron, so it would be like looking through a 4 inch by 24 inch tube. Really shrinks the viewing area. Also, notice the huge blind spots in the corners do to the thick walls. With such thick walls and heavy slope, the inside would hav been cramped. Any how, all this at 1/250 scale will be an neat trick. We will see.
