I finally got off my behind and moved forward a little. Here is the strucure for the after bridge, not glued into place. I'm working on the railings for the deck first. There are also a few other improvements around the deck but nothing worth pointing out.

My eyesight must be better this week and I can appreciate the I section girders on the boat racks beautifully carried out Carl.

Magnificent! The searchlight, platform, and railings are absolutely flawless.

Looking awesome Carl, very nice detail work!

There once was a chap called Norman Ough, you very likely know about. He did your kind of awesome precision and artistry, but in thin sheetmetal. Your work is definitely of the same incredible high quality.The IWM should have your models on display, or the Royal Navy itself. My humble respect.

Carl;

No offence intended to Stone or Norman Ough but I think your model is much more precise, detailed and a cleaner build than anything I have seen by Mr. Ough.

Douglas is right, I saw those models by Ough in 1962 and they struck me as the absolute top then...
