        (Richard quote)
        Looking to see the funnels and how you add the smoke. Turrets are the next I'm interested on whether you'll be making them operable.
        Happy building

        WELL Richard we will see on the operal turrets but im hoping to make them turn an the guns to elevate an maybe when they at full angel there maybe bright yellow led's fitted in the gun barrells that will flash like its fireing but again will see on that

            HI Steven yea i will have fun when i can work out how this unit will all be fitted in as the smoke unit will be fitted in the hull in front of the main batt but the funnel smoke tube must be made to lift off the hull so i can take the main batt out an then its got to fit exsacly again on said unit when i replace the main S/S AN IT WILL BE ALL HID UP SO ITS GOIN TO BE A RPINTA TO GET RIGHT

              Christopher, how about a flexible tube or hose channeled to the funnel. Smoke will travel anywhere where there's an outlet.

              Cheers,
              Richard

                      AN now in this pic you can see that the smoke:rolling::smiling2: NO water mist tube must line up dead right with the funnel tubes an on this i used a cardboard mock up to get it right.

                      But on tiger as its so much bigger ive also got to cut a fair sized hole in 01 Deck under 02 deck where the front funnel is mounted so i can get the tubeing to line up with the smoke unit tube hole an this is goin to be difficult to do as with fore thought i really should have built it all in at the start of buliding 01 deck super struckure but i dint

                      so now ive got to pay for it but i'll take my time an think it through an hopefully it should come all into place as remember this S/S with the funnel mounting must all lift off the actual smoke unit itself an this is the hard bit to get right an plus ive got to get the right size bendable tubeing an at the moment ive no idea where i can buy a bit as this bit in the pic was given to me by a freind. So ideas ANYBODY where i can get a bit ?

                        Interesting problem Chris, but I’m sure you will crack it. For hoses, look through somewhere like this...
