Looks great Chris, and if it's fitted on the real thing then ugly or not it's meant to be there. A bumpbar? you need to sharpen up your reversing skills.

HI Andy yes it was on the real ship looks to me like a big tool box an ugly but yes its meant to be there an yes bumb bar is nessarssary as its nothing to do with my reversing skills lol. but the wind blows these big ships about if they are not underway so no rudder steerage so hence bumb bar lol
but this ship will have bumb bars in several places on the hull to stop it hitting the wall

Marvelous stuff can't wait to see those guns rotating and elevating. Meantime I thought you would enjoy this. An old photo of some models used on a movie.
