Thank you for looking in.

Hi Pete.
On the last picture you can see the boxes where a small amount of ammo was stored.
For sustained fire the ammo was usually manhandled from the main stores via a human chain.

Thank you Ralph I thought you might know, not the best job while under fire and rough sea, very brave men that's for sure.

Not sure how I've managed to miss this one so far but I'm on board now Pete.

Looks a very detailed kit with plenty of fiddly parts and PE. I see you mention a missing sprue, anything significant that can't be replaced from scratch?

Hi Peter, really looking good. To me PE was always meant for ships of this scale and smaller. It greatly enhances the kit when applied well.

Thanks for that Ralph and Peter, on that account I have looked up some reference images of these ammunition lockers, not many here's just two...



Must be dangerous having live ammunition all around you. Any shrapnel can set it off.

Cheers,

This is a beautiful build Peter. Really coming along well. Must be nearly there now??
