Hi Chris, Not a clue but Andrew is very generously working with me to hopefully find the problem. As per the ship I have decided to only post again when it's finished



Odd.... Very odd.... Never seen that before..... Well try to have a look tonight....but it is meant to be date night.

No rush Andrew, just appreciate you taking the time

Again there's a big gap on the page below, often does not show when posted

Another test

The superstructure is going to be fun

The superstructure is not fitted I have to add the wooden deck first

The upper superstructure first deck has a lot of I think 4pdr guns, it's going to be impossible to add the roof to the area and then fit the guns. I am going to have to prime/paint the deck and guns then paint the roof and then add that, fiddly. You can see the upper deck and the end but which also have support struts. Should be fun. Starting the pe next, the admirals walk at the bow

Looking good Bob. Glad you are making progress on these floating fortresses. Nicely detailed kit as well.
Something I’ve often wondered with these though is when would they use all those Pom poms on the turrets and decks? I assume they are all for torpedo boat defence, they couldn’t damage anything else after all, but who would be the poor gimps detailed to climb on top of the turrets in the middle of an action to fire them….

Bet there trousers would be blown off and a perfect cure for constipation. What a idea!

How did they even get up there? Mountaineering gear?

[BattleshipBob]

There's a ladder on the turret and a shield was added later. Bet that improved things? Totally bazaar idea but lots of ships had the same idea. Did they get the gun crew off the turret roof before the main gun let rip or quick method blow em off

Compression wave off those twelve inches must have been pretty impressive. I know the firing tests on Yamato literally vaporised the Guinea pigs caged by the guns to see what effect it would have.

Cruel buggers, they could have used Tojo instead. I have heard of a story of a sailor who stepped on deck just as a main gun was fired, he woke up naked in one of the ships boats lol

I bet there was a queue of sailors wanting the same treatment afterwards…..
