I've shelved the Whitehall for now. I'm currently building a Dumas Dauntless.
The Whitehall has made some shakedown runs, and I expect to do some more detail work on her in the future. I still need to add the 20mms, hedgehogs and railings, etc.

Thanks man. Ballast is probably in the range of 57¢ in pennies and nickels.

The detail of the gun kits really sets the tone for Her......nice job The flag-bag was a nice touch. The pics of her in the pond shows here "riding" well at the water line...How much ballast weight was required to keep her low?

Re: Dumas USS Whitehall |

To save weight, I've decided that I can probably replace the platform and base for each of the 40mm mounts, without seriously compromising the fidelity of the details. 8 grams. I may be able to recreate them in milliput and/or styrene. Hopefully can get it down to 4 grams. The base and platform constitute half the weight of the mount's 16 grams. (excluding pe and a couple detail parts) The 3" gun only weighs 6 grams.
