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.

Got a couple more pieces from John Haynes today.
1 anchor
2 signal lights
2 rafts

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 :thumbs_up_1:
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?

For fun, I added some flags to my flag bags for color...

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.

[img]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5335/9033177415_fd98e210fa.jpg[/img]

8 grams. I may be able to recreate them in milliput and/or styrene. Hopefully can get it down to 4 grams.

[img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7384/9035402438_2773426992.jpg[/img]

The base and platform constitute half the weight of the mount's 16 grams. (excluding pe and a couple detail parts)

[img]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3821/9033180263_e048187bf1.jpg[/img]

The 3" gun only weighs 6 grams.

I like it a lot :smallsmile:

cheers!
