In that case, problem solved!
Here are the next set of images for the after tub. They're partially photo accurate, and partially Mark I eyeball. Some of the internal supports aren't perfectly symmetrical, port to starboard, as if the shipyard took a, "GET IT DONE," attitude, probably because Heerman was built with a 40mm tub there which was quickly removed and replaced with this 20mm structure. The differences are minor, but I can spot one or two. I chose to make the supports symmetrical for the sake of simplicity. The forward supports hidden in the photo above were guestimated based upon photos of other Fletchers but may well be wrong (help appreciated). They stick out slightly underneath the railing because otherwise they'd be too thin and tiny to print. They need to be attached to the interior of the splinter shielding, which is itself only 0.3mm thin. in order to print. The stanchions aren't that much thicker. It isn't the most elegant solution but it tends to get the job done and print.
I still need to add the blast protector and some surface detailing. Comments welcome!
