Brad, Nice work. I suspect those aren't "foot rails" on turret 2. They may have been there to lash down life rafts, etc. Does turret 1 have rods on the sides near the top? They would be there so canvas awnings could be attached to the turret in port. You might also find them on the superstructure above the main deck along the sides of the ship anywhere canvas awnings were strung. They were called "jack rods." You have to look closely in photos because they can look like wiring - but the rails stand out from the bulkheads and shadows give them away. Phil |

Brad, I certainly do follow your posts - and all scratch building posts. Your work is beautiful! What did you use for the deck plating with lightening holes? Phil |

Wow! What an impressive build! And what a major undertaking!!! 1:96 scale obviously give you lots of latitude to do some really neat stuff detail-wise, but this is way above my lever of expertise. Super Job! |

I liked the 1:192 scale for my Missouri and Alaska, but it is obvious that much more can (and has to be done) in the larger scale, roughly 8 times the mass! My current project is a Haskell class APA in 1:120. A bit of an off scale I am told, but this merely encourages scratch building! An imposing project and nicely executed! And yes, I am sure that Song will build a worthy version of thins beautiful ship! T |

Looks great in the water and otherwise! Looking toward the top of the page at the 5"38 mounts, I notice one of them has the barrels at different elevations. In these mounts the barrels were locked together in elevation and could only be decoupled for for servicing and repair. Check out with your calipers vis appropriate dimensions, the barrels look too thin, there not being enough taper to my eye. Probability of my being wrong? High... Good work! T |
