Thanks Jim

Image
The 30' and 50' swing booms. Each boom has holes in the end for the PE piece. Each needs to be drilled a bit deeper and reamed for the PE to fit. Not sure if I am going mount the 50' swing arms as they seem to be removed in plans after the Sept. 41 refit along with the grabs rails the led down to them. If anyone knows I would be interested in the answer.

Image
Both 30' swing were mounted starboard as per Pontos instructions with the other at 6" guns location.

Image
Repositioned bow flag staff more forward and added small chokes beside the fairleads.

50' Swing Boom installed plus the leadman's platform.

Rodney's crest is from the Pontos set. Need to fix the ladder and clean up some battle damage.

Thanks guys :thumbs_up_1:

The accommodation ladders both sides.

Image
A single accommodation with the middle landing. If you want to mount it on the port side you have to reverse bend the lower piece. May end up cutting the PE chain to make it more taunt.

Image
The Rodney "Welcome Mat" on the aft port ladder. I believe that's all the brass the ship gets. There is still some for the aircraft.
