Hey all,
I'm not sure if there actually are any MCDV fans, considering they're small coastal patrol/minesweepers crewed mostly by Canadian Naval Reservists, but that said, if there are some of you out there, I could use some help.
I'm in the process of building a 1/72 scale model of the HMCS Summerside. If I had any decent photos of my build I'd post them, but sadly, my Blackberry's camera is pretty poor for snapping shots of models. In any case, while I have a ton of photos and a set of plans, I'm missing info on one critical area--what the aft part of the bridge deck looks like. I have a photo of the two forward consoles, and one of the captain's chair looking forward, but my CL cutaway in the plans isn't distinct enough for me to make out what fittings on that deck look like--especially around where the central support for the mast would go. I assume it passes through the deck as opposed to simply being bolted to the roof, but again, I have no clear idea.
If anyone has access to a floor plan for the bridge deck, or better yet, a series of comprehensive photos I'd be forever grateful. Sadly, having been an army reservist, I know little about ships, and since I currently live far inland, trying to get aboard one of the class isn't an option either. I am hoping to get the project finished this year, as my own way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers,
Sean
