Hello fellow modelers.

I’m back from vacation.
To ease back into things, I’m picking up right where I left off. I am finishing up the port-side torpedo net shelf and its associated spars.
As a result, there aren’t too many new photos today.

Once again, I fashioned cable tensioners from the shortened railing stanchions and attached them to the individual spars.

And so, without further ado, I present to you the result of my efforts.

Image

This phase of construction was actually a bit nerve-wracking, due to the somewhat bumpy road leading up to it.

Image

But this way, I can now wrap this up and attend to the remaining details. There are still plenty of them left.

Image

Last but not least, here is a picture of the three midships gun port lids, which are now also hanging on the port side of the casemates.

Well, yes, the torpedo-nets were/are fragile items on both, the prototype and the model. Well done :thumbs_up_1:
