Okay, it looks like we may finally be about there. I've uploaded the midships tub and clipping room assembly to Shapeways. Here's the question: what did I miss? Anythign obvious? Any ideas?

https://www.shapeways.com/product/JKHFM ... b1f1b84254

There is no sheer nor camber on the part, as requested by the gentleman who requested it. I have included a pair of 2.5 millimter tall plugs in the assembly to raise the clipping room or to compensate for the modeler sanding and shaping too much.

Thanks!

Why is there a spare barrel locker on the outside (hull side) of the 40-mm bulwark for one waist "tub"? In this view it doesn't appear to be a separate piece. Could be that it is, but can't be seen from this angle.

They are separate pieces. Its just the perspective that makes them seem as one.

I suspected as such, but if it was accidentally placed as part of the bulwark, it would make for hard time removing it. :smallsmile:

Are there any possible plans for the 40mm director tubs for the top of the enclosed bridge Fletchers? And/or an open searchlight platform for the forward stack?

Thanks
