JSGerson Posted Tuesday at 01:06 PM #151 Posted Tuesday at 01:06 PM Quote Of course I'm already thinking of how I'm going to make any of this visible once the spar deck is in place I too built the gun deck with a bunch of details. I made them somewhat visible by removing some of the main hatchways, spar deck planking, and beam supports. However, even with openings, a lot of the gun deck details are still obscured. Only me and the man upstairs know they are there. The image below shows the present state of my model.

g8rfan Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM Author #152 Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM She's a fine looking ship Jon. I'm definitely considering leaving off some of the spar deck, not sure I'll do both sides. I know most of what I do on the gun deck will only be known by me and God, but I will have some photos to show and it's the enjoyment of doing it....right?!

JSGerson Posted Tuesday at 06:16 PM #153 Posted Tuesday at 06:16 PM For me, the enjoyment is in the journey and this model has a multitudes of side trips, some seen by others, others not so much. Once the project is finished and on display, the fun, for the most part ends. My journey so far. is 8 years and still running😁!
