Thanks guys.

I'm working on the masts now as I'm building the bow and stern super structure and aft cage mast. Things are popping out at me. Revisions will follow a little later on today.

Back to work tomorrow . . . oh well. To bad I couldn't do this for a living.

Very nice, David - but no cat on top of 'X' turret on the top view?

I got side tracked so many other updates I'm putting in. This is based upon an old drawing resurrected from the original thread.

It's there now Adam.

I have one little nitpick. The crane will not be able to reach the aftermost boats.

What is that thing just forward of "B" turret? It shows up particularly well on the dorsal view whatever it is...

I just noticed that the deck above the main deck is not colored the same as the rest of the ship.

a part of the mooring equipment, forgot the name, but it is basically a winch. It help to pull in the ship in to the dock.

I know, but one or the other of the float plane cranes besides #3 turret can. ;) That's the only reason I placed the aft boats there. Good try though. :D

It's metal not teak.

They are called Gypsies (UK) and/or wildcats (USN).

As Heuhen said they're basicly winches both fore and aft to aid in mooring and such, e.g. the aft one can be used to power the float plane cranes since they don't have any motors themselves.

They're called warping winches guys. ;)
