Frank, I do not know if you have seen this thread on Modellmarine.de, but there are a lot of good references for your build.

Harry,

Thanks for the link. Do you know where I could get some pics of anti-torpedo nets that were deployed?

No, Frank I do not remember seeing any.
Why not write Jim Baumann, I am sure he will have a pic or two!

Hey all,

I made some progress on the ship. I made the repairs to the ship after the dreaded drop on the basement floor then I put some guns on the ship. One of the stacks seems a little off, might be a pain fixing that since its gatored glued. Here are some pics.....

Looking great Frank!
You're really doing a wonderful job on her, mate...bummer about the floor incident, mate...try to get that stack repaired if you can!
Keep Modeling,
~Gunny

Wonderful looking build Frank!

Hey all,

I'll try to post some pics tonight but as the time for completion nears I'm faced with the realization that I will not finish by the end of the contest. This was a great contest but with work, family, and other things going on I just didn't get the bench time in that I needed. I will try to get as far as I can. I wish the other contestants luck with there builds.

No sweat, Frank...please do keep on with the build at the normal pace, because it would be a shame to muck it up now in a hurry to meet the deadline...and keep those updates coming too, mate, this build will be a nice one when your finished with her!
