Is it just me, or do you get a little increase in your heart rate when you first open a new model box and see a hull THAT SIZE sitting in there?

James, Saul, Terry, Gator, Randy, Chuk, Bod and Frank thanks for your words, sorry it took some time to post again but here IM working on it again
Finally got the time to continue working on the boat, the front gun is finally completed, some of the parts of the linkage where modified in length so I went back in the post and corrected it, the new numbers are in red to make it easy to identify. This is how I think the gun was from the few photos I found….
The outer ring got the rivets detail from Archers set
Also the gun basket received rivets from Archer and a styrene door plus some other details
The ring for the gun mount is constructed with a piece of styrene measuring 3.5mm width by 111mm
Long
The mount for the gun is removed from the original part as is the long back cushion, this are then
Glued to the new ring
Two pieces of styrene measuring 3.5mm width by 14mm long are glued to the sides, then the lower
Parts are added, finally 3 triangles that works as reinforcements are glued to each side, this are now
The bases for the lower support tube for the gun frame
This is how it looks finished and in place
I moved to the gun balance spring, it was made with fine cooper wire and plastic
Here the parts that hold the spring are installed,
Finally the spring is glued in place
The square on the bottom of the gun cage is removed and sanded so it has a better fit when glued to the lower frame tube
The cross member tube was made with .060 tube in the form of a V, it was then glued to the bases on the ring and to the gun cage. This is the only picture I found of this area so what I did is mi guess
Of How it should look
The last parts are two more tubes that runs from the sides of the cage to the cross tube on the bottom
This are angled so it fits in place, this are also .060 tube
The gun sight is glued and the reinforcement L shaped tube is glued to the sight holding arm
Here are some views of the finished gun and ring
And the whole assembly mounted on the deck
Well with the front gun modifications finally finished I’m moving to the construction of the boat bridge
With many PH details and scratch work to do. So stay tuned and thanks for watching!
