thanks!

Thats really what set me off, to build this MOC, because
the turkey sets were on sale! I ordered 12 of them in november,
cheap!

2 3665 Brown Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 Inverted (Pic)
5 3660 Brown Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Inverted (Pic)
1 43723 Brown Wing 2 x 3 Left (Pic)
1 43722 Brown Wing 2 x 3 Right (Pic)
it’s the brown inverted slopes and brown wings, and 7 hull
middles ofcoarse.
you can see this in these pics:

and

But the best thing is that brown plates let me get the “sheer” into the hull!
The bow is three plates higher (at the brown line) than the midships, and
the stern is four plates higher.

The roomy fighting-tops are also marvelous.

Please note, the minifig marine climbing through the center fighting top.

And, as
Larry pointed out, “ooh, tumblehome!”
|
yes, many models discussed here use “Slope Brick 75 2 x 2 x 3”
for their tumblehome I choose to use “Slope Brick 65 2 x 2 x 2”
I felt that I could build a tighter (hight wize) gun deck.
And more importantly help get the “sheer” into the hull!
