Hi all,
I've been having the biggest trouble filling my new ships with
machinery. I have, for your consideration, a rough .jpg of a pair of
small-bore oil-fired boilers on a display plate with a little naval
officer for scale (yes, they're selectively compressed, I know):

Note the Sebulba pod vents--they really do come in handy here!
Any suggestions as to further machinery, ductwork, etc., and how I might
render these inside a naval vessel, circa 1925? I've already decided
that very few areas will actually be significantly detailed--deck
support will just take up too much space by itself, and I need the
pieces for the upperworks.
Since I just got a new halogen work lamp and a bigger memory card for my
camera, I'll take some photos of the new triple HG turrets for the large
ship currently building (_Ekaterina II_) in the next few days.
Outwardly the ship will take its inspiration from the Russian 1915
capital ship of the same name, while positing a possible course of
evolution from it (thus the oil-fired boilers!). The compression
factor, which is significant (~1:3), makes these tasks all the more
difficult, so any suggestions are highly appreciated.
best,
Lindsay

boat-heads over there too.

| (...) Lets put it this way, if they are that selectivly compressed, each one is about big enough to power a boat 2x the size of a rowboat! They would be in real life MASSIVE structures, on the order of 15' across each, and the same high. Small ones (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)
