Sigh. Now you know why I've contemplated a career change. Significant
Other and toys...two absolutely excellent things I must leave here while I'm
away.

I'm sure the ship will look better once it has proper railing. I may also
"toe in" the deck a bit--give it a row of bricks in grey at the edges where
I may mount the railing, keeping the teak inboard. In fact, I like that
idea. Thanks for suggesting it! ;)
As for the turrets, I've fiddled with a more "period-accurate" turret--the
HG mounts on _Queen_ really look much more 1920s/1930s (they bring to mind
the mounts on German 1918 battleships--the late constructions).
