Hi Pete---you have created a work of art When you're finished ,I have an idea for another model --- HMCS Haida --- this "tin can" should be a piece of cake for someone with your skills and talent

It is suppose to be a beginers kit but looks interesting even if it is a crude looking model. I found it in a junk catalog called The lake side collections ?? It was about $9.00 they also sell a wood tank and an aircraft carrier model as well.
AF350 Wrote:Yeah the laminations do look very odd Being I am mostly into S and O scale maybe a source of plans that I can resize would be better option? It would be a good reason to cast some metal detail parts Should a plank by plank method with wood bending be a starting place or maybe a solid wood core with a thin flexable planking matertial glued to core method? Do not want to start another hobby at the moment but would be fun to build a ship or two just as a fun exersize in modeling.

Here's a picture of the skylight , based on the information you were able to provide, I came up with what I hope will be a close representation of the actual skylight.

Think now of an round glass plate as table supported by 4 brass legs. Grouping some (wicker) deck chair around it and placing some glasses and bottles containing "spritual" drinks onto the table. You won't modelling prohibition aera, you really won't?
