One of the interesting things about a project like this is.. Finding the clues to the actual size of things.
One of my first mistakes was thinking in terms of feet and inches. I've had to go back and change several details, because they just didn't "fit".
Then, there are the details, like the stays for the funnel/stack....I finally saw a hint of them when looking for something else. Those will be added once the superstructure is permanently attached. There has to be an anchor windlass, but I have no idea what the one "Diana" had, so will have to rely on " experience, and memory " for a reasonable representation.
In the end, this is a welcome departure from the " same old, same old ". and will have a place on the Seaport modules.
Thanks, for the interest, and the positive comments, they add to the fun.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
