I've got plenty of 1:700 generic railings if you are in bother, and don't expect the realistic water to dry in a day 'cos it won't. Coming along nicely though.

I only need a couple of short sections as they 'melted' in the fire? Will approach 'water' with patience and some trepidation?

Hi Pen Pusher,
That looks excellent! If you didn't know, you would believe that it was a period photo from the scuttling.
Well done that man!

I hope my next is always better

That looks really good, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh, so to speak.

I only posted this now as you know she sank quite quickly into the mud? Kind comments... thank you.

I came across this Getty photo taken the morning after the explosion (Dec 18th). As you can see the fires had not yet gutted the ship but the stern section can be seen partly submerged. This broke away completely about 1 pm that day and drifted some yards before settling in the mud (Reports indicate it moved several times until all its buoyancy was lost on the 22nd). Note the 'B' turret assembly blown up and back with all three guns missing.
