                                  Came off in me 'and, 'onist mister!
             What you see is a compass platform, laid flat. It should end up like the one on the left, but taller.
For some unknown reason, Trumpeter have decided to relief-etch where the bends should be but they've gone almost through, you can see the result.
        I'm now trying to figure a way of sticking it together and build some mechanical strength into the flippin' thing.

It can also be used for aircraft rigging.

            Bit more stuff added (lousy picture).
        The railings that surround the upper deck are supplied in one long run, so that's three large rads and six bends, also included are awning stanchions and to cap it all, the top rail is locally dropped adjacent to each gun. You have to be joking.
       I've managed it with five pieces of generic brass rail, different pitches to fit it in and left the brass splinter-shields off the guns so they don't collide with the rails. Not historically accurate but it will have to do.

I can't see any awning stanchions on any of my reference pictures except those that were on when the ship was commissioned so I guess they were removed. I've done the same.

It also highlights every flippin' imperfection, and there are a few.

It always amazes me that things seem to stand out on a photo more than real life.

Something to do with old age and failing eyesight.

                   So here's the compass platform that fell to bits, mine's a bit clunkier than the brass effort but you won't see most of the lower bit as it's surrounded by ships boats (two high).
                  Then there's the after one that stayed in one piece, plus some railings and ladders.

I'd make a much worse job of that in 1/32 scale.  Even the camera says you've done a good job!

Would that be Jacob Masochist the filosofer.

More railings and some guns added.
I'm not brassed off yet. In a strange way this is quite fun.
