        why? sudden desire for something bigger?

        not sudden desire for something bigger. wanted a larger ship for a while and the printed DD project is going well so i might make a few more DD size hulls and get a Yamato or an Iowa class. not that much larger or heavier than the Kongo just takes more trips to the pond to remove and replace weights.

        Stronly recommend battling Kongo a few years before getting a hit magnet.

        so no windows cut? probably less than 15% complete. not done any fiber hulls myself but window cutting seems to take a very long time.

        tend to consider hull done 25% mechanicals( includes guns) 25%, superstructure 25%, final fit-out 75%. and yes i know it doesn't add. that is the point.

        Window cutting is pretty fast. Take some time to lay it out, then drill the corners and set to work with the dremel. Its just a bit scary the first time you take the dremel to that nice new hull.

        fiberglass repair is fairly simple. so cutting it doesn't bother me i am just cheap, and have time to cut ribs, and do hull layout. plus i like the way wooden hull look just hanging around.
