    Thanks guys. I may replace the main turrets and secondaries with the Termite Turrets and secondaries. I got to leave the ole WAR damage on the superstructure because amazingly spectators don't see it and when I point it out there's a story behind every shell..err bb. Weird I know but that's how well I know this model. Lots of stories and memories attached to it. Can't wait to add new memories and great stories next year with it.

    Dummy barrels to be installed... back steering hatch has been found since the move. All six guns are awaiting plumbing which has been planned and started. His waterline is no longer off at the bow and the extremely large center deck hatch has a proper mount now instead of just sitting in the hole.... dipping into the middle.... it wasn't good. Didn't sit proper. Speed is correct at 24 seconds... turning is proper at his shiplength.... and I finally decided to put a pump in. It's installed and on a seperate circuit. Float test went very well. I found a drip in the stern.... I think it came in from taking him out of the water.

    More to follow.

    Looks good!! Nice to see him back in the water, has been a long time. Scharny misses some German company when sailing (and shooting) about the pond.

    Well...it's about time. Looks great there Craig. Excellent to hear the work being done. It's going to be a great time to see these ships in action.
