Yes I was able to get a little more progress on it yesterday. The shed was very cold even with 2 block heaters. I worked on the large forward block of superstructure above the o1 level. Filled the seams with putty. I made bases for the secondary guns and attached them to the 5 inch turrets. I laid out all of the superstructure parts for my next time in the shed. Thought it would be today but we had wind chills of -15C and winds up to 110 kph today so it kept me away from the shed .

I could build quite well with those temperatures.

Yes, I can now start getting things ready for the battling season now that the glue dries before it freezes.

I was able to get things moving forward a little more. Drilled out holes for the barrels of the secondary guns and sealed their bottoms. The main turrent slots for the insertion of the barrels have all been drilled out. I added a styrene bottom sheet to the base of the foam rubber superstructure . Sanded the o2 and 03 levels around the deck edges and built up the forward section with putty.

Update no update. Well after a decent May 24th weekend I was hoping to get things going again on Montana but our temperatures went back to freezing along with Rain Drizzle Fog and wind chill.
I had hoped to have the Montana further along but at the rate I am going with life events, work, and everything else in between I can't get time to work on the ship. So I am going to have to rethink the build of the ship. So for Rotating mechanisms for the turrets and elevating barrels I am going to have shelve that idea for now if I want t get the ship built before our short summer is over. Still will install the smoke generator and Nav lights though.

Cool thanks. I'm trying to do a few rough calculations of what ribs and spacing I'll want to do.
