    More updated pics.... Montana and the Big 5 in my fleet are down from the shelves for a group photo days before my Rotator Cuff surgery. I had help to get them down and put them back on the shelf.
    Also the bow gun tub and shield are in place.

    More updated pics...Shapeways gun directors and bofors and boat cranes. The cranes are actually sized for a 1/144 USN cruiser but they are the same style so I put them on anyway. The ones I needed they tried to print but were unable to for whatever reason. I hope to get the correct sized cranes one day and replace these ones.
