Hello CGAux26 and thank you for you comment. Re the assembly of the wheelhouse roof, if you look closely (very closely) at the last photo of my first posting i.e the wheelhouse etc. you can just about see that, running around the inside walls of the wheelhouse about 4mm down from the top where the roof would attach, I've glued a 2mm square styrene strip. This is to support a false ceiling that is fitted with 4 red lamps which you can also see in the same picture, it's behind the funnel, you can just make out the wires sticking out at the rear. Another close look at the top of the wheelhouse front angled corners, you can see ( better on the left hand side) two tabs, these are glued and notched in flush with the top of the wheelhouse wall leaving a gap of about 3mm between the underside of the tabs and the top of the styrene supports, the ceiling slides in under the tabs at the front and rests on the strip supports and fits snugly inside the wheelhouse walls ( oh how I wish I knew how to draw on this computer!!
) The wires are taped to the outside of the ceiling (obviously - doh!) and fed to the rear to be connected and hidden inside the funnel, the trick is to ensure enough of a gap between the styrene supports and the top of the wheelhouse walls so that the wiring does not foul, and the roofdeck, which also carries the mast lamp wires beneath itself, ( you can just about see these in the same photo as well) sits correctly in position on the walls. The roof is secured at the front via 2 screws into the tabs. I've not tried to hide these, you can see one of them in the 12th photo of the superstructure pics.
The important bit with this idea, is to ensure that the funnel is exactly the right height between where it fits on top of the wheelhouse roof, and the base where it is connected to the deck of the superstructure. The funnel is screwed to the superstructure deck from below, and if fitted correctly pulls down on, and secures the rear of the wheelhouse roof where there are no other fixings. It may help here, if after fitting, the funnel does not lend itself to a uniform seal to the deck, you can always run a thin strip of plasticard around the base as a bit of a kick board so as to speak - make a feature out of a cock up as my old dad used to say
I strengthened the underside of both the funnel and superstructure deck with plasticard to ensure I didn't distort either when screwing down.
Re the colours and flags if you read the earlier responses to this thread by Bob,(Shipmate60) and Sailorboy I'm sure you'll realise they could advise you more than I. However there are photos of some real vessels on the Model Slipway site - look under "gallery" and the colours in the photos which came with the kit I think are correct also.
Well I've rambled on a bit but hope this helps, you can always pm me should you wish,
goodnight, good morning? and good luck with your build, kind regards, Tony.
