Hey Steve's

Looks like you guys had a great time.
I was in my shop working on fittings masters and pouring rubber molds, but I did make it over to James's later in the afternoon to do some work on my Graf Spee and wound up working on masters for some structures for her..

I made 18 molds including the new Torpedo Loading Crane for the Gearing class Destroyers. The rest were replacement molds for ones that were wearing out....only about 200 more to go  Shocked

Which one, I believe she had 2 differant designs back then.

I also got a good mold for the stack intake vents, now I can complete the stack masters for the Fletchers and the Sumner/Gearing classes as well.

Done those too... (stacks and vents)
The early style torpedo crane, I'm building LaVallette as she was in 1942.
