| 14April04 | Finished up the website. This took a little longer then planned as I continued to add pages and change graphics. Some pages will not be complete as I haven't done any work on that part of the ship. |

10April04 |
I finally got to working on the website. As this website is part of my business website, I wanted it to have a similar layout. I have already completed some components for a 3D computer graphics class. |
| 03April04 | Mainmast is complete. Decided to group all the rigging together so i can turn it on and off easily for rendering. Still haven't got the colors I want. I have the actual model paints but the Haze Grey seems dark and the Ocean Grey seems to blue. This may be a time to pick medium greys and light greys that "look" more realistic. |
| 01April04 | Added rigging to the mainmast. Think I need to go back and make it even thinner. |
| 18March04 | Finished the .50 water-cooled magine guns for the AA Platform. Had two different pictures/drawings of the mount so I picked one. Didn't go into too much detail given the overall scale of the model. |
| 08March04 | Put it all together and everything fits. Why am I surprised since I drew everything to scale. Now I have to go in and add details such as the bell, between platform ladders, rigging, etc. |
| 02March04 | Finished the upper director houses and the AA platform. |
| 21February04 | Finished all the platforms on the mainmast (4). |
| 10February04 | 36" Searchlights completed. Not happy with the amount of detail I had to work with. Hopefully I can update them later. |
| 04February04 | Decicded to start on the mainmast components. Scanned in the searchlight platform from the 1/192 plans, drew half of it and mirrored it in Illustrator, took that spline into Max and extruded it for the platform and lofted the spline for the railings. |
| 22January04 | School beckoned. Spent the last 2 weeks creating my print portfolio. Needed a break so I finished the fantail aircraft crane. Interesing how every one of my resources show a slightly different lattice pattern. |
| 06January04 | Finished the kingposts. Will mirror the starboard one to the port side. |
| 15December03 | Used the same technique for the fantail catapult. |
| 12December03 | Finished the catapult. Scanned in the brass etching detail kit (from Gold Medal Models) for the 1/350 Trumpter model, scaled it to 1/192 and redrew the top, sides, bottoms, and platforms in Illustrator as splines. Took the splines into Max and extruded and built it. When i put it on my finished main gun turret, I only needed minor adjustments for it to fit. |
| 06December03 | Finished the gun turrets. Will start on the No. 3 turret catapult next. |
| 22November03 | Collected all my research and sat down to start. Decided to work on the main gun turrets first. It is very interesting looking at the various information I have and how each is slightly different from the other. |
