Scamp Complete

Today's trivia question

 125# Air Hoses run from shipyard air (The Red Lines)

 What was the purpose of this hose connection (Black hose with yellow and magenta tape, running from the side of the hull up to a 55 gallon drum)? If you know the answer tell me what I was trained to do.

At the end of today efforts

Ships banners added to service brows, most of the scaffolding built and attached.

Scamp scaffolding construction

 Scaffolding set in place temporarily to check fit.

ASW cooling water discharge, today this water must be collected and processed rather than being allowed to just fall into the dry dock basin. Seems crazy to me.

Masts and Antennas

 Scratch building details on the Gun Director, Main Mast and upper portions of the stacks.

I primered the main portion of the hull and superstructure to check that all scratches and modifications are blended.

Follow the link to a group of color photos of the USS Cotten on the Navsource history web site, this is the paint scheme and the seas that I will depict the model on when it is completed. I will copy the image to my blog once I have permission of the owners of the web site.
