what's the term for "elevated bow" as visible above (right in front) and below (fore from where the penant number is) please?
USS New Jersey, BB62, in 1/350 Scale
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
The Build - UNREP details, Helo refueling, aft comm mast, life bouys, metal railing - November 28,2015
I began this session by providing more of the detail that the photo etch set provides, while getting ready for the railing. First, I added all of the photo etch detail to the main crane, which also serves as the principle Underway Replenishment (UNREP), or Replenishment at Sea, (RAS) station for the vessel. I then added the two helo refueling stations on the after end of the vessel which are accessed via the old aft 40mm gun stations.

I then added the comm antennae on the aft end of the vessel. If you note, you will also see the medivac stretchers that the helos carry attached to the sides of that small deck house. In addition, I added the numerous orange life bouys located around the vessel.
At this point I started adding all of the hand railing around the ship, starting with the railing along the horizontal masts and extending all the way down to the main deck. There was a lot of it. some of it was cut to the appropriate length (like the hand rails along each of the horizontal masts), others had to be cut to the right length and then bent appropriately to fit. There was a lot of it and this part took me several days.

see them now LOL thanksThere is one attached to each side of the small deck house at the bottom of this comm aerial.
Jura, BTW, the appropriate term for that part of a ship is the forecastle. Although it generally includes a larger portion of the foredeck than what you are referring to.
You're welcome.
Back to the forecastle.
I am not sure if there is a specific name for the portion of the forecastle forward of the anchor windlass.
