Well I had a bit of free time and I added the rivets to the Nemesis model link |

From an aesthetics point of view I am more in favor of the shorter two stacks or the single large stack version. You have a lot going on with the deck guns, flying bridge, torpedoes and other details that make up the model. And again I am inspired. I have scratch built many a fantasy sailing ship but I am more into VSF and Colonial gaming now of days. In fact I am planning on scratch building an areoscaf (flying ship) for a future VSF game and your building methods give me lots of ideas. I would also like to build my own river patrol boat and your blog post provides tons of information on how I might approach this. |

I am tempted to use fewer funnels just to free up some deck space, I need some place to put a launch and it IS pretty crowded right now. |

Well, I'm partial to the WW2 Japanese trunked funnels, where the forward funnel gets trunked aft at a slight upward angle to the aft funnel, and then up. Makes a ship look faster, IMO. I definitely would only use 2 funnels, though, you need the deck space. |

Go with the one freak'n huge stack. You can't have too much deck space, especially if you need all hands on deck to repel boarders (useful during riots when in some of those dicy foreign ports.) |
