N Gauge Royal Navy dockyard layout 'The Cruel Sea' Part 3. More buildings and their positioning. 

Hi Jason - Fantastic build and I do like the the film "The Cruel Sea" myself (seen it at least a dozen times). Having spent 24.5 years in the Royal Navy myself, may I suggest in the area to the right of the water tank you make a mast as every naval establishment has one of these for the raising and lowering of the Ensign at the start of day and sunset. It would really show it off as a naval base. I also like the idea that this is a tribute to your late father. The smallest ship I served on was a Cruiser (C99 HMS Blake - last two years before decommissioning). You are making your dad proud. As they say in the navy "Carry on".

Fantastic! Liked and Subbed! Can't wait to see more videos. Cheers, Andy

Loving this project.

Coming on nicely.....👍🏻

A wonderful labour of love. Coming on really well👍😊💜✌️

Really coming along. Great work. I have read the book "The Cruel Sea" but it has been very difficult to get the movie in the U.S. Mainly because of the different video formats between the U.S. and the U.K. Cheers!

Outstanding....I have been looking for another Modeler who is incorporating a dockward with Airfield and trains, something I am attempting to do myself

Yes Difficult and odd problem HMS Crocus during the Second world war would have been painted in a camouflage pattern, But when in the film she was back to post war paint and budget etc. she was not portrait in her Camouflage pattern (this happened in many post war films)

I would move the crane as close to the water as possible and don't forget the rope posts for the ships, looking nice, the buildings are great, I like the spines on the roofs, that's something I'm going to do when I can, next time I make a building.

As an aspiring Rivet Counter with tounge firmly placed in cheek, I can immediately spot the glaring error.. The main gun on the Compass Rose is on a mount, and not on lumps of wood!. 😂 In all seriousness, I love the layout on the bui, it looks believable, in fact I'm pausing to take motes on the buildings for my dockyard.

Fantastic work. Could you increase the height of the rear buildings with more AA batteries or, and I'm not sure if this is correct, barrage balloons that were raised and lowered. Cheers Stu ,

Could the track exit (back, right), just be a glimpse of dockyard wall, with main gate(s), guardpost (sand bagged?) and perhaps a separate 'pedestrian' entrance?

I'm sure know this, but like most of plymouth the older dockyard buildings are all grey limestone.
