Time To Vent!


I've gotten around to making the exhaust / intake vents. The vents aren't quite accurate as the early vents for the QM were a little narrower, but I wanted to use the photo etch grilles from the White Ensign set and they were designed for the kit vents.  I glued the vents onto square styrene tubes and trimmed to the proper height. 

I have also created new skylights for one of the upper structures.  They are tiny little angled pieces made from styrene with custom window decals.
I've also shown scratchbuilt capstans.  They look a little over scale, but I think they are pretty close.  They are made from small nails with a dab of white glue on top to round it over and a ring of round styrene tube with a beveled edge.
