Hi, just wondering if annyone knows what if any parts of the build will be movable after completion? As i have seen pictures of doors, windows, canon flaps opened/closed on some models.

ie: will the canons be able to emerge out of the ship and retreat with a closed canon flap as if it were closed from battle?

Also, probly a realy realy dumb question but i have to ask if the wheel and or helm be operable?

The Tiller (also on ship's boat) and the windlass worked on the Harvey. But in a rather basic way. These models have so much detail on when fully rigged that you would run serious risk of collateral damage each time you reached in to twiddle. The thought of scores of minute hinged cannon ports and associated movements for the cannon barrels would make even the most experienced of builders turn pale.

pretty hard to do with victory as the ships wheel is behind the compass cabinate and underneath the poop deck,rubber fingers would help.the cannon movement can be achieved by pullys and bell cranks,french prisoner of war have done it with there bone models.if you have done r/c building you will have some idea how to do this.
