That's just a painted "canvas cover" over the compass. We'd put that on at the dock in the evening to keep the dew off of the compass. During the day if we were doing harbor or inshore patrols we'd just leave it on.

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." Will Rogers.
It is amazing how much detail you put into your models! Each of your stanchions are wrapped in white rope and then tied off with an appropriate manner.
The grab bars are wrapped or woven with rope too, and look at the wheelhouse details!!! The rope woven between each spoke on the wheel, wow! The Spike too & how it is hung from the steel cable.
Tim, the mechanic who is attending to the engines, only a person with real life knowledge could exhibit a model with such accuracy.
I said it before, but I will again, your work is simply incredible.
Looking forward to seeing the smoking cigar ๐

Thank you Lew. I was introduced to the "40 boat" back in 1963. It was always one of my favorite boats. Mine is 1:12 scale and has a lot of hours on it. My second favorite was the 82ft Point Class. Not sure I have the courage to build that in 1:12!๐

Just got home and pulled out my camera and tripod. Photo shows the removable feet. I plan to make the feet stick out a little longer as it close to tipping over. (Photo)

Updated: ...and by the way, your CG boat looks pretty good. Last time I saw a model one of those was back in the 1970's. Mike Shriver scratch built one (a bit bigger) powered by an O&R gas engine. (Photo)

Blackshoe, excellent photos. I had a Sony HX300. Had a great 50X zoom... until it died. Replaced it with a Lumix with a 35X zoom, but this one has wifi. You are right, Bluetooth's range is only about 10 meters.
I have the same tripod but 3D printed new feet for it to give it more surface contact and stability (this camera is a little heavier).

Thank you all! The camera I've been using is a Sony DSC-HX80, and a dedicated small tripod that has extendable legs which allows it to stand on uneven ground. It's not the only camera with wifi capability, but I've had pretty fair results with it. The prices are all over the place for these type of cameras and may seem excessive for a hobby camera, but if the price is extended over several years of use it becomes a useful tool for our purposes. I prefer the wifi to the bluetooth because the range is better and not as likely to disconnect if the phone gets too far away.
