Hi as I'm having to repost my Tigers due to Majhost (cant find the old thread and it had a stupid name anyway),

Tiger by Jabba

real in 1928

PD in 1933 as TS

PD in 1939 rebuild as BB

PD in 1945 at end of war

Yes, JSB, here you've got the relevant picture of the Tiger as of 1928, a drawing that Krakatoa needs to study for his versions. That said, no, I don't agree with your later 'down-built' - more austere - bridge versions in your later drawings. If anything, even on a clearly 2nd rate vessel, such as a retained Tiger most surely would've counted as, the bridge complex would've received adequate attention, with baffles added, windows and/or -screens added/expanded etc. As it is in your versions from 1933 onwards, you actually removed, quite inexplicably a feature that several of Tiger's commanding officers complained about and wanted remedied: the open upper bridge (Compass Platform), which, finally, in 1924 received an enclosed window screen with a tarp roof. This you removed on the later versions! - In other words, my dear friend, you went backwards in terms of evolution!
