It seems I may have made quite a few severe calculation errors. It will take a while to get back on track.

Turns out there wasn't any calculation error except the one causing me to think all earlier was errors. Blasted irony. That entire week of minor SB-related depression for nothing.
Anyways, continuing with uploading WIPs. As mentioned, this will take a while, assuming I won't hit any more morale-killing snags.

And just to add to your woes, friend: please do a full hull version, if you don't mind!

NOOOOOOO!
*Enters yet another depression*

No, it has been my intention all along to make an UW hull. I will save it for later however, mostly becouse I prefer adding the UW hull last, or at least late.

Looking good so far!

Thought I should post tonight's updates

I had almost forgot how effectively you can work when you really want to.

Fair enough, but I declare, Sir, that I shan't regard it as complete before such a hull turns up! Excellent progress so far. Hopefully after this, you'll tackle the Aki as well. And, with regards to ships' boats, I'd look into the IJN parts sheet that I know exist somewhere. Maybe someone can help out here? Also, considering the origins of the Satsuma (and Aki) and the vast import of materiel and technical assistance rendered from Britain, you may contemplate whether you can use the RN ships' boats sheet that I submitted (http://shipbucket.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2359).
I am constantly working on more versions, so if you need something, I might have it or can draw it. I've just not gotten around to post them yet...

Maybe this will help for the underwater bits?

Should though it consider to be completed whithout her nether parts, though shalt be stoned at the town square!*

Thanks you, and yes, I intend to do the Aki whenever I find the time and sources.

Well, I haven't found any substitute for the boats. I might try to "upgrade" though.
My biggest problem at the momment though would be anchors.

Very nice, thank you.

* In my attempt to sound... well, ancient, I suspect I broke at least half a dozen grammatical rules... a well!

So, now it's really mostly polishing and add details such as bollards, rails, and criss-crossing wires between masts without any purpose to my knowledge, and such to it. Plus the UW hull off cource.
Also, I HAD made a calculation error... or rather, gone by the wrong axis at the bow... so she is now longer, as well as having some minor ("minor") faults to measuring corrected.

NOTE: Yes, I am aware that a small piece has been cut of from the thing above and fore of the anchors. It's currently being fixed.
