Hi1
First of all, there’s no such thng as a Stupid question. That’s how we all learn by asking questions! Now for my answer. As you may know I don’t post a lot of pictures, or you will learn that. Now that said I build very detailed ship models. One being the U.S.S. Arizona in 1/200! In that model there were many openings in the deck which were hatches to Quarters and Spaces below.
I cut off the little Aztec Stair depressions, and cleaned up under the main decks. theni created little 1/200 scale boxes with stuff visible through the little holes. Like watertight doors, the end of passageways to the boxes, and equipment on the bulkheads(Shipspeak for walls) Painted every item before installing, then topped it off with a P. E. Ladder painted in the right colors. Then on deck the hatches got flanges and support struts.
Yes, hard to view but, I knew I Did my best for my client. So there you are. My former company’s takeaway, Was a photo of a fully detailed wheelhouse and bridge for whatever ship you wanted, the takeaway being that it was a destroyer Bridge in all it’s glory decorated my Business cards. With people, in 1/350 being the standard!
