I'm late to the game on this one. Apologies.
Looks like a 'Wedding Cake' at the top - different antenna diameters for different frequency ranges - definitely a temporary fit based on it being in the middle of the flight deck - so - maybe a precursor system to the CANEWS? The shack with a...
OK,
I've released the files for the HMS Puncher - available free on Thingiverse and cults in case you want to download them and print yourself!

So, is this an indication of bigger problems, or an outlier?
Looking at UKRs campaign against refineries and such, is Russia now having to move more POL to to different areas in ways that they hadn't planned to? I suspect the answer to that is yes.
If RUS is now bringing riverboat tankers to...
Here's the beginning...working at home because, y'know...life.
This shows the hangar deck with a portion of the forward elevator at the upper left, with the wall along the bottom edge being the centerline of the ship.
I decided to label the picture.
I was going to start playing with the laptop at work which has a CAD program on it for...professional development reasons....then I got busy with a bunch of artillery sights that have to be checked out...so I've got days of work ahead before I get to do any downtime projects.
I think we both had similar concepts and I posted without refreshing content -
1/32 would be a good scale because there are aircraft of that scale readily available for sale as models, so a S2 parked on the flight deck would be a good accessory.
I will ponder this and see what I can come up...
Something like this...?
This does NOT match the prints, but is a 20 minute 'draft' version that I put together in Tinkercad.
Make it big enough and you could make the screens active in some way.
At least it could be big enough to light up the sections and have some radio chatter in the...
I'm thinking it would have to be a lot bigger than what I've got going on right now....
Probably 1/32 scale? Maybe 1/35 to get people of the right size easily? That's just a scaling factor though.
Let me ponder - this is a couple weeks of work on the 3D side.
One of the problems is that there are/were few photos taken of those spaces at the time due to security concerns (I think). I asked for photos of Bonnie including interior shots from Image Services, and they had a bare handful.
I think my best bet would be to sift through some of the personal...
In case anyone is interested, since it's quite cool in the garage right now, I'm doing some 3D design work, and am in the process of creating a 3D printable model of the HMS Puncher - a WW2 Escort Carrier that was owned by the Brits, and operated by Canada.
The hull is a modification from one...
Nothing like sitting on top of the bridge, arms deep in the STIR helping the FC Techs sort out a synchro issue in advance of the missile shoot while watching the Operators heading to the EM's beach at 1300 hrs...."we'll start early and finish early guys!" that was the lie we were told....and...
It's not my navy anymore, so I'll step away from the current issues...but. Following that AMR party (technically AAMR) I was on MON for another 3 years and ended up getting my P2s there.
When I returned to MON in 2013, and was in the C&PO's mess, we ended up having a chat one evening in the...
