Hi everyone....I'm working on the Brazilian BB Sao Paulo....I'm cloning the Revenge to make her, and yes, I'm a newbie to modding...the pic is of her sister ship the Minas Gerais, and its the best pic I could find online

I have a few questions:
First, what program does this screenshot come from?
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fletcher9eg.jpg
It was displayed in the "THE_ORZEL clone" thread, and it looks like something that will display unfinished builds. This would be a nice tool to have. I need to add two turrets in side positions where some of the 8 inch (?) guns go on the Revenge...what is great is that I have a copy of Janes Fighting Ships, and it has a nice overhead schematic, so I know exactly where the guns need to go.
Second, the ship has a reversed tripod compared to the Revenge back tripod....has anyone tried to turn around an object 180 degrees. let alone move it to another place?
Third, after looking at the various files, am I right in saying that the copied/cloned hex ID's are generally copied to the .dat files last, as it looks like those are the largest and most complicated?
...what I like about modding this is that it was built by the British (Vickers) and many things (stack, turrets) look just like the Revenge class, so it won't take much modding there...
...why mod this ship? Well, I would guess that no one else would mod it, and if it is good, it could perhaps be added to the wide variety of ships being added to make a fairly realistic SH3 immersion....plus, if I mess up, it won't be a super big deal.....except to Rubini, who I think is from Brazil ;)
Thanks for any advice and help,
-Jeff
