I've been fooling around with the stock SH3 ships for some time and I agree that placing derricks in varied positions makes the models more interesting. It might not be totally ahistorical, either. I remember seeing a pic of a freighter torpedoed on the high seas circa 1940 that had its derricks partially extended. In photographs of late war merchants that tended to carry more deck cargo, you're likely to see the derricks fully upright.
