This fitting is fairly good from the outside, and since there are so many on a ship it might not
be good just yet to increase their complexity. These portholes had a brass or steel plug that could be clamped into
place to afford a more battle-worthy degree of watertightness. I did not model that.
This piece requires some tricky installation. The "Granite" cylinder in the top scuttle in the picture is
a "cutting object" that is used after the porthole is in place to "cut" a hole for it through the hull. It is
deleted after its been used to make that hole.
I will soon create a tutorial explaining how to place these into a normal position on a hull which may be
quite complex in its curvature. It's a cool trick.
