At least the deck was not fixed yet as I have to fix some details still.

But in order to be looking smart, neat and tidy, the stern needed some attention. Great o the outside but the inside ...

 

Victory-181004_9675.jpg

 

... still quite worn, so I ground down the old paint and rediscovered the two square holes on the top that I added eons ago to fix the stern quarter davits, but scraped them later as newer research omitted them.

 

Victory-181004_9674.jpg

 

Looking more cute. See the two metal bits on the top?

 

Victory-181117_2071.jpg

 

Then had to fit the stern part. Great to have good tools.

 

Victory-181010_9682.jpg

 

Never thought to use a plain on my plastic tub 🙂

 

Victory-181010_9683.jpg

 

To be able to still look inside later on, I hid two magnets in the side galleries, fitting the two metal bits 🙂

 

Victory-181117_2073.jpg

 

Then came the cover of the tiller head ...

 

Victory-181006_9677.jpg

 

... build the box ...

 

Victory-181006_9679.jpg

 

... removable of course 🙂

 

Victory-181006_9680.jpg

 

And to give a good fit, a frame on the deck was to be build. Quite tricky in that size, so did an external work on some paper, that was removed by being made wet later on.

 

Victory-181008_9681.jpg

 

Searched for the wheel and the binnacle, made in February 2012, made a small base ...

 

Victory-181015_9684.jpg

 

... and also smartened the anchor cable for protection ...

 

Anker-180820_8371.jpg

 

Anker-180820_8369.jpg

 

... and the deciples came to praise her!

 

Victory-181017_9686.jpg

 

And then simply he simply took the model with him ...

... I needed to be strong then ...

Oh it did hurt to see her all alone in the back of the car going to a big trip. What happens if she was bored? Thirstty? Hungry? Or needs a p-brake???

 

 Rochefort-181019-Abflug_6954.jpg

 

And off it went for the journey, a 1000 km across France to Rochefort. Straight into ships paradise, together with another 150 models and proudly showing the flag ...

 

Rochefort-181018-3.jpg

 

... of the german delegation together with the Amerigo from Joachim/Schiffebastler:-)

 

Rochefort-181017-Ankunftsrundgang_9690.j

 

Later still came Chapman´s barge from Alexander / Foxtrott ...

 

Rochefort-181019-Ausstellung-2j_0852.jpg

 

... and the Sphinx from Alexander / Alex M. ...

 

Rochefort-181019-Ausstellung-2j_0854.jpg

 

... and me I was obsolet as the kids played all by themselves.

So I used the time ...

 

Rochefort-181018-2.jpg

 

... to go and see her great-great-great-...-great niece ...

 

Rochefort-181019-2-Morgenteam_0120.jpg

 

... together with the other german ship parents that did not have to bother for their small ones 🙂

Funny enough the organisators eliminated all references upon Heller and plastic from the model description.

Despite all this  X-Mess-stress I found a small space for some advent tinkering 🙂

 

Started as usual in the smaller scale ...

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181120_2076.jpg

 

... and then scratched the fitting Brodi-Stove for it by some scrap materials.

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181120_2077.jpg

 

Then some trials ...

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181204_2233.jpg

 

...for the BBQ-skewer holder and some brass nibbling ...

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181204_2222.jpg

 

... bent ...

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181204_2231.jpg

 

... and the skewer itself by filing a round brass into a pointed square section.

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181204_2234.jpg

 

Some trials in soldering but finally it fitted :-).

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181204_2238.jpg

 

The exhaust air propelled skewer drive was easy ...

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181205_2244.jpg

 

... but fitting a 1 mm hole for the external axle bearing into a 1 mm brass profile needed the magical trick of flattening the material before drilling :-).

 

Victory-Brodi-Stove-181205_2250.jpg

 

Then some handles and the handrail around and soon some paint could be applied.

 

I think I will go for a nice eloquent black 😉

Thank you Sirs, very indulgent 🙂

Others were not. "Too uneven", "roasting spit too thick" and "handles meant for giants"

So out the scalpel and flattening all uneven surfaces and corners, getting the soldering iron out and eliminating the oversized spit.

 

Bodie-Stove-V2-181221_2524.jpg

 

Filed a new squared and tapered spit onto some 0,5 mm brass wire.

Inserted a new smaller bearing into the spits driving wheel ...

 

Bodie-Stove-V2-181221_2526.jpg

 

Bodie-Stove-V2-181221_2528.jpg

 

... and mades some more ergonomic handles.

 

Bodie-Stove-V2-181221_2531.jpg

 

The result looks like this:

Wow, doesn't it sum it up at all.  I'm speechless.  I think after looking over the exhibition I'm going to shut down my computer and wander off... totally overwhelming images of superb models.
