I would stick a covering on the 'clipped' roof in fact I would plank it then plank the other one as well. You will never know the difference.

hi all, have started on the posts that go around the boat to hold the decorative balustrades. all pieces are just sitting there atm. also made a start on the upper crew staircase, again just sitting there as it needs more sanding and atm is a bit of a different angle to the one below it.
also fashioned some decorative timber on the lower part of the posts at the foot of the main passenger staircase.
cheers

What's happened to your paddle steamer ?

so finally got all the shutters done and glue on.
upper structure is now also glued into place. just have to add the skirting board around the bottom like I did with the second structure. the top deck is not yet glued into place so this should make it easier to do that. also added the top balustrades to complete the three tier passenger staircase. I really like how this turned out. looks really "busy" and cool in real life.
also added the bow water protection. I ended up scratch building this part myself as the kit one was a really hard pinkish type of wood that I didn't like. this one is the exact same dimensions and should blend in well once it gets a few coats of matt clear to match the deck.
next up, put the false beams on the underside of the top deck and affix that to the upper structure. the pilot house is nearly finished and just awaiting a few interior details I might add. once the top deck is attached I will begin the fancy railings around all decks. should look pretty cool I reckon!
cheers

I go away for a few weeks and you've half finished another model! It's just not safe to leave the house with you loose in the workshop, Popeye!

Mike Dowling got a reaction from Landlubber Mike in Fokker Dr 1 by Mike Dowling - FINISHED - Artesania Latina
Well folks, another project bites the dust ! The Fokker is complete except for the stand. I am waiting for some acrylic glue to make it up with unless I decide to fly it from the ceiling as planned alongside the Sopwith.
Thank you all for watching, showing interest and all your comments. They make the build more fun for me.
Anyway, some pictures for you which hopefully you will enjoy.

Dry fitting of upper vent structure and posts to make sure they align up properly.

Mike, I spent 20 years doing that air to air stuff; 10 or so as an weapons & tactics instructor (think Top Gun). A mere quibble of your display. I love the construction, impressive build.
