Angarfather got a reaction from Omega1234 in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Hello Nils,
of course it will be an uncomfortable place for the helmsman. But for long times there were no windshield weephers at the windows of the wheelhouses. In storm with rain, spray and fogged windows it was almost impossible to see outside the way fx in harbours and other small waterways. Even with freighters and ferries from the 80th the outboards controls were still on the bridge cams in the open.
best regards hartmut

Many thanks Rob and Carl,
for your comments....
Rob,
agree, must have been lousy cold and uncomfortable out there, especialy in winter or during a gale or blizzard. But I think there was the possibility to drive the ship from the inner closed wheelhouse, just like later on the Titanic the crew also had that alternative..
Carl,
thanks for the words,
no more big surprises in the near future, except for the missing two guy wires on each side for the first funnel. They can be put on now that the bridge is complete and these do`nt
hinder access for mounting parts any more.
Its about time now to get the ships boats and davits under way, it will take quite some time to do that sequence...

Thank you very much Gerhard,
words, much appreciated....
a helmsman is climbing the "monkey island" for the feeling of freedom under the wide ocean sky and calm weather, and is preparing to steer the 14,300 tons and 31,000Psi here from this point for a while...

Hi all, I finally got a little more done. The deck is planked, the front and rear walls to the main cabin are up and I finished the little deck house, which was the smoking lounge, it was removed when that deck was enclosed.

Another step. Utrecht needs a stand now. I am rarely a minimalist. Only for the stands. Therefore I like to use plexi glass for this job.
It s from 6mm Plexi and a 9mm roundbeam, assembled with two M4 screws
My Admirals did say: Beautiful, she floats over the ground.
Best regards Hartmut

Many thanks, guys!!!!
Bevor I can start to carve and bring in the figurhead (a lion ) I have to make some little parts to finish the bow.
The reinforcement of the stem to hold the loop for the gammoning ropes and the knee to support the sprit
The reinforcement is from 0,8mm brass. The loop from 2mm brass soldered into the brass sheet.
Besst regards Hartmut

Thanks Patrick! And the Same to you!
The replica makes 3-4 knots at Wind 3-4. Yes, this ships hadn't been racehorses, but very comfortable sailing hotels for the upper ten of the dutch companies.

To model the gallion is a little bit fiddly. The drawings doesn't show the real dimension of the rails and knees. So I started first to make the lower and upper knees.
After this I could find out the dimensions of the upper rail
Next job will be the carving of the filler and the figurhead.
Cheers Hartmut

After several weeks with carving, I now again have to made some technical parts of the Utrecht.
First the windlass
On board of the Utrecht the catheads and the windlass are one technical system. I have made it from swiss pear, the rolls are from brass
It was no problem to turn the shaft of the windlass from beech wood
Milling in the tooth ring of the backflow barrier
In position
Finished

Some pics from the finished decorations of the Windows.
Now I have to carve some figures. I tried at first to carve the two sea animals which will "live" on the reling. They are not so complicated as the galions lion and the others. They are named dolphins, but I think that they are typical baroque seamonsters.
