To serve ,or not to serve

With a broken grinding machine, some gears and some other leftovers you can build a serving tool.
costs little, just some time 😉

Good luck 👍

Thank you 

The 3 models are ready.

These are all made "out of the box" As mentioned earlier, these Revell models are quite nice without extra detailing.

The boxer

The 6 x 6

And the 8 x 8

three in a row

Congratulation Sir beautiful work ,long journey ,well worth it ,it is amazing. i can't wait for your next model.

Thanks Thomas.

The next model is started 

That is not good. 😲
Maybe best to remove the black lines first (fine sandpaper?) then you have more space to adjust the pieces

Take good care of your thumb.
He is important to us. A healthy thumb gives us a good model 👍

Indeed,very nice work 👍

The space between the ribs was stuffed with balsa wood.

A very good idea, nice work. 

The stem (problem) 

So now I know why the water lines from MRNS were not correct.  The rason was  "a wrong" start with the stem.  So this problem will be solved first.

The stem on this drawing is enlarged.

The difference is clearly visible.

The new piece

Oops...

Adjusting the front bulkheads and repositioning. (Mister Bosch is a very handy little thing for this).

And my assistant is also there (on the right between 11 and 12)

All bulkheads are bolted to the buildslip. And the water lines from MRNS are pretty accurate now. 

Thanks for following

Part of the bulkheads are adjusted and ready. An opening is made in the middle.

Start aligning and attaching the bulkheads to the buildslip. The buildslip is first leveled flat

Aligning the bulkheads with the laser

Making sure that the screws remain accessible 

The rear part is ready

The plywood keel has been sawn through (a mistake was made at the front). The final keel will be installed at a later stage.

Supervisor Felix has full confidence in this project 😼

Good luck.
