Personally I would ask the owner of the dryer to vent the dryer to the outside. Everybody is affected by his/her appliance. Even the wooden slatting will be prone to rot in due time. If you want to keep your personal affects in a good state, you will have to store it in airtight plastic boxes under these circumstances ... I think it's a reasonable request. You just shouldn't mention that you request it because you want to be modelling down there, but your storage will be affected anyway, so hat's a valid reason It's odd, for we have in appartment cellars concrete walled boxes. It's forbidden to use electric appliances like dryers and washing machines, because people leave them unattended (fire risk) ...

thank you all for the likes and supportive comments, naturally but for one ... he's even threatening with thumb screws and the iron lady to force me in another modelpartnership ... he really is freightning like this ... glad Pat & Steven aren't like that, or I would think all Aussies are By the way, I told him I would like to build the zeppelin ... I won't say "Yes", but I won't say "No" either ... I have presently six builds on the desk including this one, 2 destroyers, 2 subs, a battleship, and an airplane - all plastic, so I won't be mixing up parts as long as I let them on the sprue, and no leave them on the desktop (no Lou, not the PC's), lucky me, but that doesn't mean I've got less brass bling tumbling through the air. Yesterday evening (more like this morning) I finished the paravanes, added the decals - with the glossy hull that was easy peasy - erected another ladder for the gunplatform, replaced the asdics on the bridge's wings for the ones I initially made were far to big. Next thing is to paint the paravanes, and after that leaf through the instruction manual and check what I've done with what I really had to do, or planned to do, and compare with the remaining items on the sprues ... pictures later today

As requested Flying Dutchy ... I sprayed the hull with clear gloss so I can fiddle with the decals, haven't put a decal on anything for 30 years ... that will be a challenge for a change ... the chimney sweep can come, since I do not have a replacement chain, I'll work with what I've been given for anchor chain. 3rd picture, you can see a blob in front of the range finder, which is the range finder control, missing in the kit ... Paravanes ... a real pain in the brain (I shouldn't feel anything one might say ... or is it a no brainer ...)

OC, I heard a lot of noice from the West, seems you woke me up frome me beauty sleep with your sledge hammer. Nice choice, if you are painting it with a brush, ... hat off to you mate ... I'd sooner get me a rattle can! Spoiled with an airbrush. Will you be adding parts not in the kit, or replace certain items due to low quality? Time to sit back relax and enjoy the view you'll be modelling ... By the way ... do you ever sleep!!!

Gondola by AntonyUK

You're welcome Antony, any time. Which set did you buy? -
Jack, Denis, OC, thanks, less programming, more management ... pay still sucks ... Denis, PE railings do not stink, or brass must have gotten a strange odeur ... they are a pain ... very much so, but only if you let be this thread might be interesting for a.o. it's drawings. The big blob on a stick in front of the range finder is the range finder controler ... you can see that in the afore mentioned thread Cheers

Jackpot Lou ! First you tell us you'll be building weekends, now youstart taking them off ... this will be a very slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww build ... have a nice stay at Cape Cod

I replaced the 1/5" heigh vent pipes by brass rod with a dot of glue on top. Easier than cleaning up the ones from the kit ... you'll see. Drilled the holes for those too, for a somewhat firmer fitting. You are progressing nicely, Denis. I found a detail drawing, and picture of the bridge, which may be of interest to you, some more tidbits to add ... Post it for you later this evening (by the way, already got a new job ... pulled a fast one .. me thinks)

I think the Dutch value their money, OC ... besides, it's better to buy a complete kit, then wait until the next part arrives ... probablynot a species with lots of patience ...

Much appreciated, your vote of confidence makes the challenge even bigger, Steven Nearly forgot, Yesterday I got the paravanes to replace the kit's ones, started on the winch, which took me about an hour's fiddling, nearly ruined the thing when I squeezed just a tad to hard ... fortunately I could correct it without the usual breakage ...
