  1. nice detailwork Denis, do you have a fish-load for the boxes ?, also need some hoses and appropriat connections for flush cleaning boxes and deck afterwards... Nils
  2. Good fix of the stairway parts and positioning for soldering. Are you going to going to torch solder ? Nils
  3. Hi Steve and Bob, thanks for your nice comments, Steve, yes, by concentrating on little sections it provides rusher results, and a better feeling that something got done, and so by and by the total progress can be seen Bob, in opposite to the forecastledeck the railings were not soldered on, but only fastened per CA, because I remember having trouble with the elonggation of copper versa brass when soldering the railings to the bottom base rail. I first tried to bend a L-profile to the curve pattern but gave this up very quickly and used solid brass bar 1 x 1,5 mm. thanks also to all the "likes" for clicking on... Nils
  4. Pawel, that "Totem Pole looking ladder" is great, simple and effective... Nils

  11. Hi Denis, thats the spaces for air collection- and distribution boxes.... below the deck are situated Pantry (kitchen) and smoker`s lounge Nils 4 skylights and 7 vents on this little platform
  12. Hi Michael, perhaps, if of use for you, here two suggestions..... cable cord: I use very flexible control wire for flying wire control model aircraft in two different diam. one line is 0,3 mm OD and consisting of 7 strands ( each 0,1 mm) of tin galvanized steel wire. this can be easy and durable soft soldered and secured with mini metal beads The other line is 0,5 mm OD and consisting of 19 strands ( each 0,1 mm) of tin galvanized steel wire. this can be easy and durable soft soldered and secured with mini metal beads Lifeboats: here is a sample in scale 1:100 appr. 86 mm long, for an open lifeboat with rimm and seats, its plastic, but when painted has a good appeal.... (they come 5 a pack for a very reasonable price) Nils
  13. Hi Michael, I`m following your restoration with great interest, for its not only showing your progress in work, but here and there also a little glimpse at how the builders made it. I wish you that you keep up with the drive and pace and turn the "Albertic" to new blossom for display again. I also have many over 10 years old Humbrol paints, but most of them have dried out although the cans were closed..... Nils
  14. thats going tobe a very fine boat Mike, love the shape. I would also arrange for holes and secure fastening points for the pedestals at this stage... Nils
  15. Update slowly working in forward direction on the boats deck....... Last two days made this little intermediate platform with deck-planking and two skylights ( two more lights and three vents also still to get mounted on this). Am nearly at the position of the 3 rd. funnel.... Nils
