    update... been building the two bases for the machine-room skylights, above the engine room shaft, that bear each six ventilation skylight housings with again each 6 panel flaps. So that will be in total 36 opening flaps with each 4 round light openings ( 36 flaps x 4 = 144 "portholes") This surely will take some time from now on. The flaps will be made from 8 mm wide brass strip, and the "portholes" like I usualy do it... Nils sample of this detail borrowed of a card build model from the web..... trying for the right hole pattern (4 holes) per panel. The upper 4 ones look OK. The hole-frames are made from shortend hollow rivets and soldered on to the panel The green tape is for preventing the bottom ventshaft rings to slip off and get lost

    Thank you Druxey, the fact that there are 7 sizes of vents and individual numbers that provide a little variation in the mass production...., but still in total 87 vents Nils

    Hervie, thank you for your interest in the KWdG, and for your compliment. As I mentioned in the introduction to this build, I was also fascinated by this liner built way back in 1897, and somewhat amazed to see one day that there was a card model for experienced model card-builders. I unfortunately do`nt have the steady hands and the patience to build a card model myself in this category, but one day had the idea to see if it would be possible, (amoungst other information) to scratch-build a model in a larger scale, and then the project was born and under steam. Problem was that the card model set for comparism was completely sold out, and it took me some months to finaly search and detect an used (but unbuilt) edition via Ebay Nils

    Many thanks Nenad and Carl, and all the "likes", very much appreciated Nenad, I`ll be very pleased if there is something wich may be motivating for your CS model fitting out, but you do have so many own good idias I like very much..... Carl, exactly, the footring will prevent the slipping down of the tube, after adjusting the hight, the close fitting ring will be secured with a small drop of thin viscos CA. Upwards it needs no limitation, and still the scoops can be turned to the wind, or out of the wind in "suction mode".... Nils

    Hi Lawrence, thank you for your nice words, I`m meanwhile still at the boats deck and doing the coamings for the superstructure it`s planking with pencil caulking at the edges, on 2 mm wide 0.6 mm thick srtips Nils The hights of the vents, above deck, still need to be adjusted later on The three aft winches will be in approximately these positions here planking of the aft boats deck has taken place ( no fairing done to it yet )

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
