I agree Bob, thats probably one of the challenging things a "scratch builder" faces, but its also the pepper and spices in the meal... Nils

Thanks Denis, nice compliments of yours, I wish I were so far to build the stacks, (have gathered some 26 mm diam. plugs to wrap the metal funnel skin around already) , or at least to install more details of the superstructure that makes it look more like the ship should look like. Nils

Denis, thanks for your nice compliment my freind, much appreciated, In the moment I`m planing on dry-fitting the aft half of the boats deck. Then it has to be planked in the foreseen places. This ca`nt be glued on, before all fitting out on the lower promenade deck is completed. (no access later on) Also there are several stairways, several vent-tubes, deck furniture, passengers, fastening of aft shrouds and backstays etc. to be fixed in place, primering and painting.... I`m thinking it through over and over, regarding to "what must go first", and always something comes to mind, that was forgotten to consider before... Nils

Thanks again Dan, I`m not sure if Tom`s Modelworks (Australian web shop) has deckchair etchings in scale 1:192..........., Post run house to house was 18 days and absolutely no problems with customs, and Paypal payment http://www.tomsmodelworks.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=23_40 Nils

Thanks Dan, for answering, what a pitty no build log, thats such a nice liner. Is it in scale 1:144 like the deckchairs ?, if I remember right the Andrea doria is 1:192. You did a real good job with the handrail brush-painting Nils

Hi Dan, its a pleasure to have you looking in again...... That a very nice shot with the deckchairs on your SS America, and many thanks for your tip with the face up tape and spray coloring. BTW, how did you do the handrail portions (brown color) on the railings, did you mask then off ? is there a build log for your SS America ? Regards, Nils

thank you Patrick, regarding to the fire Water-Hydrants, I did 6 (three stations on each side of the promenade deck) I also need some bollards and cleats alongside of the promeade deck railing, started making some today, using rivets, brass strip, and wood dowels, I intend to do 14 or 15 Nils
