Thanks for looking in Carl, well, I trust I wo`nt have the patience to build 24 lifeboats in single production, and taking a mold from a hand made prototypes for the 3 types, as well as making resin casts from those is also quite some work.... Nils- 2,625 replies

Hi Patrick, sorry, my mistake, you`re right, it should read 24 boats, whereby 6 of them are fold-out boats, tripple stapled, port and starboard the last in the long row Nils

Update... before carrying on with the boat deck supports, here an an intermediate rough crosscheck about davits in relation and position of outer boat deck edge-rail. I made a dummy for the boats arrangement. The overstanding stanchions (hight) will be clipped off after they are soldered to the rail. The 24 boats will be clinker planked and 60 mm long. Will think about resin cast technique here. The boatsdeck will be 1 mm thick ply and planked deck, just like promenade deck... It looks OK so far ....., but still a long way to get there Nils

Hi Rob, Thanks for your compliment... the portholes (I use "Aderendhülsen", as galvanic tin-coated copper sleeves), I purchase these super priceworthy from the following webshop https://www.reichelt.de/index.html?&ACTION=446&LA=0 (type the term Aderendhuelsen into the spacefield for the search) you can get them in different sizes. The "glassing" is made from bits of grass cutter transparent Nylon line for Lawn mowing.... Nils

Good morning John, I was this morning surprized by the number of visits to my log over night, and with pleasure noticed that you have had a good look into it. Thanks for your interest, much appreciated, you`re always welcome, and I`m pleased you enjoyed the tour. I`m trying to resemble a bit of the heritage touch of the turn of the century 1900 this ship brings with it, being a trend setting benchmark in mechanical shipbuilding in the year of launch 1897 Best regards Nils

Hi Alex, guess the technique you are using for the hull made in CNC milled sections and then fitted together is like the professionals do for "builders models", or for the watertank drag test hulls...... The models look fantastic !! Nils

thank you very much Pete, its nice that memories are brought to mind now and then. I grew up in capetown in the late 50 ties, and also remember taking the bus about 12 miles into the city just for looking into a large model shop there and what they had on display Nils

Bob, thanks so much for your nice compliment. I`m glad you like it.... I have now the cabin walls 18,5 mm high ( 18,5 x 144 = 2664 mm actual) , and just hope that later on it will not look as if too low, because the boatsdeck with it`s slight downward curvature to the ships sides will leave quite a lot of the promenade deck "in the shade" Nils

Thanks Ed for your word, and also all the "likes" for clicking the button.... Update.... the first promenade deck cabin section is so far complete.... the handrails worked out fine, was easier than I thought it to be......, and this time the railholders had flattened ends before bending the holding loop for the rail was bent, (thanks to suggestion of member "Reklein", Bill in Idaho ) Nils
