That`s right Tom, and those shown, are only those from the 3rd an 4th funnel looking aftwards. With all those metal-vents the ship`s center of gravity will go a jump upwards later when all is fitted Nils- 2,625 replies

Vents update built a prototyp of every type. There`s a whole bundle of different vents with different lengths and diameters, but it looks like I can get all (scoop sizes) out of the bag-foot-size collection. The brass tubes are from regular stock.... To get an impression what they would look like later on, here`s a pic of a beautiful built 1:250 card model ( I borrowed from the web), showing the vents, looking in aft direction..... Nils this pic of a card model was built by a very skilled modeler

Thank you very much Bob, for the vent scoops I used to saw off the domes from M8- M12 acorn nuts, but I did`nt find any acorn nuts equipped with pressed in / welded thin metal sheet domes any more, so I had to find an alternative.... Nils

Good work Michael, Nils

Thank you very much for your kind comments, Crackers, Michael and Bob, I`m glad it worked well, that gives encouragement to do all the other vents in the same way... Nils

Build log part 29 I`m continuing with the build...... Today a trial is made for doing the scoop-typ vents. I found some staggered sizes of nickle-galnanized tin sheet. These usualy are mounted as foot / stand buttons to shopping bags. Together with short lengths on different diam. brass tubing (soft soldering) the can be transformed into nice looking nostalgic vents. The fastening strips have to be removed from the buttons first. The radial hole for the tube is drilled into the side of the button and the grinded to suit the fit for soldering The first and smallest prototype for the two forecastle vents is made in rough version. Will probably mount a "rivited skin" to the tube and two handles for setting to the airflow. There must be round about 100 vents in all sizes on this ship Nils

beautiful lines Pete, it must be a wonderful feeling to sail her (actual boat) for those who are lucky to own one... having such a fine model is also a pleasure I believe Nils

wonderful Kay, :) Nils -
Hi Toni, just read about the anxious time you went through with your pet. We have a fox terrier who also once took apart a little PVC plastic sqeeky toy. We found most of the fractions afterwards but for two or three bits still missing. With a sigh of relief they came out the natural way after two days. I like our galley stove looks, it looks very well.... Nils

Many thanks Mark, a nice compliment.... yes, I think I owed a nice case to my "Peggy" Nils

very nice and tidy work Francesca ! for the stern bulwark planking I usualy do vertical planking to have a homogen material throughout the hull, but you had a smart idea Nils

no, not disappointed Kester, in fact I beleave a good built half model is also a great challenge. In our old school I remember, we had a large steamer-halfmodel, mounted to a mirror in a glas case, it was of course the totally mirrored of the built side, whereby ships are not actualy that symmetrical, but the effect was grand to see Nils

congrats Bob, hope you will be be holding those little naggers soon. Already curious how your hold areas look like, when they come to life.... Nils
