little update.. - a look into the hull - a trial for painting the hull - the "riveting" of the bowpost - "glassing" the porthhole inserts (procedure) Nils here a dive deep down into the ship`s belly aft section with the two drive shafts coming to the inside this is the tape I intend to use for taping the painting borderline (not pleased with it yet), will have to improve the technique. Also the black color should be more dull, will do next trial with dull black oven-paint. The critical part is to get a good tape contact over the rivet rows, so that the paint does`nt creep under the tape. The red paint is RAL 3000, silk-surface glaze, when drying bowpost "riveting" is done around the bend Am quite pleased with the result.... here using trimming line for grass-cutter for the "glassing" of the portholes Cutting off a length ready for final trimming cut off directly at the porthole insert. "Glass" surface will be sunk in appr. 0,6 mm afterwards into the tube

The anchors, found these good looking and scaled heavy metal anchors, in nostagic design of 1900 in a Hamburg based modeling web shob. The parts are of castings and have to be deburred, the vertical bar and the hole in the spike-base have to be reworked a little larger, I`m glad I found them, love that nostalgic look with the long spikes. Two will go at the bow, one at stern and two in the spare anchor supports on the forecastle deck Nils

phantastic Work Albert, like a visit in the 1797 shipyard. Your framing and joining work is 1A, and the wooden composition (tones) of decks and timber work is super Well done Nils

only a small update today... soldering the 14 ea. port side coalport doors, the starboard ones are already mounted... Nils the holding device is of good help when soldering with the flame clean surfaces, the right amount of flux and careful, steady heating up provides a good joint all 14 doors done, a cleaning with aceton shall follow next

Beautiful deck ballastrades and staircases Dimitris, guess you are now gathering all your Fitting out parts, deckhouses, etc. in your collection box with ready parts... Nils

Thank you very much Bob, Dimitris and Dan, For appreciations and comments as well as all the "likes"... Bob, thanks Bob, there are some mis-alignment borings, that moved out a bit, which were obviously not able to be prevented whilst drilling (except with a not existing jig tool). Hopefully I`ll do better on the other hull side Dimitris, I also used RB portholes on my Pamir and Gorch Fock, a good source choise. They shall look fine on your AV Dan, with Jan`s help (identifying one of the appropriate Frames, showing the way of opening for the coalports) I could put the hinges on the top side. Yes, the "hinges" are soft soldered, and then glued on to the hull skin Nils
