Phil and John, many thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.... Update before doing the fore- and aft welldecks, I need to position the hatch-sides of the 4 holds. The bulwarks will be attached after these decks are on and trimmed to fit the inner bulwark sides Nils the waterline is marked...., the depth of the original is 23 foot, that makes 7 cm here on the 1:87 scale aft the waterline is at the same level as th top of the prop outcut the foremast will fit in downwards to the keel socket between the two front hatch covers

Andy, thanks very much for your comment, I also thought already that these truss-masts have no relevance with the ships function and shall leave them away on the model ... Here also a quick shot of the prop, the raw rudder, heel arrangement Nils a bit of brass square bar 5 x 5 mm takes the end of the rudder shaft and gives good reinforcement during further handling the upper downholder device prevents the shaft from slipping out of the socket in the heel

I have a question to my MSW fellow-builders..... does anyone know what these strange looking steel pillars (see pics) on the boats deck are meant to be for ? Perhaps its only a support for something when doing the movie Nils

Hi NavyShooter, congrats to your fine Liberty Ship model. It is amazing what is possible with your 3D printing device, guess you have already good experience with that method. In all well done ! Nils

Update I`ve taken her off the building base today, to preliminary fit the stand, pedestals and spindles and have a first look at the inside. All looks OK so far. The raw hull is very light, and now easier to handle Nils the planking throughout is only 1,5 mm thick, here after scraping job for the bow section shape I do need some filler, here prior to sanding the fine tuning of the aft heel area is still to be done the first look at the inside shows all is properly in place the standplate and its fastening per M5 stainless steel spindles

Update She is 87 cm long and the shape is that of an good old heritage steamer of 1918 The planking is going on quite well, I`m down to and already around the bilge bend on both sides .... My small model building room, for the more rough work, needs some tidying up afterwards Nils I started a bit of scraping job with hardened scraping plates, it works well when carefully taking off wee "flakes" of the thin planking, and still it may take a bit of one-component filler to smoothen out in certain places only

Thank you Gary, its a long and weary deal with the rather thin planking, and I`m looking for a suitable light filler ...... Nils

Very impressing build Okesa Nils
-
Update it could go swifter with the planking, but the glue takes its time to cure out well Nils around the bilge bend the planking will be more tricky prop, -sleeve- and shaft are fitted in

Good morning Valeriy, and welcome aboard, I also love steamships and so I just could`t skip to dig into the Ergenstrasse as a model. Nils

Today I started with the planking (one layer only, 2 mm thick planks) in 8 and 10 mm width, I`m waiting for the ordered 50 mm dia. brass propellor to arrive per mail, for adequate fitting into the aft area prior to continuing wit the underwater planking. The bulwarks in the welldeck areas will be made later on from 1,5 mm thick 3 layer beechwood ply, and the frames will be cut away there flush with the well-decks in those places. After planking the starboard side to the same degree I think I`ll remove the raw-hull from the building base for better handling. The hull will be stiff enough then to avoid any twisting during planking. Nils the fine trimming will be done by scraping the outer skin and with a light sanding all the frame contours are straking very well with the skin planking planking the midship island sides is also part of this sequence as well as forecastle- and poop sides. The stringers are a great help for attaching the preliminary holding clamps during glueing
