Thank you Pete, Yes there will be several cuts, also in the cabin area giving view to the whole interior. Thanks again for your link to the screw heads, great idea I think.... Nils bolts holding the gear housing to the machine block, and silicone rubber dampening pads slicing off the round heads with hexogonal sockets exhaust to outside (well above waterline) screws for exhaust tube flange to cylinder

Thank you very much Geert, will start with the removable engine bonnet, that will have some outcuts so the engine remains visible. Have also added silicone shock dampener pads for bolting the engine down, and with reference and thanks to Pete`s suggestion I received the small panel with dummy screw heads, these are also installed already, as well as the prolonged exhaust tube that is now leading to the outside hull planking...

Thank you Pete, I know sometimes I get lost in details, but if the time for completing is not pressing I can try and realise some of the thoughts I have saved in mind, and its a lot of fun. The tuc- engine is the little heart of the boat. Your name suggestion is not bad, but I intended to call her "Lorbas" as this name was not yet registrated for heritage Zeesboots list, to my knowledge Nils

Thank you very much Pete, Geert and Eberhard, your answers and input are very much appreciated.... Pete, model locomotives and marine craft in G scale often have details that can be adopted of another.. I went looking for polysterol screw head imitates (your pic...) but could`nt find them in the web net, do you kindly perhaps have a source (link) ? Geert, As I could only model the engine from Photos I found on the web, this was my best effort to produce something alike in scale 1:24, am pleased you like it Eberhard, I remember , when doing the bolts with dome nuts, that connect the blades to the hubs ((KWdG model) I worked a bit like you described in your "pre lathe days". Instead of nails as base material I used quite small hexogon brass bar. Many thanks for your kind input here... Nils

thank you very much Peter for your appreciative words, I`m pleased you like the engine... Yesterday I received some brass etched fish for the catch together in scale 1:25, with two fish box kits (sides get folded and soldered together). For the fish there needs to be some uppadding, which will favorably will be done "Fimo clay" that can be baken for curing, before the fishes get painted. I decided also to produce some eels in appropriate scale made completely from Fimo clay. Trust that all together this will enhance the working boat character, when done... Nils

Thank you very much for your nice comment Mark, the small parts of the engine are taking more time than I thought....., I wanted to do the dome nuts for the cylinderhead from small brass hexagonal brass bar but it looks like I lost the remaining bit I still had. In the meantime the housing was painted and I`m working on the cooling tubing with connection to the water pump. Generator and its terminal box are also painted, need to do a bit of wiring, and I`m looking for a suitable mini V-belt or two, perhaps the thin sealing "O-ring" for wrist watch glasses can do for this. I`ll have to see the jewelery shop in town if he has some old ones in his scrap box... Will post some more pics when I have all things together Nils

Hi Peter, thanks for looking in. No, its by far not the completed model, engine, cabin, deck, the whole rigging and sails and may others are still to be done. I gues its about 50 % done to date. The pics are showing the raw motor in build, painting, wiring, tube connections etc. transmission per V-belts and flywheel still to be done..... Also thanks to all that clicked on "Likes" Nils

Feedback for Eberhard and John, this is the result for the bilge access lifting plates, (as already mentioned it is a compromise though, providing 8 hatches ) The black lines are preserved by a layer of Humbrol Enamel clear varnisch. I will varnish the complete floor area, when the first layer over the lines is cured out.... Nils
