    thank you very much Martin, and foir catching up the final phase, I`m very pleased you like it...... The garden lays in the responsibility of the admiral and I get orders now and then to take care of sweat creating work, like digging out a big bush, setting a path with granite stone steps. etc...

    Project completed ! The 26 month duration journey has come to an end, and I would like to thank my international fellow builder freinds for following this build, for their suggestions and helpful comments along the way. All the appreciative and kind compliments have given me very much drive to get the project complete, in a way that I am myself satisfied with the result. I´ll choose a representive bunch of pics for exponating into my gallery in a couple of days. Here come the final photos of the ship as built and in a large set of four lots, and without comments as all pics are self explaining..... I made a few more detail shots for all those that like details. The only thing missing are the rudder blades and the tillers for the the open lifeboats (paint was`nt dry yet), but I`ll get them on before the KWdG goes into her glass case Nils Final pics, lot 1

    Igor, thank you very much for your words,..... I am momentarily doing the last little bits in fitting out... now the benches on the upper decks are on and also the radio aerial wires (antenna). The three story staples of collapsible boats have received securing holding down chains, and I`ve started to fit rope coils to the davit fall belaying cleats... Will still have to do all the flags and some rigging (pulleys, blocks and hooks ) to the cargo load beams and to the winches...., but now its all not long any more Nils this pic was taken with a flash, that really shows up the dust again settled on the detail surfaces aditional benches for passengers enjoying the sun and the salty sea air Acc. to my information the KWdG was the first German civil oceanliner to be equipped with sea surface radio (operated by Marconi operators) chains lashing down the boat staples.... the antenna wires lead down to the radiostation booth (oerated by Marconi officers)

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
