and thanks to all the "likes"
Grant,
thanks for your nice words, much appreciated
Dirk,
thanks for your Kind comment, und...., kein Wunder bei dem guten tip, and that was really an "aha" effect

The KWdG way back in 1907 once lost it`s rudder during an Atlantic crossing on her way from NY back to Europe due to unsufficient strength of rudderpost and -heel. The officers guided the ship safely to Plymouth and even further to Germany with individual use of the propellors and continious rpm Setting of the two individual engines. The repair (new rudder) then took place in Hamburg at Blohm & Voss shipyard.
Here I found an interesting pic showing the removal of the aft rudder-heel in the drydock. It was de-riveted from the Frames and ribs and drawn away backwards on Special made, greased wooden slipways and skids. The new part was slipped back in on the same way

beautiful work Greg,
very clean and accurate build, Looks great.
Just a question : I noticed that on your plan (earlier Posts) the forecastle companionway opens to the aft side, also shown on your last pics, how is the Access to this side ?

thank you very much Patrick and Dimitris,
for your appreciations, and the "likes"
for the stern decorations I am still experimenting with the twisted brass chord, how to fasten it best. Some of the decoration is meanwhile mounted
Nils
here the different lengths of the propshafts are to be seen
this is twisted brass wire cord diam. 1,6 mm, usualy used to hang framed pictures to the wall, but I must fasten it to the hull somehow. Probably with soldered in pins smaller that the ones for the first trial....

Hi Nils, I would have never guessed this is the most challenging build, that you have done. The detail work is incredible
Best Regards,
Pete

Good morning Denis,
I saw that you took quite an extensive look into the build when catching up, and thanks for all the likes. After putting on the Stern decoration I`ll make a break though, so that my HMS Pegasus may be completed first. Stern name and depth-markings are on, but the golden colored decorations and the home-port`s name (Bremen) are still to be fitted, here some impressions of the "dry-dock" views.... I`m so pleased with the experience with the borderline (Black / red) painting, after Dirk`s suggestion, and in combination with masking, that I can only recommend this further on to fellow modelers
Nils
depth markings
relation, figurine in scale 1:144
aft name in 3mm high etched brass letters

update...
Build log part 26
all portholes (port side) are mounted into the drilled hull holes, the forecastle name is put on and the hull painting is under way (port side)
Nils
the letters are brass photo-etched
the stern decoration is not ready for mounting yet
next will be the borderline painting black / red, and then the starboard side will be pulled up likewise
the black color is completely dull, the red paint will be silk appeal when the paint is cured out

Hi Nils
Now, that's a masterpiece!
I can't wait until you're able to get back to working on her, but I understand that you need to complete your Pegasus first.
All the best!
Cheers

Fine, careful work as always, Nils. And of course I'm amazed at how you can move along so expeditiously. And it just occurred to me that you aren't facing a rigging job on this beauty, so you'll be getting to the home stretch pretty soon. Bravissimo!
Cheers,
