Mirabell61 got a reaction from Martin W in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Thanks very much Dimitris and Bob,
and all the "likes"...
Dimitris,
it`s always a risk Dimitris to drill the porthole openings, because the slightest Offset from the centerline marking can cause the further Drilling to wander out a bit. I trust if there would be another build one day I`ll have to make a Drilling jig that orientates from the deck- resp. sheerline
Bob,
Whatever the hull skin joining method of the "Pequod" will be, I`m sure it will look good.... The combination you mentioned sounds very interesting

the first of the 458 hull`s portholes are put on, and before that the areas were painted...
These close ups really don`nt hide anything

the most left one is the tube bushing for the aft anchor chain
the upper forecastle portholes between the rails
twenty of them on each side
The plugged off two porthole in the third line from the top were due to misaligned drilling
poop deck portholes

Thank you very much Bob,
I`m trying to Keep the upper hull rails clean and in natural wood appeal whilst applying the black paint without messing, and with help of the Tamiya tape masking it really works very well...

Build log part 25
the portholes are not fitted yet, (to be mounted after final painting of hull), but the hull is drilled in the oppropriate places, and the upper two rows will have "eyebrows", to keep the porthole glasses clear
The unsymmerical tubing for the aft anchorchain is set and stb-side has the upper bow-decoration attached
Nils
I am satisfied with the dull black hull color
front bow decoration as shown / made in the last post
the number of portholes and positions are corresponding with the overview drawing

thanks to Kevin, Ed,
and all the "likes", for the nice comments and interest in the log....
Kevin,
hope you can find a bit more time to relax and enjoy your ship modeling, I found this time after my retirement..
Ed,
you`re so right Ed, sometimes a look at the Close-ups disguises something raising the question: redo or mend it, will it look at me afterwards, or leave as is...., at least save it under " Things to pevent and avoid next time"...

Hi everyone
Many thanks for all the Likes and comments, all of which are greatly appreciated!
Well, tonight, I took a break from painting the hull because I needed to get the exact position of the stern door; as its location has a significant impact upon the rest of the build. Better to get it right now, rather than messing about later on. (FYI - You may recall that the stern door leading to the rear hangar is designed to be lowered to form a diving platform and launching deck for Majellan's tender and two jet skis). I then fashioned a temporary mock up of the stern door from balsa, which can be seen in some of the photos below. Inside the hull, I simulated the metal deck of the engine room and hangar floor, with some metal sheeting that I bought from the from the local hobby shop this morning. The sheet already came with a pattern that replicates a full sized non-slip metal surface, which was perfect for my needs ...I hope I'm making sense!
Here are the results.
Cheers
Patrick

Thank you very much Bob,
I am already quite curious to see your "Pequot" Steamer under planking, and hopefully prepared for a fine plating Job....
I`m sure that you are going to do a wonderful Job...
