Mirabell61 got a reaction from Kevin 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 MD1400cs, and Dan,
the case is done, except for the four bottom metal corners, I should have bought 8 instead of 4, ordered 4 more
Every time a case is complete, I `m glad there was no broken glass during process....
On the KWdG there is still some rigging to be done, I`ll forward a set of final Photos, when all is complete..
Nils
Baseplate with 6 positioning pins and removeable bottom rail of the glas bonnet
corner pin
mid-length pin, the width of the ships own stand base fits well in between those lugs
pins, (screws) clipped off at the rear side
frame, glass and metal corners....
have to mount the four bottom metal corners securely, before the bonnet can be taken off in one part

Thank you very much Denis and Patrick,
these little wooden corners will fit into the inside groove of the bonets bottom rails. The brass sleeves center on the cylindric portion of the screw members sticking upward on the base plate

Denis,
thank you very much for your nice compliments,.....
The case has been started, but then my wifes laundry dryer had a break down for a ripped off drive belt. I ordered a new one which came today, so I spent the remaining afternoon, taking the dryer apart, and searching U-tube and the web for a hint how to get the new belt around the drum and to get it spaned correctly. After 3 hours of sweat running and putting all together again, it works like new, and the admiral is happy.
The glasser did a very good job (exact cutting and all within required tolerances). Yesterday I made the Baseplate of the case with its quaterround concave edge lines all around, and shafted the 4 long beams......, next will be light sanding over, and staining of the wooden parts...

Thanks for catching up Piet,
and for your compliment with the hoompa band.....
I`m just preparing for the production of the custom taylored glass casing. Think I`ll order the cut glass panes (4 mm glass thickness) from the glasser`s shop tomorrow, it takes about a week to get them...
For the design a have a little 1:1 dummy model of the casing bottom corner, in order to show the glasser where close tolerances are required for the cut.
Nils
the long casing profiles 12 x 12 mm come only in 90 cm length, so the four of them have to be shafted and the joint reinforced with 4 mm brass square tube, and glued together. The wooden frame will be stained in cherry tone and dull varnished, like the finished casing in the background
showing the number of elements that go into the casing
the entire 5-sided upper casing can be taken off the base, it will be secured in place with 6 slide pins
the slots for the glass are 4 x 4 mm and appr. 1mm clearance to the glass outside contour (compensation of later expected wood shrinkage)

I once read that that the skilled indonesian boat builders of the actual Puginese Pinisi did`nt even need plans to build the ship...
