Mirabell61 got a reaction from canoe21 in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Thank you very much John,
your compliment is much appreciated, and I saw you were catching up with the build log, thanks for looking in.
Today I assembled one of those benches ( fiddely stuff I must say ! ), but I think its acceptable with a bit more routine it will do.... Trust Bill and Carl were right with their recommendation to avoid soldering (thanks again Bill and Carl) , The CA connection of parts is strong enough for this.
Also thanks to those for all the " likes"

Update
40 deckchairs and 20 benches in scale 1:144
This is what the good looking filigrane etched build brass kits look like. Will be quite a tough soldering job to get things into the right shape I guess...., have`nt started yet...., may require some holding gig.... If they workout, its worth the effort...
Sorry for the flash reflections on the last three pics

Mirabell61 got a reaction from EJ_L in 3-D Armenia by SalD – Hudson River Sidewheeler, 1847
lovely 3D rendering Sal,
Congratulations,
I wish I could do such skilled and awsome designing with aid of my PC....
I read in your introduction to this project that you are having at least 30 years of Auto Cad experience, and that shows....,
Unfortunately during my active business time I never found someone who was able to describe the way of 3D design thinking in understandable way to me, versa the "old" three views drawings during my time of career. I believe the 3D design is a complete different approach in thinking is`nt it ?

Thanks EJ, I was thinking about doing that but at the moment I don't know how. I'll need to do research on the subject.
Thanks Wayne, I think the boiler has one large relief valve that I'm working on now.
Thanks Nils and I agree with you in that although 3D design drawings are nice and you can show the client a pretty picture you can't really building anything from them. You still need simple 2D drawings showing plan views and elevations. Maybe I'm too old fashion and that's why it took me 30 years to learn 3D.

thanks Nils.........I wanna be as good as you when I grow up I see some of the stuff you do ....and I'm blown away. the marriage of wood and metal is really cool.......time to add some to this build. thanks for the good word
I hope you all enjoyed my little bit of creative writing in the heading.........I think back to when I started, and I got caught up in the moment

Thanks Carl,
I have no doubts with the deck-sitting furniture, its the style of the era and looks good regardless to the ships name. Besides that I was pleased to find any at all in this scale . There were some benches in plastic (train gauge N ), but they did`nt find my approval....

Thanks Bill,
much appreciated your suggestion,
think I´ll sacrifice one of the etched parts for trials, if I should loose confedence, the CA stands ready anyhow...

Carl,
thanks for your kind comment...., I´ve been thinking of that alternative in using CA as well, in fact the manufacturer of these parts recommends the use of super glue..

Thanks very much Bob,
yet I`m a bit anxoius to start the soldering of those tiny, thin parts. In this case even a drop of solder would be too much, I am thinking of using tiny portions of soft solder paste (flux already mixed by) in scarce limited dosis aplication. I remember using this once for gas tourch soldering 0,4 mm brass railing wire to stanchions on the "Heinrich Kayser" steamer model. Will do some trials first....
