Norwegian Plastic

And the turtle my daughter made❤️

Tonight was decal-time. Big milestone for the project because this was the last part to be added before I start on the ropes and gaffs/booms. The kit decals were not stored well and were both shabby and bent. Had a local company scan them and make pre- cut letters. The Syren rope will arrive in a month or so and a break in the project will occour…

Today I added the life buoys. Not perfect but better than sugested in the instructions where they where supposed to be tied to the railings…

Yesterday I started  to test fit the railings. Need some better quality white rope…

An update on the boat: A lot of small things have been added:

Also made som stash that can be used when displayed:

Added something to see through the windows, an axe and a fire extinguisher😂

And there is light! Finally testing all LED’s together, that is a milestone😃

More shrouds and lanyards today😂

Last days I have been making shrouds from 1,2 mm stainless wire.

Started to add some wire, scratch building shackles and serving with black line.

Built a basic serving machine to make the standing rigging👍🏻

Well, I gave up on the fiber, they were hard to bend in the restricted room inside the mast. Used 3 mm flathead leds inside the lanterns and soldered a 2 mm brass tube wich cables are running trough.

Working on the main mast.

More work on the sailors👍🏻

Working on the lanterns, they need some more sanding so I have to repaint them…

Trying to fit optic cables for the three lights at the top of main mast🙈

Glued with epoxy and the dressings are from the Tamiya doctor👍🏻

Maybe something like this?

Working with the man…

It is starting to look like a boat!

Getting crowded in there. Still 3 more servo’s and battery for lightning and the pump, buck converters and pwm for the flow of cooling water to install. All lightning in lanterns will be fed with 1 mm optic cables and central lightning will be yellow leds. Rudder and motor is installed and working😃
