Jim Lad got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
Michael, you've certainly got a lot done in the two weeks I've been away - she's looking superb.
What do you mean when you say that the lifeboat fall rigging is illogical? I can't see any details in your current photos, but overall they look OK to me.

Jim Lad got a reaction from tasmanian in SD-14 by Kevin - Marcle Models - 1/70 - CARD - cargo ship forward section
Kevin, Just a little more food for thought. I remembered that I had some photos of a beautiful cutaway model of the MV 'Kingsville' in the Norwegian Maritime Museum at Oslo.
They may give you some inspiration.

Kevin, being a 'break-bulk' carrier (model technicalese for 'not a container ship') she could have been carrying anything and everything - often all at the same time. Cargo is stowed according to where it will fit in best; where it doesn't adverse the stability of the ship; for ease of access at the discharge port; where it doesn't interfere with working other parcels of cargo and compatibility with other cargo in the hold. If she were on a charter to carry bulk cargos, the ceiling would have been removed to make discharging the bulk cargo easier.

Kevin,
No 'lining' as such. The inside of the hold was either simply bare frames, as in the photo below of one of my old ships - in this case a bulk sugar carrier
or, if the cargo was a little more sensitive, wooded 'ceiling' - battens spaced along the sides of the hold as in the photo below from the web.
