Adrieke

looking forward to seeing the result of your little scratch project

thanks Randy I hope I was smart enough to make it all turn out ok

I am still a fair bit away from scratch building . at the moment I don't think there will be many changes on the GF but  maybe she ll have some lights on her too

thanks Carl

still working on the 3rd deck glueing the curved walls and all in place so wiring is still not done. maybe tonight i can start

a view of the LED's installed and ready for soldering

finishing trenailing the last deck

you are correct Anja

next one :

thanks Anja

yes they are drinking straws . it will keep the wiring where I want it to be

thanks Sjors

I should have all lights working soon

finished drilling the holes to the right size also added two more false walls this will make it I will only need 2 tubes to the bottom and will mean less wiring underneath

parts all painted . when they are dry the wiring wil begin

the 2 tubes to guide the wiring seen from above and below

I agree it looks really good Robbyn

maybe after the GF I ll be ready for a scratch Sjors

Scott yes the head posts lean in as the top deck is slightly less wide. the angles get even more awkward at the front and back curves which makes fitting the railings and the triangles a bit annoying

I will try Carl but I want to finish her especially now

I am typing this with tears in my eyes

farewell my friend , I will miss your encouragement and your good nature , MSW will not but the same without you for me.

my condolences to Suzanne and family

very nice work Greg and thanks for the rigging pdf

"Excusa! Esta too mucho rapido for the eyes to follow? I'll show you in el slow motiono."      :P  

very nice work 

hey Mick. yes to hide and support the wiring . the endeavour wil be a nice build  and i l be looking forward to seeing your log

thanks popeye

thanks Keith   i am not too bad but sometimes the itching still drives me crazy  . i have learned a lot from other buildlogs so i hope explaining it all wil help others even if its mostly how not to do things

tanks Carl i thought i was going slow

marked out all the walls and ceiling bits to cut out of 1.5mm plywood

and after  cutting, bit of sanding and drilling the holes for the lights

tomorrow cleaning up the pieces more enlarging the holes and then paint one side white

then its ready to add the wiring

thanks David i am better now

MSW 2.0 shoudl come with a warning like foodproducts: " may contain traces of nuts"      

nice work Mobbsie i have never done coppering but it seems very difficult in getting each piece nicely lined up

haha Sjors will take a bit longer there is still lots to do . i have to rethink the second deck stateroom wiring construction as i am having trouble putting it back in but dont worry i will sort that out soon

thanks David me too because then i can relax and slowly finish her off

thanks Randy i promise you wont need to wait too long

thanks Mick i made it more difficult then it can be just because i dont trust on it breakign down easily so i made it i can repair wiring if necessary but that has required me to think a lot. do you want to walk the plank Mick    dont worry there are no sharks around

thanks Jim i am particualr wanting to see how the sterring cabin one will look

Sjors don't worry you are very understandable even after 5 years here and reading novels in English and IT manuals ( that was before windows was born and anything IT was only available in the English language) I still make a lot of mistakes

didn't do much today except finalising what I am going to do with the wiring in the 3rd deck stateroom

the picture below shows my intentions :

the red square parts will be 1.5 mm thick plywood that will hold the wiring . the red circles will be little tubes through which the wiring will be guided from below the deck and will be invisible from outside . the green line is the wiring itself.

to guide the wiring from the middle 2 rooms to the 2 back ones I will add a bit of wood on each side of the  middle wall so that it will lie between those 2 and invisible from the 2 high windows.

I am hoping tomorrow to draw and cut out all the pieces of ply wood (including the 2 new curved walls)

for the 4 tubes I ll use cut off drinking straws

happy Birtday Caroline

the fun is in the search not googling the image and have it straight away

and i am learning a lot about ship types and all so i get soemthing out of it

lol i mean David that i dont forsee any problems . knowing my luck murphy is going to prove me wrong

thanks Jim and yes a diving board i blame Sjors and early mornign in not picking that up 

thanks Randy. yup still a lot more to do but apart from the wiring its all just routine
