i had taken this monday off and decided to finish of the display the front pedestal holds the wiring while teh back one has a screw going into the keel for extra stability fixed the broken rudder too and here is how she looks now the rest of the build she ll be supported by some cut up pool noodle so i dont accidentaly put top much pressure on the pedestals

@Scott thank you . i hope we l be seeing a buildlog of yours too. dont forget because you wetn the same way as me you wil need to adjust the slots in the 3rd deck other wise the smoke stack holes and the edges of the deck wil not line up correctly @ Jim thanks. this one is taking up all my time for now. whem she is finished and i am workign on the endeavour i am pretty sure there is going to be time for me to restart on the stagecoach @ Robbyn thank you this is the part i am loving finishing off and creating all the detail . looking forward to when its all in place on the lower 2 decks and turn on the lights @Sjors its next to the engine room (dont want anyone fallign down the stairs late at night ) i am affraid i only wil be serving belgian beer though
-
Robbyn. for the rigging you already put on, unless you already decided not to do it, is take like a dishwashing sponge cut to a small size dip in some black paint and gently rub it over the lines as for the CA i had a bad reaction awhile ago thats when i decided to use one of the cheap masks i bought for sanding. that does seem to do the trick for me because you breath to the sides which is far enough away from wher eyou are applying the glue to not affect me.

yup John i really love this part btw i just realised i am going to run out of eyebolts very soon. acording to the partlist 30 are needed. a quick calculation : 8 for the doors on deck 1, 8 more for the chains on the 2 openings. 4 for the cable that holds up the first deck, 4 more for the walkway . about 7 more for tying of the walkway . 9 for the walkway with chain itself. 16 for the 4 cables on each of the large smoke stacks. tahts already 56 and i have probably forgotten a few

thanks Sjors Carl and David before i finishing the headposts on the second deck i think i better put the stairs in place i created a shape in a balsa block to make sure i bend the stair railings all the same i wil have to treenail the 3rd deck first before adding those railings headposts on first deck on one side mostly done now except for the front one (need to a bit of touch up paiting on the curved stairs) the decond level i am waiting for the stairs to install look of the first stairs in place

congratulations Andy she looks beautiful
-
looking really great i like those figurines too but did you read their description of the AL kit : plank on frame , double planked, dead eyes,anchors,bilge pump . think they got the wrong descriptions there
-
oh after a bit of study it makes sense Augie, but its more thinking about how to get all that stuff rigged up without my clumsy fingers foiling up the parts that are already done. i do that alot like on the kom (but shhh dont tell) one of the rudders is broken off . i intend to fix it soon as most of the work that needs her on her side is done so i wont break it again

good luck with the changes Sjors. you know i just had a look and you are only about an hour 15 mins drive from where my dad lives. maybe i ll come and visit you (if i have transport there) and help you wiht your ratlines if you are stil lnot finished by then
-
thanks John. so far the lights are still working . i stil need to rethink how i wil be wiring up the back 4 rooms of the 3rd deck stateroom but i am sure i ll find a solution with the 3rd deck on i can now start adding the first and second deck headposts. rememebr thta i made a square hole in the 3rd deck . i am now doign the same on the 3rd deck and then sliding the headposts in. since they curve a bit a 1mm brasswire bit is glued in the bottom to hold it in place you can also see the bit of the small smokestacks that go into the engineroom. i mitre cut the dowel then rounded it a bit to get the bend the 3 struts that i asume are there to give support for the overhanging first deck are also cut and drilled. the last picture shows 3 of the headposts in place

i decided to finish off the steering cabin. all that was left was the wiring. bottom bit. both wires are black as red would have been to noticable. (i marked plus and minus to keep them apart) top. this part can be taken out together with the top of the cabin finished the walk way (i have also added the chains but didnt take a pic of that) finaly after varnishing the second deck and finishing of some of the windows in the doors i have glued the 3rd deck on. it all fits nicely.
-
i didnt notice till you told me. shows that it is not very noticable . i will do the same as you and use those ones for some of the inside railings
-
beautiful. and yeah a tweezer where th ebeak is padded with something would be great . i had the same issue installing th eshutters on my kom . had to get the small brush out to retouch them
-
there certainly is a lot of painting . i am not good at it thats why the kom is perfect almost no painting except the rails and smoke stacks
