still no news from the hobystore. it just a small effort to send an email to let me know if they put the request in for the replacement parts. sigh. anyway i couldnt resist having a look at the false keel (no SJors i am not starting her yet ) its in 3 parts which means i ll have to be make sure its all straigth i was surprised at the length of her as you can see in the picture she is fair bit bigger then my mississippi

haha thats as good a reason as any btw how is it in Beveren-waas ? used to have a computer store near the church in Beveren

thanks John and Randy the opinion here was divided too. i decided to go with the glass door. partialy because it was easier to make. partialy because that was how the original ones look. i have finished the second door . the glas is done the same way as the ones on the first deck (scratched then painted black to get a diamond pattern). everything on that side is done so i could add the shutters and then touch them up where i scratched the paint of by accident.

oh i doubt she would float after finishing the holes on one side i figured i try out to see if i can make the door a bit better: first and easiest is framing the door. making the curve for the top with sapelliu though is a nightmare and if you look good you can see it broke in the middle but i am hoping all the railings in front wil make it unnoticable then i add the middle frame and the solid part on the bottom (this is from 1x4 mm sapelli) then the 2 horizontal frames follow to finsih the left side do the same on the right side and then finish off with glueing the window to the back here are both of the doors. any comments on which one looks the better ?
-
like you i am enjoying most of it . you will finish her long before me my friend and i enjoy watching yours come together.

to make the 3x3 holes i first mark it on the deck then use a bit of plywood underneath to prevent splintering the wood then use a 3mm drill wiht my pinvise to slowly drill the hole since i was unable to get some needle files from my local hobby store ( the supplier didnt deliver any and i cant tell you an eta when i wil have them so i use the tip of this squae file once the hole is big enough i use the 3x3 wood dowel with brass wire at the bottom to push through too and with th eprecut railing parts make sure its sqaured off before pushing the brasswire into the lower deck to mark where to drill the1 mm holes takes me about 10 - 15 minutes per hole . over the 2 decks i ll need to drill about 40 of them

John if you are interested there is a documentary about this machine and others sunday on ONe HD. -
thank you Jim thanks Sjors. this was just a dry fit to see how it would look. i am drilling th e holes first then finish off the doors and shutters.install the 2 stairs. varnish the second deck. install the lights then i can glue the 3rd deck. drill th eholes there and then i can finaly install the railings . so still weeks to go before that. but there are a lot of railings to install but not as many as you have ratlines to make thank you WIm . i had visions of me knocking down the railigns while building or while handling her and then i thought of doing it this way
-
no worries John i have started on drilling and squaring out the 3x3 mm holes through the 2nd deck : the bottom of the poles have a 1mm brasswire atached to fit in a 1 mm hole so that the whole construction is sturdy. once the 3rd deck is one i will make the smae 3x3 mm holes there then cut off the pole drill a 1 mm hole in that to fix the top part on. this because the poles are not at a 90 degree angle except on top
