I planked the two parts leaving room for the middle plank that I added after the two parts where glued in place, leaving no visible gap.

Adrieke got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in King of the Mississippi by Adrieke - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:80 - with LED lighting
on 8/12/13 at 2:30 PM I put the last piece in place
I started this build august 2012
I had 2 months of no building due to hull planks being off the wrong size which meant there weren't enough of them
during the build I decided to add led lighting which added a lot off extra work
a few months ago I also had almost a 2 moth break because of an infection and allergic reactions
during this build I also lost a good friend who was also building this model
finishing the model at times was partially sad and frustrating but I was determined not to give up
now that she is finished I feel a load has lifted and although with every look I take I see the many mistakes I made I feel proud
here a few quick pictures, I will take some better pictures including with lights on for the gallery

little or no progress and I have a dilemma
the picture shows the instructions for the little structure where the doors need to be fixed above the green border
however in real this would mean the doors will go all the way to the top which would be impossible in real
so I can either shorten the doors (they are metal so wont be easy) or I cut slots in the green border so they sit lower
haven't decided yet

hello Carl , the model is about 45 cm long
hi Scott , yes its been awhile
hey Piet nice to see you again too
this week not much progress, still working on the second layer. I struggled a bit with the angle at the stern but got it done on one side , hopefully the other side will be easier.

tonight been doing a bit of soldering work. man that is just not my thing
but i did make progress. just trying to figure out how to hook up the wires
one red wire needs to from right to left to hook up to the first deck lights
a second one to hook up the single led on the right to the back 3
then a black wire to hook up to the end of the 4 circuits on the left

Thanks Carl and Grant
as promised an update on where I am at :
I had a look at what the real Pilar looks like and If possible adapt my build to it. I am a bit confused though as I found pictures of it renovated where they removed most of the air intakes.

Its been awhile but I am finally back to building.
I recently moved and I don't have a workplace anymore at the moment, just a foldable table setup outside.
that's why I got this kit which don't require as much room and I can pack away after I am done building for the day.
So far I have already finished the first planking. I didn't take to many pics but I ll add them in the next post.

WEEK 35 - 36 First layer of planks. this has taken me a fair bit of work and with all the manipulations some of the barrels and crates from the first deck came loose. after I have finished sanding and filling the hull I will try to place them back.
I haven't taken any pictures yet after I finished just a few in progress pictures that shows the wiring in the lower part off the hull
I stained some of the planks on the inside as they will be visible from the other side
