Hello Ship model builders... I am Puckotred from Göteborg and this is my third model and the first without sails. A picture of the real thing: From Atlastmodels: (With some minor corrections from me) "The steamship S/S Bohuslän was built at Eriksbergs shipyard in Gothenburg 1913. For more than 40 years the traffic route of Bohuslän was between Göteborg- Lysekil-Smögen-Gravarne (Kungshamn) on the Swedish west coast. Later it was used as a ferry between Sweden and Denmark and between Sweden and Norway until it was taken off to be scrapped in 1963. A number of enthusiasts decided to rescue it and restored Bohuslän to its original condition and is still running it in the west coast archipelago in the summertime. " Build size: 95 x 16 x 40 cm. Made by Türkmodel on behalf of NCB – Nordic Class Boats So let's start with the unboxing: Presentation: Box: Lid off: Closeup of metal cast fittings etc: The other half. on the right are the davits (or "lifeboat hangers" as the instructions state them) made of "plexiglass". The stuff underneath: Curtains!!!!: Wire and aluminium foil(?!) for the funnel: "plexiglass" OK for the windows but the small sheet on top is for the winch and sunroofs. To be continued...
