puckotred reacted to Mirabell61 in SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line
Build log part 2
I know it sounds strange to start making the propellers where the hull is not even on the slipway, but I was wondering if I could make them from brass, as they are a typical detail, in the way they were designed 118 years ago......., and as I`ve never seen such model props on the model market, it would be a pitty if I had to fit regular model brass props
I fell in love with these elegant stern lines, designed for speed
here some of the detail parts, in total there are 38 to be made single parts per prop, port- and stb. props rotate counterclockwise with appr. blade twists
raw hub with mounted, drilled and slotted calottes to take up the blades. The slot orientation is set with card template angle jig. The hub raw material is 8 mm squarebar, with centerline boring and M3 thread
blades soldered on and brushed over, the soldering per gas tourch was quite tricky
started to fit the resembled blade fastening bolts with distance sleeves and hexagonal dome nuts. Here six bolts (in actual would be 8 or 10, but that was to tricky for me to drill at that scale...
The actual props had a diam. of 6800 mm, resulting in 47,2 mm model scale 1:144
without bolts....
with bolts
the first prop took me 2 days to make, the second 1,5 day (learncurve)
here original design drawing with 3-blade hub

Thanks Burnside. There's still a lot of frustration concerning scale and accuracy. I've decided to try and not think about it and just go on building.
Lightning for second deck:
I suck at soldering but the wire is secured and glued to the wood. It isn't going anywhere...
Done at last
Awaiting third deck.

The saga of lost proportions continues.
Stairs
Started the railing. The "Guardrail vertical parts" as the parts list state them, are made of really soft white metal. the wire is extremely hard. probarbly the best quality of the whole mess. Impossible to cut with pliers smaller than medium.
Guardrail primed. Stairs totally out of proportions.
Roof attached, LED's working..
The LED's shine through the roof plywood so I'll use sandpaper (grit 800) to simulate tarred paper that the original has.
Hull bottom first stroke of paint.

I have not had the time to update the log lately, but here's some progress:
bottom finished.
Nice warped roof there.
Warping fixed with the vertical bits of Pianowire.
The bridge.
Bridge with LED's
Funnel. The metal sheet supplied was a very thin piece. Impossible (for me) not to buckle it.
Did my own extra pipes as none was supplied in the kit.
This build will be suspended until late autumn as I have other ships to build now that the weather is warmer. Sanding must be done outside. I'll try to up a log of the Pinco Genovese later.

Ahoy, Mates,
Gianna is finished now. And here are some pics from yesterday.
To build Gianna has made a lot of fun. Now I will start the next model, the Statenjacht Utrecht.
Cheers Hartmut

Building the benches in aft of second deck:
Lots of strips (1x1mm) to fit.
Staining. I apply the stain with a brush to give it a little weathering effect.
Next is varnish and then do the rest of the benches along the cabin walls.
Oh, and happy Easter!

puckotred reacted to michael mott in Skipjack by michael mott - 1/8th scale - SMALL - 19 foot open launch
John, Steve, Denis, Druxey, Mark, Lawrence, thanks for your kind remarks. A big thanks also to all who have visited.
The valves and lifters have been a tricky bit of work so far. Had to make a wrench for the reduced sized nuts.
drilling the holes for the taper pins to fix the cams
All the cams are now pinned in place.
here is a video of the valves in motion
