Nils made some scaled brass steering columns, comprising the column, the reduction gearbox, hole for the wheel and the reservoir for the hyraulic oil. In German they are called "Telemotor", and actually the steering-wheel remote operates the hydraulic circuit for actuators on the steam valves far back stern where the steam powered steering mechanics sits under the waterline, within the tail cone area. wheel axis and wheel still missing here..., one for the bridge, one for the "monkey`s island"....

This time I masked the white bridge bulwark with Tamiya tape first, (horizontal line) and then slipped the pre-bent glue-applied profile into place, with out problems.

shipmodel Posted April 20, 2017 #2217 Posted April 20, 2017 Hi Nils Sweet work, as always. KWdG will make a wonderful and beautiful addition to your home. For situations like adding the molding to the bridge, I find that this method works for me: First, I shape the piece and dry fit it. When I am satisfied with the fit I clamp it into place with small clips. Once perfectly aligned, I tack it in place by introducing thin cyano in a few selected spots. It runs behind the piece by capillary action and any excess I quickly blot away with a light swipe of paper towel. When that first gluing is set, I remove the clips and check alignment again. If all is still OK I feed thin cyano all along the edge of the piece, blotting as before. No mess, no smeared paint, no glued fingertips. Hope this is useful for you.
