hervie Posted October 11, 2016 Share #1503 Posted October 11, 2016 Beautiful work, Nils. As always. Coincidentally I run into some historical references to the Grosse which might be of interest: April,1897 "The world was growing more chaotic and speeding up. Rudyard Kipling could be spotted in his six-horsepower motorcar thundering around at fifteen miles an hour. The race among the great shipping companies to see whose liners could cross the Atlantic in the shortest time intensified and grew more and more costly as the size and speed of each ship increased and as the rivalry between British and German lines became freighted with an ever-heavier cargo of national pride. In April 1897 at the Vulcan shipyard in Stettin, Germany, thousands of workers raced to prepare the largest, grandest, fastest oceanliner yet for its launch on May 4, when it would join the stable of ships owned by North German Lloyd Line. Everything about this new liner breathed Germany’s aspiration to become a world power, especially its name, Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, and its decor, which featured life-size portraits of its namesake and of Bismarck and Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke. The launch was to be overseen by Kaiser Wilhelm II himself." "Thunderstruck, by Erik Larson, Broadway Books, 2006" I am reading your entire log from page one to get an idea of what's involved in building this type of ship from scratch. It is definitely a project beyond my capabilities ... but maybe one day , Omega1234, captainbob, Mirabell61 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely a project beyond my capabilities ... but maybe one day , Hervie, thank you for your interest in the KWdG, and for your compliment. As I mentioned in the introduction to this build, I was also fascinated by this liner built way back in 1897, and somewhat amazed to see one day that there was a card model for experienced model card-builders. I unfortunately do`nt have the steady hands and the patience to build a card model myself in this category, but one day had the idea to see if it would be possible, (amoungst other information) to scratch-build a model in a larger scale, and then the project was born and under steam. Problem was that the card model set for comparism was completely sold out, and it took me some months to finaly search and detect an used (but unbuilt) edition via Ebay Nils Edited October 12, 2016 by Mirabell61 Piet, Martin W, ggrieco and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpeteru Posted October 12, 2016 Share #1512 Posted October 12, 2016 First saw this build when it was in its inception and followed it through the Propellor builds, Have not re-visited untill today, when I read the complete build log in one session, some 5 to 6 hours. I can say is that it is simply "amazing". The solutions to problematic areas are ingeneous the mind simply bogels.

EdT Posted October 12, 2016 Share #1513 Posted October 12, 2016 Another little known historical fact: When Orville and his sister Katherine Wright sailed to France to join their brother Wilbur who had been in negotiations with the French government for the sale of the Wright brothers "flyer" in early 1909, they sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. Sorry, but the plane went over earlier with Wilbur on the Campania.

Mirabell61 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share #1516 Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) update... been building the two bases for the machine-room skylights, above the engine room shaft, that bear each six ventilation skylight housings with again each 6 panel flaps. So that will be in total 36 opening flaps with each 4 round light openings ( 36 flaps x 4 = 144 "portholes") This surely will take some time from now on. The flaps will be made from 8 mm wide brass strip, and the "portholes" like I usualy do it... Nils sample of this detail borrowed of a card build model from the web..... trying for the right hole pattern (4 holes) per panel. The upper 4 ones look OK. The hole-frames are made from shortend hollow rivets and soldered on to the panel The green tape is for preventing the bottom ventshaft rings to slip off and get lost Edited October 14, 2016 by Mirabell61 popeye the sailor, Blue Ensign, ggrieco and 22 others 25 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
