Hi Nils

 

The skylight with its sparkling panes of glass is like the KWDG's 'jewel in the crown". 

 

Nice!

 

Cheers

Thank you Patrick,

 

it was indeed a little mass production (37 ea.) of tiny square brass plates and square windowframes, and soldering these together, but I think the effort was worth it....

G'day Nils

Just when I thought it was impossible to improve on greatness.... THEN YOU DONE THIS!

Simply fantastic in both workmanship and I assume patience.

It's the crowning glory to a wonderful model.

We are privilege to see what you can do.

Such ingenuity Nils, but that's what we have come to expect from you

Thank you very much Denis, and B.E.

for you kind comments...

 

the nearly midship bridge platform goes over the whole ship width and allows a good sight alongsides for the crew (and passengers).

There still needs to be the upper railing attached and the platform fitted out.

The dark grey horizontal tank with the two vents on top, is the one for daily warm water and is heated by exhaust gasexchanger of the second funnel

On the platform where the tank is standing on, there are brought in 4 interlocked eyelets with counter flat heads from below to take up some of the appropriate funnel stays safely

 

Also many thanks to all the "Likes"

Great progress Nils, I follow along but often without feeling the need to comment, but the speed at which you get this work done always amazes me.

That's a fine little model all of it's own.  The detail in the water barrel is beautiful.

 

Bob

[Mirabell61]

Thank you very much Denis, Michael and Bob

Nils,

That ladder is the best so far, and very crisp detail on the tank. As mentioned by someone before: A model on itself. You make Remco's signature come true

 

Cheers

[juzek]

[Piet]

Many thanks Carl, Juzek and Piet,

[John Allen]

Nils,

 

I am always awed by your (I call them a build within a build, builds) the mid-ship build as stated earlier is a model in itself. Not to offend fellow modelers but your work is the cleanest and most precise when it comes to building and assembling the myriad number of additions that comprise your build. :im Not Worthy:

[Mirabell61]

Welcome on board John,

and thanks for your kind compliment, much appreciated......

I`m often looking at old pics and photographs of the ship, life on its decks, etc. , to find out some of the details...

 

Nils

[flying_dutchman2]

Nils,

Caught up with your built...... WOW amazing details and as Cog said 'crisp'. He is right on that one.

One word, AWESOME

 

Marcus

[Mirabell61]

Hi Marcus,

good to hear from you, thanks for looking in...., I`m glad you like build...

 

Am meantime jumping on to the next section and sequence...
