Good evening everyone

 

this cabin i think is called the chicken coup, no idea why, and i dont think chicken are involved i still have to purchase some smaller portholes to finish it off and paint it

the fwd house has had to be scratched, as it kind of exploded, after several attempts to salvage it i gave up and made a new one, not brilliant but looks ok

good evening everyone

 

thank you for comments and likes

 

the forward wheel house is still getting attention, having learnt to solder on the bluebell build it has paid dividends on the brass canopy

good evening everyone

 

i redid the derrick mast, 40mm to long was something that was going to look a bit stoopid, one on the right is the correct length

IMG_9389.thumb.JPG.e93d34c3540401d465b1bc46bcc44d12.JPG

 

the funnel has been stripped back of colour 

IMG_9358.thumb.JPG.6ee692b5970f38e005122cdccbd52681.JPG

 

the stern railings are now in position, although the capping has still to be sanded down 

IMG_9393.thumb.JPG.031f137de3c19d3e5bddd898f28cdf53.JPG

 

the stern lifeboat davits have also been made up and inplace but not fixed

This is superb work mate,   when a model turns from just being that - a model to an engineering  piece of work  - takes it to another level.

good evening everyone

 

after deck awning stanchion

the instructions, say 40mm bend 5mm and hammer flat the last 2mm and drill  1mm hole in the flat bit x 12

must be a better way, so i took 35mm bend 5 and added a pintle on the end by soldering x 12, these will be added to the build this week, lol i see so many snag hazards later on with the rigging, im going to curse this so very much

i dont know what these look out posts are called, but again i have replaced gluing with soldering, there is not a lot of room for them, i will have to shorten the hand rail by a couple of mmIMG_9416.thumb.JPG.7b69fcaf982970e06aa7f21f43213cfc.JPGIMG_9419.thumb.JPG.d5044284c9953d708960d00ace3af9e6.JPGIMG_9423.thumb.JPG.bb054bc1f22c19f56c3dfb59849bfffc.JPGIMG_9426.thumb.JPG.30ac6870305e37ff924638065a0262e0.JPGIMG_9428.thumb.JPG.254f9f63ad88f60fec06c364fa206ac0.JPG

storage boxes once yellow have been put pack to wood, with a brass securing band

Amerigo first , but the list at present is down to three, a nice big scale clipper, not found one yet

the ferry Norland/Norstar by linkspan Linkspan Models

but really fancy the Carrier Hermes, by Sirmar but just might be far to much scratch for me, plus the problem with me building aircraft,

Hermes was a gorgeous ship  pre/post  Falklands with ski ramp,   I missed seeing her at Pompy a few times when I was down there either for the Navy Days or Training with the Navy  (told you about that)   and at nearly 8 feet long  wow would she be a Stunner.

good evening everyone

well thats the awning stanchions and the lower part of the davits now in place, not much of an update, but someone might be interested

 

the awnings were made up in post 77, and were fitted directly into the hull and a bracket 

 

the davits are one piece with inserted into a collet, then drilled and 1mm wire inserted, this again is inserted into the hull and with another bracket,

 

stbd side tomorrow

good evening everyone

 

on the stern, all the awnings are in place along with the lower part of the davits, each time i look at others builds i see more detail to be added

Midships is now getting the attention, another set of stairwells, and hatch ways are now in place

the Kit 8 arrived today for the masts, i bought it as the replacement parts i wanted came far more expensive and not all available

That brass work is absolutely fantastic. Nice job!  Are you going to leave as is?  If so, do you plan to coat them with anything?  Not sure if brass tarnishes, etc.

 

Looking great!
