Wonderful work, Adriaan.   The lights are the Pièce de résistance and make it something special.  I'm surprised to hear the bar is now open.... I would have figured not until launch.

[Sjors]

Do you see Mark running to the bar?????????????

 

I think he is thirsty           

 

[Adrieke]

thanks Piet ust take a seat Sjors will be over soon with your drink

 

thanks Rowand

 

thanks Jim yup sure feels good and certainly now I think I solved the last problem

 

thanks mobsie

 

thanks Mark. well I need something to keep the guest quiet while I build when she launches there will be champagne

 

don't worry plenty of beers for everyone

 

 

no pictures (sorry forgot)  but I have figured out how to hook up 3rd deck to the second deck so I can easily remove it even with the smokestacks and all I installed:)

 

 

 

[Adrieke]

so this is the idea

 

I will drill 3 holes in this part I made to cover up the wiring. through this holes will go the pins that are fastened to the 3rd deck

 

underneath 3 connectors will be glued that hook up to the wiring module

 

when the 3rd deck is bolted down the pins will make contact with the connectors

 

[Anja]

Sounds good Adriaan,

 

I hope it works out the way you planned.

Good luck.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 

[Sjors]

My fingers are also crossed for you Adriaan.

But I have all the confidence in you !

Soon at the rigging             

 

[Micklen32]

Best of luck with that Adriaan

I am sure it will come together

 

My Taxi parts are in the box with the Endeavour and that is due to arrive Tuesday so I reckon I should have the taxi finished by the end of next week

I hope 

 

Keep it up 

Mick

[Adrieke]

hmm my earlier post seems to be gone

 

thanks for all the confidence Anja, Popeye SJors and Mick

 

testing the connections

 

using toothpicks to see if the connections align

 

perfect

 

after fitting the metal pins i hooked up everything and voila :

AWESOME!!!!  Looks really good.  Great job, Adrian - now for the working paddle wheel.... :D

[Adrieke]

lol Wayne not this time but if I ever make a paddle wheeler again I will . I did have a look at the gearboxes from Tamiya when I was in the hobbystore but its too difficult to put it in

[Anja]

Hello Adriaan,

 

She looks fantastic with the lights on.

 

Anja

[Shazmira]

Beautiful Adriaan, just beautiful. Give yourself a pat on the back!!!!

[Micklen32]

Great job Adriaan

It certainly came together well

It gives the model another dimension

Very well done   

 

Keep it up   

Mick

[lamarvalley]

Those lights really look great. I'm with Robbyn, give yourself a big pat on the back.

[Adrieke]

thanks Wayne and Anja

 

thanks Robbyn and Randy. but i ll do that when its all permanently in place and still working  

 

thanks Mick  it does look nice  hoping i can get better pictures as my cmaera is not good at night pictures

 

[4whelr]

Adrieke,

That is sooo neat! The lighting "brings her to life". Makes it easy for me to imagine all the passengers and crews going about their activities at night. So which room has the old Riverboat Gambler got his game going in?

Eddie

[Adrieke]

thanks Eddie

 

bar and  gambling tables are on deck 2

[Sjors]

He my post is gone….        

 

I just wanna say that it looks great !

It's just the cherry on the cake…...

I don't ask you to give your self a patch on the back or you gonna have a blue spot on your back

Mark Sjors already has been pulling fingers in another topic

[mtaylor]

I realized, Adriaan, that I misplaced my post and deleted it... been a long day... <sigh>

[popeye the sailor]

with me,  I just forget to hit the post button.   nice job Adrieke.....the lights work like a charm!   the "night " pictures came out good enough, but plan on better ones for the finished presentation........Hee.....Hee!

[Adrieke]

thank you Popeye . yup I plan on getting better pictures once I have it all permanently secured

 

 

[Micklen32]

Hi Adriaan

You should be able to get a good photo if you have the camera on a little tripod or something solid to get the right shot

Then turn off the flash, use it on auto and also use the shutter delay so you are not close when it goes off   

That should do the job nicely

 

Started the log for the Endeavour BTW

 

Keep it up   

Mick

[Adrieke]

I got no tripod but i ll figure something out

[lamarvalley]

Put the camera on a stack of books or a sturdy table, pre-focus and touch the shutter ever so gently.... might take a few tries but as long as the camera doesn't move when the shutter is open then it's picture time... Yea!!

[4whelr]

thanks Eddie

 

bar and  gambling tables are on deck 2

I'll be on deck 2 should anybody need me!

I really like what your doing with this build!!

Eddie

[Adrieke]

i will give it a go this weekend Randy

 

thanks Eddie and you are in good company there i even think Sjors brought his popcorn machine with him
