+17°C (62.6°F) down here.  You should be experiencing a chinook any time now!

 

She is really looking good (just to be clear I am referencing the model) 😁

Thanks Alan! Coming along slowly... supposed to be back above 0 by next week...

Would the inside of the wheelhouse be painted white?

That is a thought... photos show the exterior was painted white, same as the hull. The original structure was stained or varnished, and this finish is still seen on the lobby and head that remain behind the cabin area. There was a likelihood that the interior was also stained and varnished, that was a common practice and it is how the ship is finished today. Another, less likely, possibility is that it was painted buff... 

Appreciate your thoughts!
