Very nice start. These are really nice boats.

[robert1965]

The first doors hang back in, it is still quite small again all.

Is still a challenge. 

[Sjors]

Hi Robert,

 

Your door just look real.

You did a good job on that !

 

[robert1965]

I made the hinges a little ​black.

It still looks better I think.

 

 

[S.Coleman]

Around the bottom where the walls meet the deck I put a small strip to act as skirting, and hide the gap. It worked out well.

[Adrieke]

[dragzz]

Dragzz, nothing has been glued yet the upper deck is just whether it fits into the holes.

In any case, thanks

Here is another update from the build s far.




 

For the rest of the first areas on the deck so far taken off, the doors of the rear I found not so nice and have made ​​other.

At the front part a finishing lath is placed to hide. The chinks

Hi Robert,

 

Very, very nice.

The doors are just looking excellent !

What are you using for the glazing? ( windows )

the door glass is plastic, and have the lines cut with a knife.

the lines painted black, and clean the plastic with water.

The past week the 2nd deck planking lists put around it, it's just a shame you can not see 80% of the deck later :(

 

 

 

 

 

The mount for the radar fitted.

 

[Sjors]

Hi Robert,

 

That planking looks very good.

If you don't see it anymore, we know that it is there !

Hi Robert, you have done a very good job on those decks. they look very good. Have you considered installing some form of lighting to perhaps allow the to be seen?

[S.Coleman]

I never bothered with planking the deck that you will never see. Saved a lot of wood in the process and you never know because you can't see it.

I found it easier to shut down a whole deck I find that little extra wood not so bad.

Richard,

 

I'm not lighting installation in the ship.

It will be quite nice but do not use it yet.

Had been a while but here again a few pictures of the progress.

 

In this deck the veneer applied to the wall and the recesses for the windows made ​​smaller because the windows are much smaller than the recesses.

 

 

 

Some painting on the paddle-wheels 1 ready 3 to go.

Andrieke,

 

I checked the doors, which were well tailored.

[Adrieke]

looks really good . the extra framing of windows and doors makes it look so much better

[robert1965]

Just an experiment done with some paint and a window in color.

I like the color of the glass,it is not bad and I think I'm about to leave it.

 

 

 

All this thanks to my friend WORKLIGHT, otherwise with this kind of things it is almost impossible. (at least for me  )

I'm going to make the windows darker i think,
because the windows  from the 1st deck looks very dark too.
