I had a slightly oopsie with the catwalk.

That catwalk is particularly well done, Roel!

Delightful work on that catwalk, mate!

Thanks guys, 

 

so time to finish that piece of catwalk, and finally most of the back part of this ship. Note the finished pump dome of Tank 3, the davit was only dry fitted and later on removed again since I was hitting it a lot of times... 

 

 

That little railing on the back was something I hadn't quite thought about in the past. I wasn't planning on placing those, but since I was at it, might as well place it right? 

Valve wheels are also in place now, the only thing left there is a small platform next to the dome with a small stair going to the deck. 

 

Also both cargo tank safety valve (white lines from tank dome 3 to vent mast) are now mounted and painted. 

 

And a larger overview of the whole mess. 

 

 

 

And with a 30cm (1 ft) ruler in front of it. 

 

 

Decided to spend my some remaining time on cleaning up the workshop, including some new furniture etc. instead of continuing on the vessel itself. 

 

Still undecided if I'll keep all the stairs for the end of the construction or if start making them as I go forward. Mass production is boring, but on the other side a lot more efficient... 

 

Looking at what I did the past weeks and what lays ahead I believe that I should be able to finish her in perhaps 1 year?! Depending on other projects and family/home situation of course.

Sort of reminds me of the spaghetti I had for dinner.

Looking great, Roel.  Extraordinary detail - fantastic!
