Alex M Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share #74 Posted September 16, 2013 Hi guys, thanks you all for warm words! Nearly nothing time to work at the model, so only a small update. The chains are now completted. The next task is the bulkheads of cabins, so here the doors under construction. The door windows are done the same way as at the stern, but here I have glued wood strips at both sides of plastic sheet. The images show the making step by step.
