Before I forget about it once more, I want to tell you that I've decided to drop the idea of making parts of the interior.
Only the wheelhouse will still get interior (as that has a way higher emotional value as being my favourite place aboard the ship).
The main reason for this decision is that the helicopter deck brings quite some weight and force onto the superstructure (but not the wheelhouse), requiring a construction that can keep those forces in place.
The 2 cabins which were already under construction will be finished and placed on the boat stand, where they can show in a much easier way how the crew lives aboard modern day ships.
Now on to today's last update:
The designer has kept me in mind when designing the wheelhouse, as he made me a nice couch where I could sit down in my favourite place on the ship.
This is the start of making the couch.
Lowered the escape hatch on the bow, and filled it with glue hoping that could help making the top side level.
I decided to make the pillows by glueing 2 sheets of plastic to each other, which will be shaped later on.
There will be 2 couches for 2 persons each, and in between them there is a table, so who will join for a cup of coffee?...
Couldn't stop working on this beauty, but the result looks pretty good isn't it?
This makes me feel happy, I CAN DO THIS TOO!!!!!
Says a very happy person (I wander what would have caused the happiness??).
Added some more parts to the couch (you all know precisely how I made it...).
Now I need to poor some wood glue in it, and then some paint and then the couch will look like the real thing.
Added the pole to the seat bottom and rail-system.
