Good morning all, my good freind Neil is going to help me by posting some pics of the work done on this model in that past few weeks, I thhink we may see them following this message ( Thanks Mate ! )
Been three weeks since last post of anything done on this one, got the cabin top wrapped up, several layers of wood, some glass cloth, a bit of paint, some rivets, running lights ( had to make them, none suitable out there ) and horn.
Had to scratch build the search light, the body is a brass "bead", the protective grating is from another kit, had to make the "U" shaped bracket from strip brass stock.
Windows are in, not easy to find scratch free material.
Funnels are mounted to the fore deck.
Still have mast and mast mount to make, it has to be able to fold down ( as we know these boats have to go under Very low bridges in real work life. )
Need to make some sort of working crane for the boat and still trying to figure out an appropriate tow bar ( if it's to have one at all ).
sailing season here is about done so the "race" to finish it this year is over.
