I made the conningtower section that will be seen through the floodholes, maybe the shape is not 100% correct, but that is impossible too see through the floodholes.

looking excellent, and yes, you just need a general shape to see through the holes - it's quite dark in there!

Thanks guys  ;)



I finished the air bottles that will be mounted underneath the deck.
I took 8mm aluminium tube and to get the round ends of an air bottle i glued 4mm thick pieces of plastic on the tube ends.
I gave them the right radius by sanding them with the help of a drilling machine.







I made straps from thin plastic and painted and weathered the bottles.
The salt seawater has left a couple of traces on the bottles.... :D

Beautiful weathering on the airbottles FoxbaT.  That rust looks real.  Not too much, not too little.

Karel, what do you have as guidelines for how wide the ribs are under the casing?  I've seen some differences in some of the models here and since I'm hoping the interior between the pressure hull and the casing is going to be quite visible on mine (I'm making most of the hatches opening), then I'd like to get them right.

Hi Pat

Here a link to my new 'Working drawing' with the ribbing and framing layout.

I have a small question, on the PE diesel exhausts are a couple of louvres/slots.



The PE instruction sheet tells me to bent the louvres, but there is no picture.
I don`t know if i should bent the louvres inside or outside.
Does someone has a picture of this type exhaust?



Thanks...


Karel
