Kevin 3,967 Posted Wednesday at 06:03 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:03 PM good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes i was trying to reduce my updates to every other day, but i miss the being part of the community (if that makes any sense), yep i miss someone to talk to other than the wife or the dog, one of them is not that interested in what im building, the other one is asleep under the desk day 66 midships upper deck box girders with port and stbd transverse beams done 3 hours cutting out, cutting slots and folding the upper deck consists of about 180 pieces and took me two days build time (about 8 to 10 hours) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Steve 14,252 Posted Wednesday at 06:13 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:13 PM Im waiting for the deck to go on... bouncybouncybouncybouncy 😬 Really Kevin, you could at least let your wife sleep on the couch... 😬 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin 3,967 Posted Thursday at 06:31 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:31 PM good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 67 its just an illusion having completed the after and midships section web frames (port) i need to start closing in the stbd side, i am not sure how to do this, in the cutaway format however before that CARGO last night i decided she would basically be a builders merchant carrier, and carry items of that nature, so to keep the weight down aft i went for pipes leaving the shaft tunnel free, as i want that to be seen this is the best i can think of for now 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hutch6390 941 Posted Thursday at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:29 PM Great idea with the pipes, Kevin 👍. Some balsa timber would also fit the bill, and maybe some crates/packing cases made from (call me Mr Radical!) card? 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin 3,967 Posted 6 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 6 hours ago good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 68 the illusion continues the pipe loadout continues and I now have something that resembles a image i had in me mind so now the frames for the port side can go in straps are elastic bands styrene rods with the glass from the Amerigo Vespucci port holes as post caps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
