Hello Alan. Congratulations on starting with a new hobby!
Aтв you are right, everything starts on getting proper drawings, plans, cut-views and a bunch of pictures.

SS Michelangello actually almost don't have any railings, instead ше has a partitions that makes things more easy. And yes, everything else is basically only paper.

Thank you friends!
Brief update, an upper-structure decks and frames are in one piece. It contain formers of 2mm thickens probably enough for another hull assembly

Hi Herky,

What a coincidence - these are very near the top of my 'pile'!

We should start a thread elsewhere perhaps?

What scale are you working on?

Regards,
Alan

Hello Fellows!

very long time since been here.
Came to show that project is not dead yet, although barely moving.

The layout of windows and doors is almost finished. One more step closer...

It really looks brilliant!!
Will you cut the lattice pattern from the funnels as they are, or is it another job to design the lattice and fit around it?

Maybe you could post a pic from the opposite corner? I am curious to see what the front of the accommodation looks like.

You really did such an excellent job designing the Canberra - the hull shape is so splendidly reproduced. As you know from Marcos build recently, it makes into a superb model. I’m building one myself but at a fraction of the speed that Marco can manage since I am building it on board ship as a little (or not so little!) cabin craft hobby! Even though I have only completed keel and frames it already shows the shape quite faithfully even in my hands!

Are you looking for photos of the ship to be able to complete the model?

Regards,
Alan

Thank You Alan!

the lattice are already prepared - a laser cut part from cardboard, you can see at page-1 of this thread.

I actually didn't knew Macro is building Canberra, thanks for reminding. As I mentioned before, haven't been on forum for quite a long time, so many new threads and updates since then. Just wrote a reply on his threat.

Also very glad You too challenging this build. Good luck, as it has some flaws .

I use everything, sometimes good photos are better than blueprints.
Blueprints are important for general shape, after that design process bears on studying of any available pictures.
I usually don't even start a project if there are not enough pictures, even having quite a decent blueprints.
Worth to mention, one of our member, Mr. William, is helping with this project in terms of information. I'm really thankful for him too.
