Krzychu asked me to test build this model so here it is
First thing I've laminated all parts that needed it on 1mm card. They were cut out, their edges treated with cyanoacrylic glue and sanded to high precision As you can see, the ends - especially overhanged stern - have much more ribs than the flat middle The skeleton was put together dry You can see closeups of stern and bow And finally everything was put together dry to get the idea of how it will look like: See you next time

Beautiful model is creating!
I really like shapes which this ship has. This my favourite of all Yours transatlantic collection. On 3D model I see that You have lots of work, but it's looking nice. And Lehcyfer showing great skills. Regards! |

Looks very nice and precise, but that's exactly what you'd expect from these two gentlemen.

Thank you, jjb89 and VinceM : )
The skeleton was glued with cyanoacrylic glue, the edges sandpapered again - to get easy flowing lines accomodating to the shape of the plating. Some edges on bow and stern were sharpened - according to the instruction. Pieces of plating were cut out and retouched: Pieces of plating are shaped to accomodate to the place they are suppose to take. Then they are glued together on touch using BCG glue - first in the the middle - matching the center marks printed on the parts, then the sides. A strip is cut away from a piece of cigarette paper, covered with glue and applied on the connection from the inside. After drying it with a hairdryer - a tool I use to dry every single connection which speeds gluing considerably - the line of connection is smoothened down from behind, using a rounded stick - the end of my Olfa AK-3 knife. The line is now smooth and nice. If pieces are glued at angle, the smoothened connections also take more flowing shape. Edges which are to be glued together into a sharp edge are sanded sharp using Dremel rotary tool. Such edge is for example on the bow part of the plating Parts for the stern are cut in half - to facilitate similar sharp edge. This time smoothenigg is done from the colored side because this part of plating is concave. Sides are glued together, forming another short segment of plating. The bottom plating is assembled into short segments Too many pictures - to be continued... Last edited by lehcyfer; 06-29-2013 at 02:09 PM. |

Continuation of the above post.
Short segments are glued together into two main parts - front and back. To the rib where they connect there are glued - from both sides - short strips of thick, soft card from a beer pad which are then sanded flush with the rib The underside of the bottom plating is then profusely covered with the spray glue from underside and glued on the bottom right away, first back, then front - this way the glue sets slower, allowing for fitting. Closeups See ya folks

pdmccool - I completely agree
Don, thank you The build moves on. The parts for side plating are cut out and retouched. The same technique as in the bottom is used to assemble the stern hangout. The connection with the side belt is strengthened from behind. The two parts of side belt are connected. The side plating is ready to be glued on The stern hangout is glued on. At the bow there is a bit to cut off. The ready bow looks sharp The body is ready.
