Hi there

Slowly forward recently I`ve been working on propellers/shafts..and all the rest of the propulsion system.And here i have to say that the propulsion system in this model is far off from the original one ...but i will live with it

Classically i attach a few pics from work progress.
I made Prop-shafts out of 4 mm diameter aluminium rod.
Propellers are painted with Humbrol enamel No 16 Metallic.
At the minute i try to match /adjust all parts before i will paint all.

And here you can see how i give shape to the base of propellers by using a screwdriver

And finally my attempts to match everything together

I also upgraded the Rudders by making a grooves similar to the ones which you can find in the original.

The pics are not the best as my camera is dying

)
regards.

Hi Marlon,
Mighty fine workmanship and excellent detailing tricks going into your build.

I'm trying to work up the courage to get into another ship project myself.
