Michael,

Every time that I look at your work, the only thought that comes to mind is UNBELIEVABLE! It's like you built the ship in 1:1 and then somehow shrunk it.
If you ever give this to a museum, let me know which. I would really like to see it "in the flesh".

John

28 – Ladders and Auxiliary Boats

Thanks Friends and thanks Don for the reading material. I enjoyed it.

I have a nice photo of the four ladders that will be used to connect the top of the bulwarks with the main deck.

Then I moved on to the ship’s auxiliary boats. I decided to design/build the steamers first. I was surprised to discover that the auxiliary boats rank among the most difficult phases of this project.
So I tip my hat to you designers that created all the fine sets of auxiliary boats contained in the kits I built in the past.

Hence: only two photos at this point. I decided to attempt a technique I saw used (not often) by several other builders here: Planking the hulls. It seemed promising at first, but the small size of the boats makes it a difficult process. The two prototypes seen here do not pass inspection. Considerably more development work is needed. I may abandon the “planking” technique, and revert to methods used in previous projects.

Regards,
Mike

Superb ladders.

Both boats look good to me, but so did your previous boats using the other methodology.

The boats look great Mike, but maybe the boiler's a little high? I think is should look more like this from a Bouvet build:-

Thanks. Yes, I see what you mean.
My prototypes need some work. I'll make the boiler lower after I do some more work on those "planked" hulls.
Mike
