Hello gentlemen,

As the next I have planned for the bow deck and have completed with breakwater, windlass and the service platform for the gun crew. On a French side I found the pictures which helped me to remain here as much as possible in the original.
I have brooded over the crane for the swimmer zero long; on my drawings he comes only well in the plan view, but just not in the lateral view in such a way before that from it something could originate for the conversion in the model. So I have made this again what I hold meanwhile for the best - directly with the original photo taken...
It would be real here with specify conversion now pipe material with approx. 0.75 mm of diameter announced. However, I did not want to fall back on my supplies and stick again and varnish... so drawn and printed out. I had to make the biggest compromise by both supports. The black line shows the correct strength; besides the props which I have cut then of cardboard.
If the photos do not flatter the eye so completely - I ask for excuse. Unfortunately, daylight was not possible any more.

With lovely greetings

@ Rick, Old Troll
I take such comments any time with pleasure; they give me, so to speak, a push!

I agree with Barry, pretty work Wilfried! Do you always build in pairs a new design?

Ordinarily I build only one model; nevertheless, in this case and with this size it is interesting to have once two. I think there of pictures together by an auxiliary ship...
What concerns the photos; I take dear daylight - it is softer. Although the daylight tube is also quite useful in my desk lamp...

With lovely greetings
