04 – Lower hull, Screws, Decks

Hello Modelers,
Work continues . . . The lower hull now has the proper color, a rudder and two screws.
The propeller shafts are made of wood. All the blades and fittings are paper and card.
The grip block has been removed and the decks (card) are being test fit, not yet glued down.
This ship has, what I will call a “shelter deck” that is about 17 feet or 5.18 meters (two stories) high.
So about 75% of the main deck will be covered by the shelter deck and its walls. There will be some boat storage inside and on top of the shelter deck.
More on that much later.

Kind Regards,
Mike
