Hello!
The last week brought a lot of progresses with the Schwan.
Here I have built the staircases (pict. 1-3), the remaining railings, the skylights, the basement of the funnel and the superstructures of the bridge deck. Everything is now in place (pict. 4-15).
Finally, the rudder wheel and the compasses can be seen in the last three pictures.

Here the funnel is built and glued in place. This adds some color to the model.

Afterwards we have the davits, placed on the upper deck behind the bridge.

There are six different winches including the anchor windlass; here you can see the construction.
In the last four pictures, the winches are in place.

This is enough for a while, I can keep on building!

Cheers,
tommaso

This is such a beautiful ship!

It seems to have all the most pleasing visual characteristics of ships of that era. And you sure do build your models with superb precision.

Hi all!
Thanks all for the comments!
I did yet some more job on the Schwan (cranes, lifeboats, ventilators, masts) and the ship is now close to the end.

There are four identical yellow cranes on the boat; they are built mostly from lasercut pieces, so the construction is quick.

The anchors and the bollards.

There are 20 ventilators in 10 different shapes. One must be careful not to mix them!
