Hi friends,

Here is a small diorama I made last year depicting a portion of the Parallelhafen in the Duisburg region around 1931. It incorporates several small vessels, a quay and a coal tipper.

Here are a few reference photo's and the kits.

Kind Regards,

Cris

The first of the small vessels, a customs whaler:

The framework and hull for the Binnenschiff, a common type of cargo ship still seen in great use even today. I have modified the framework to show an open hold taking on coal from the tipper.

Hello Friends,

The next last small vessel is quite interesting. The WELLE (Wave) by HMV is still afloat after nearly 75 years. Here are a few pictures of her and a start on the framework.

Kind Regards,

Cris

Finishing up the hull and adding deck details. A small teaspoon comes in handy for forming the hull. A needle is useful when forming small diameter cylinders like the ventilators shown.
