Nice 1 mate.

Im working on some ducts behind CT. They should be pointing upwards instead of down.

Siara · 04-05-08, 05:43 PM

I finished the main pipe. Delicate coat of primer over the whole inner hull.

Siara · 04-06-08, 10:54 AM

The ribs in the middle section- behind the long slot just abowe saddle tanks.
One side completed. Out of all the ribs these buggers are the worst. Every single one runs at the different angle to the pressure hull due to the curvature of the hulls sides.

Siara · 04-07-08, 12:06 PM

Im happy to say the ribs have been finished, in total 226 ribs.

Painted with primer, awaiting the coat of shiffsbodenfarbe III / antifouling paint /.

Hi Siara,

I have stopped in occasionally to keep myself up to date on your progress and not said anything. (Years ago I discovered how much more intelligent I sound when I am silent).
Anyway, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts. I hope you're keeping a good record of all of this.
Your efforts and patience are a fantastic example of patience and diligence. I'm proud to be even remotely associated with you.

Thanks for the kind words Old Dog.

I enjoy the build, and i hope the comunity enjoys it as much as i do. Judging by the number of visits- thats the case. Thank You.

Underside of the deck sprayed with primer. Deck fixed to plank of wood to prevent warping. Edges protected with the tape.

Ive masked the hull for painting the pressure hull with antifouling paint, but my compressor refused to work.

Shame, considering the thing is brand new, and only used it once for test. It sprung the air leak on one of the fasteners.
Will fix it today, and resume painting weekend.

This is the most important part of the job!! A good paint job will enhance the model and the details.
Good luck!
