Ozdell's 1/87 scale Ro, Ro ship Coroan Sea build

Getting closer......... :thumb2:

Hi Rick H , start work on the port side interior fitting, bit more work involved Tony from down under..

[ozdell]

Very happy to say the ship's bridge is well on track, on a high, yesterday I made a jig to get the angles right on the front window panels and cut out and glued in place the port end window panel indeed is taking shape of a bridge.

Today I will cut out the starboard end window panel in place and start marking out the windows on the starboard front window panel, before I glue the front panel in place need to finish the window sill on the inside starboard side, at the end of both sides interior there is a raised platform up one step.

The front bridge window panels be a challenge as they are bigger windows , have smaller window sills.

The first pic before the port end window panel was glued in place, I can finish off the starboard side with gluing the front window panel in place .





Middle and last of the bridge.

YEA PaulE thats how these bridges are as it was very difficult to build my tiger bridge as you say angles everywhere an Tonys bridge is even worst for angles as its got a lot more

HI john, yeah pretty happy even the ships captain is impressed he said like the real thing, have marked the port side front window panel will take a while to cut the 8 windows out , can't be glued in place till the interior furniture is in place, waiting for the captain to re-join Jutlandia Sea. How are you going Tony

Hi RickH yeah still a lot more work ahead till the the window panels are finished , How are you going Tony from down under

[ozdell]

Hi PaulE wait till I start on the middle front windows yet more angles to drive ya daft , once the two front main window panels are in place will mark and cut out the comp deck , be able to start work on the main mast. Tony

Hi Chris, yeah is the back of the bridge that is finely finished, now the fun begins more angles, once the two larger front window panels are in place I will mark and cut the the comp deck mainly to help in getting the angles right on the middle panels enough angles to drive ya nuts , the ships captain is very impressed indeed.
Replying to your second reply , I think your Tigers bridge would of being harder to build because you had two bridges , I have walk ways in front of the front bridge windows, figuring out how to tackle it

Hi PaulE, probably what the walkway is meant for as there is a few, there are 7 windows in the where the main console is looks like the only ones with wiper blades, on other access other than walk around the bridge, Tony

Hi Rick, any idea how to tackle the walk way, I may have to scratch build it another project a head , take care and keep warm Tony, we are having a stinker of a Sunday 39 degrees could get hotter.
