New task was done on my shipyard yesterday. New leak and bubbles hunt and I found a new source of bubbles...

On this picture, we seeing the result of repair. I proceeded with same method than before, drilling + filling the hole with resin and microballooon. I'm waiting to get dry before retest.

Then, I decided to remove external part of bow thruster. This is a really piece of Sh...t !

I will remake a new one If during her first sea trial she has some problems to do some manoeuver. I keept motor in place, perhaps I will need him later...

After that, I was occupied by port reactors inlet. Engel put them on really wrong localization. This is a very difficult task because, there is two possible positions and Due the fact that i don't have any photos of TK-17 in dry dock, so I put them like TK-20 but...

Localization is correct, now I must proceed with grids.. that will be Rock n' Roll !

Today on my shipyard, reactor cooling exhaust !

First, make a large hole on hull were i'll put a grid...

Horizontal pieces...

Inside, some rigid structure to obtain an stronger structure..

vertical pieces wil be add later

 

[Guest]

today, end of work of reactor exhaust grids

Inside, there is still some work to do to get a better looking... just another sanding session

After sending hull, there is much better looking !

Globaly, I'm pretty happy, that look not bad ! Of course before painting this models will require a lot of corrections ! :thinking:

 

[Guest]

I dont check in here often as I follow your build elsewhere, but once again a superb build and modifications to the original. You've raised the bar so much I bet you have put a few people off build an Engel Typhoon kit! :respect2:

 

[Guest]

Totally agree! :sobbing::sobbing::sobbing::sobbing::sobbing:

Well... i'm blushing

Anyway...Today, I continu to add details on port side on the upper hull. Handrail, bolar...etc

Drilling on starbord side, now sanding do fit with grid's size
