Your rudder-work is marvellous! I like the "fragile" construction and admire your shaft, mine is very simple compared to that and not removable.

Hi Laurent Good rudder construction . I note that you are using a brass tiller? Question what type of linkage { material} do you intend to use from the tiller arm then to the servo? I ask this because it is known that using metal to matal can be a source of interference for the R/C. Just a thought?

Hi Guys ,

thanks for the comments ... :thumbs_up_1:

@ Dave ,

the rudder will be connected to the rudder arm with a twisted stainless steel rod , steel in contact with brass doesn't create interferences , I think ...

on the other side , at the servo , the connection should be the same , I'll just have to pay attention to the distance between the two connections , that both arms are well swung at 90° , once it is set , it is tight and won't move ...

brass to brass or steel to steel is not good , nothing to do with interferences , but "mechanically" speaking ...

I always did it that way & never have encountered any problems , anyway ... :eyebrows:

Cheerzzzz !

Laurent

Here's an example:

Maybe that'll help...

Merci pour le link. These pictures are mostly Reichsmarine and not so important to me. But thanks anyway. Hope the others did help you!

Hi Guys ,

building at a veeeeeryyyyy slow speed those days , a lot of different improvments to do in the house and on the cars :big_grin:

that's no valable excuse , I'm just telling :censored_2:

crap , I know ... :eyebrows:

some super detailling , as I saw Uli's model , I couldn't sleep for nights , I decided to do like him :thumbs_up_1:

:

the signalling flags locker , situated abaft the pilot house , with a little chart table on it , all this has been made with cardboard , on some pictures , you may seen that the glazing has been glued :

detailling the CO's cabin sliding door , the white unfinished part near & beneath it will be a skylight for the CPO's & PO's mess below , in the door are the two holes for the handle :

I added some railing around the CO's cabin :

That's it for today , I'm going to paint the funnels ( outer skin in grey , inner skin in matt black ) & the under part of the boat's deck tonight ...

Regards ,

Laurent

Who would want to be a Senior Rate on that ship? At least on modern ships the Skipper has to make an effort to ruin your day, here all he has to do is open his door and pee down the skylight. Nuts to that for a game of sailors!

The signal flags locker ist amazing and I like the door too!

Keep on Laurent! I haven't done anything since yesterday, hope to get to finish the other rails on the bridge together with the stairs tomorrow. Let's see if I get the time to do it.

Hi Guys ,

those last days , I worked on the pilot house equipment

first the telemotor ...

as a reference , while surfing on the net , I only could find a decent picture of a telemotor on board Titanic's wreck :

to model that stuff , I used a piece of Evergreen tubing ( 2 mm in outside diameter ) , all the rest , like the casting reinforcements , is in cardboard

I added a 0,3 mm piece of brass rod to represent the piping

I didn't find a steering wheel in the appropriate size , so I did my own .

I tried to do it in brass --> just forget it :big_grin:

self photo-etching is beyond my knowledge --> forget it either

Trying to build that :censored_2:

wheel in wood almost caused me several heart attacks --> just forget it again :heh:

I tried to do them in cardboard , and I succeeded ( well , sort of ... ) :woo_hoo:

the compass stand is a white metal part , bought through the net , a while ago , by "Hasse" in Germany...

the pictures :

you noticed the greasy fat under my thumb's nail ( and some scars ) , its not because I'm allergic to soap & water but I fought a battle with my Van's barn doors :mad_1:

--> I won

See you later !

Laurent

Excellent work that looks indeed very good.
I have a compassstand from zinnecker (lead), would you recommend the Hasse part?

Hi Uli ,

I should say : order one compass by "Hasse" ( it costs 1 € ) , you'll see the difference ...

I never ordered by Zinnecker , though , so I'm not able to tell you who's better ...

regards ,

Laurent

Hi Petros ,

they have a stand at "Intermodellbau" , it might be the reason why they don't answer your questions ...

Also , they don't have an online catalogue , you'll have to buy their catalogue ...

Regards ,

Laurent
