Thanks Richard, and thanks to Paul and Bill,but the work go ahead a little slowly as for the great number of details to built and for the time I can dedicate.. in any case I hope to post here soon some pictures of my progresses

[Bento]

Hi guys, I'm sorry, my model works go ahead very slow... For the moment I can only add this pictures about the stern upper structures.
The windows are obtained from a tank p.e. parts. Actually the model is a little more complete but I have some difficult in take good pictures of it

[Bento]

BRAVO !!!!!!!

[robertmelvin]

Outstanding work! My hat is off to you, sir. I couldn't make the most builder friendly kit in the world look that good, let alone something I concocted out of sheet styrene. You guys who have the talent to scratch build never cease to amaze me with what you do.

Your attention to detail is excellent - especially at 1:400. I am following this build with interest. Nice work!

Thanks guys, and thanks to Jim for his words, I take a picture in a very tricky moment, I'm trying to persuade the upper structure to match with the boat bridge..

Beautiful. Your building skills are impressive! Can't wait to see pictures of the finished model.

[Bento]

Thanks Patrick, unfortunately my model work go forward slowly, in reason of the work complexity and for my job, but I promise to post some other pictures about the small upper structures I'm working.

[Bento]

Hi guys, as I promised here below you can see two upper structures of Bremen. They are the covering of the two room machine skylights, obviously hidden by elegant structures in order to not disturb the exclusive passengers.

[Bento]

Thanks Daniele! I took two pictres of the boat masters, in a short time I will have 10 pieces of the uncovered type and two ao the covered. The small details as ropes, oars and propellers will be added on each resin copies.

Hi guys, here below you can see the two type of Bremen lifeboats, their davits and winches ready to the molds. In a "short" time I hope to finish the boat deck of my model.

I greetings from Ukraine at the moment are starting to build a model Bremen 1-700,1-500 have you shell theory.

This looks like a very nice model and it is of very great interest to me. Can you describe the process of making the davits? Also I do not see the earlier images posted at the beginning of the thread. Can you repost those or restore the links done way? I would like to see your hull making process also.

[Bento]

Thanks Harper, I tried to restore the first pictures.. but I lost some of them. I built the davits using a little "U" brass profile and in the U I fitted in the plastic parts, the white ones. The pulleys were obtained cutting a rod plastic profile.
