I completed the fire fighting buckets! There's 18 of them! Just had to soften some wire bend to shape! Next I have to paint them. But before that break time..... Attached Photos - Click To View Large

I didn't want to have to reach into the boat. To turn on the running lights. So I put push button switches under the skylight! I figure one switch for port/starboard. And one for the forward main deck light and steaming ahead light! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

It pays to be patient! I was putting off working on the Davit and Lifeboat! But, today I felt inspired. So was able to put together the block and tackle! Not sure, if I'm going to glue the lifeboat to the boat cradle! The sky light is removable. For access to the light switches! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

The fire monitor is connected to a water pipe. But in this case it's a solid piece of aluminum tubing! Which I had to bend and shape accordingly. To the Pilot House and Captain's Cabin! After bending to shape. I then glued miniature washers. To simulate connection seams! And there we have it. Fire monitor and pipe painted the typical Red for Fire!

Look as if I'll be postponing Brooklyn's Maiden Voyage. Still have quite a bit of work to do on her! I'm also waiting for some .25 miniature rope to arrive in the mail! I have one last detail to add which is a steam whistle! But, have to wait on that for now! I think her Maiden Voyage, will be late sept early oct!😱😲 |

On starting the build of the Brooklyn. I had purchased 1 bottle of glue! 2oz It actually take about a bottle and a quarter. Give or take! See when I built the Jersey City. It only took one bottle to put her together! The Brooklyn is 3.5" longer than the Jersey City. Hence more glue needed! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

Spotlight is now completed! I have to solder the port & Starboard Lights! Anyway that's a small project on it's own! Unlike Serenity the Brooklyn isn't going to have a working spotlight! It's not in the budget!😲 Attached Photos - Click To View Large

On the life boat, Had to order some black rope! Dumas uses black string. I didn’t like this so found a ship company in New Jersey. They have different size miniature rope. I had ordered some but didn’t know the size! Luckily was able to send back what they had sent me. And was able to send a sample of some tan rope back and a block that dumas sent made of plastic! I want wooden blocks! And black miniature rope. It’ll look more realistic in the long run! Note: Replace the black string. For black rope it will look more scaled! I ordered from, www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com Order .025 this will be the right scale rope! Attached Photos - Click To View Large
