Captain's Log: I just got back from the park! The wife and I go for a walk. Three time a day! We ended up at our local park! Of course I planed it, like that! I wanted to see if there was any weeds or algae. Guess I'm lucky. There wasn't any at all! Just about a dozen ducks that's all. Looks as if her Maiden Voyage. Will be in about two weeks! It takes a lot of planning. When your model weighs 15-16 lbs. And you live on a third floor with no elevator!😱😲😤😭 One way or another. Brooklyn's having a Maiden Voyage!

Captain's Log: I decided to put Tug Brooklyn back in the tub! Just to see how everything works! Luckily This didn't happen at the pond. The grub screw that holds. The collar aft of the dog bone. Loosened up after about 20 minute of 1/2 ahead! I made a notch on the shaft. And retighted the grub screw! Would anybody recommend lock tight to be used? Attached Photos - Click To View Large

Brooklyn is finally completed! It took me 8 months to assemble her! The Brooklyn is a very nice kit! I don't know how much she's going to weigh. I don't have a scale! But I do have lead shots! A lot of lead BB's about 14,400 BB's! So, anyone that want to figure that out in weight. Please let me know! The bollards are now glued in place! That was my last step on the Brooklyn. Was a lot of fun...…...👍 Attached Photos - Click To View Large

Running Lights are now in place! Brooklyn is complete except for the bollard. Which aren't glued in place yet! Because the caprail needs to be ground down! In certain area's! So, the bollards can be placed against the bulwark! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

I've placed 4 guywires in place! There are 6 guywires in total. But I'm not placing the last 2 until. I place the steam whistle speaker in the Captains cabin! I'm going to use the Captains cabin. As part of the speaker for the steam whistle! It should work out OK, Fingers crossed! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

Forward ladder is now in place! I also placed a Deckhand. Looking down the ladder! Special Note: When I was laying the deck. I laid it off center accidently!😡 So, the ladder is off center by about a 1/4"!😲 Lesson learned when laying the deck. Use slow curing glue. in case you have to move the deck around. and position it in place! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

The Skylight windows are now painted and completed! Dumas should have done a better job. At designing the skylight on the Brooklyn! Dumas could have precut the windows. Which would have looked great! I would have cutout the Skylight windows. But was unable to! So, just painted the window frames! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

Had to order a small bottle of Testers Thinner. See, I used spray cans to paint the superstructure of the Brooklyn! So there was some area's that need to be tidied up a bit! So my idea is to spray some of the leftover paint. Into a small cup and use one of my small brushes. To paint over some area's that have over spray! So, I need a way to clean my brush! Hence the Thinner...…….! Now, I can finish the build of the Brooklyn! Tommorrow, I plan on working on her running lights! For this I must give credit where it is do, Thanks to RNinMunich Doug, for you hard work and dedication, Thanks again Doug! I printed out the diograms you sent me. They are a lot of help!

Each bucket is now painted red. Along with their silver handles! I painted the tops of the buckets light tan. To simulate sand being in them! Best as I could, I couldn't get the handles. To look the way their suppose to look! Attached Photos - Click To View Large
