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 |

Yes, the fire stations are now completed! I was procrastinating cos I knew. It would be a pain putting the hoses together! I did everything to keep my fingers. From getting glued together in the process. There are four fire stations. 2 port side 2 Starboard side far and aft! Next thing to do. Is glue the forward ladder in place! But, I think I'll wait on that. I don't won't to snap it off while working on her! Note: Take you time with this step! Attached Photos - Click To View Large |

Completed main deck and trimming ! Couldn't get clean lines on painted surfaces. Painted as best as I could! Have to get some mineral spirits to clean my brush! So, can't paint minor over painted area's! Don't have a local hardware store to go to. They're closing everywhere I go to! I heard you can clean a brush with oil (cooking oil). Is there any truth to that? Attached Photos - Click To View Large |
