Captain's Log: Well, we are expecting the first snow of the season! Here where I live! I was going to take the Brooklyn to the pond. This weekend, It was suppose to be her Maiden Voyage! But nature has other plans! So, Brooklyn's Maiden Voyage. Is going to have to wait till the Spring! Unless we have a warm day which I doubt!😡😤😭 I attached a picture of the Brooklyn. Patiently waiting in the domestic test tank! For a Maiden Voyage!!!😊😊😊 Attached Photos - Click To View Large

Captain's Log: I finally got the Steam Whistle for the Brooklyn! It's made by RAM! It's a RAM80 to be exact! It's not a bad device at all. It sounds quite loud! But I haven't tested it outside yet! I left all the Portholes opened on the Brooklyn. So, that helps a lot with the Steam Whistle sound! Attached Photos - Click To View Large

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
