The pictures beside show the grid that seperates the working deck from the winches. Since my soldering iron had not enough power to warm up the brass pipes I tried to warm them up with a hot air gun. Doing this I found that the hot air gun is extremely well-suited for the soldering job :) .

The next task was to manufacture the hydraulik crane. Though the item still looks quite rudimentary it allready consists of more than 30 parts.

The forklift and the truck in front of the ship give an impression of the size of the vessel due they are in the sams scale.

Last Saturyday served for manufacturing the Kort nozzles. The deep-drawn parts already lay in the drawer for while since I was not sure if I should use or scrap them.  But after a whole lot of filling and sanding the nozzles look quite good. Though the final installation will have to wait until the hull will be sanded.

After so much dust caused by sanding I was eager for soldering  again ;)  ... The pictures beside and below therefore show the first steps of the erection of the mast that will carry the radar system and antennas as well as the position lights and sensors for the detection of wind speed and wind direction.
