The riveting isn't complete yet, but the end is in sight. I'll keep chipping away at it for the next three weeks and all will be done.

Hi Phil.

Looking fantastic. The rivets really finish off the look of the hull. BigGrin

Thanks for looking in Ian! Cool

What with seamless welding and acoustic panelling these days, the rivets certainly place the boat within a period of time in history.

Phil W. BigGrin

Nice update Phil, great work, it's been a long tunnel. LOL

Thanks for looking in Mark! BigGrin

You're not wrong there. I think the thing to do and it works for me, is to work on small sections and concentrate only on those. To take everything in, the enormity of the task can seem over- whelming.

Phil W.

Good evening from 'The Dockyard'.

This weeks update focuses on the completion of the rivets and weld lines on the stern of my U230 U-boat build log.

The attached photo shows the next section riveted on the underside of the stern, starboard side.

Continuing forward I added further rivets and the hull and prop shaft housing weld lines.

The attached photo shows an under side shot showing the weld lines on both the port and starboard prop shaft housings.

I can't believe it! After 4 weeks the stern section of the boat is now complete! Woop woop!! LOL

Phew! Epic! LOL

Next week i'll be adding weld lines along the length of the lower hull and marking out the rest of the guide lines for the rivets along the mid-ships upper hull, both sides.

The week after that, I aim to add all the rivets to the mid-ships upper hull and weld lines to the saddle tanks.

AT THAT POINT, SHE'S READY FOR UNDERCOAT!!! [cue fanfare]. Cool

Thanks for looking in and your comments, have a great weekend and happy modelling! BigGrin

Regards,
Phil W.
