Very nice, Timmy. :thumbs_up_1:

With your help, I found the magazine—the German edition. It is *Logbuch* 2021/4. I think that’s worth 5 euros to me.

Many thanks to everyone.

Let’s do a quick update on the starboard side.

I had to attach another 50 small, thin supports. Anyone who used to enjoy playing Pick-Up Sticks has an advantage here.

But first, the overlay itself. To hold it in the correct position while the adhesive sets, the blue putty from “Blu Tack” is perfectly suited.

Image

And so, on this side as well, the torpedo net sections gradually take their place.

Image

And towards the bow.

Image

The next piece of intricate detail work is thus complete.

Excellent work, Joelle. I really like the weathering: it's very realistic looking.

Another quick weekend update.

I have processed the parts for the davits located on the exterior of the hull.

Image

I wanted to have them installed before laying the net, since everything seems to be getting very tight again.

Image

So the girl was laid back on her side.

Image

No big deal.

Image

At the bow, the lowered davits.

Image

And, of course, portside.

Image

Now the net can truly be laid out.
