Thank you, Joe.

Hope the following comes closer to reality than the parts that were included in the kit.

Regards,

Frank

Dear all,

I was asking myself if this comes close the original?

Any hints about how the booms of such a type of ship were attached would be appreciated.

Regards,

Frank

not to sure what the originals would have looked like, but the way you have done it looks OK to me, and is probably how i would have done it..

Dear Forum Members,

The following is an attempt to enhance the first life boat of my SS Melanie II. Somtimes it's good to have a cover for the inside works...  :-[
The cover itself is made of a simple paper towel painted with acrylic colour. ...curious about your comments.

Thanks.

Cargo Booms for SS Melanie II
« Reply #59 on: 11 February 2014, 21:19:25 »
Here are my first cargo booms made out of metal (replacing the wooden ones). They seem to look quite ok to me.

However, I am not quite sure if I understood the fixation of the pulleys (under the boom, at the mast) correctly. To me their position seem to be a bit low.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.
