Can you describe and give close ups of the wheel house mechanism at the stern. I saw that in original photos and liked it much more than the simplistic little "housing" they put in the kit. Details would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

Below the principle implemented for the Endurance. (from Wolfram zu Mondfield)

Below what I did. please noted that the winch drum is a little bit too big.also the metal pulley wheel ! It is not easy to respec the scale (1/70)

Close to the steering wheel I added a disc to represent the break.

I hope that's clear, I beg your pardon for my poor english.

If you want more pictures don't hesitate

I've seen your model. It is a reference for me. Noted for the dogs and the penguin ! If you notice improvements don't hesitate.
