Hello
The aft and front deck is also glued in. Then comes the aging of the ship. I've already started a bit on the aft deck, but that's not enough for me.

She looked pretty aged to begin with!

 

[Wolle]

That's right, but there's still something going on. Let yourself be surprised.

 

[Wolle]

Here are some repairs and additions. Among other things, the anchor chain and at the bow platforms and stairs, also attached the first railing. The first seaman is also on board and checks if everything is going well.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Good time to upgrade the details during the ships overhaul in drydock, she will be a great looking ship when put to sea again.

I like the pose of the very cautious crewman looking down the hole for the anchor chain

Thank you for your feedback.
It continues with the aging of the decks and superstructures. Since the paint is already eaten in places anyway, I take advantage of that. Sometimes I have color, sometimes I used my wife's make-up. No, I bought new make-up.I also attached the rest of the railing.

Now that had to take a load of patience but it came out amazing. You did a great job and she rises again for another day of sailing.

 

[Wolle]

Thanks Bruce and all likers. Final spurt. It continued with the aging of the hull. The paint, which was getting on in years, also came to my aid here, mainly with paint in rust color matt. That's pretty much it, I'll be posting the pictures and 1 or 2 videos of the finished deep-sea tug "Oceanic" soon.
And a seaman taking a break has also been caught.

Great job Wolle. It looks to me that the sailor in the clean white uniform is working for a promotion and a transfer to a newer vessel.

 

[Wolle]

Moin Moin, they say here in northern Germany.
It's done. Here is the bottom line. I hope I didn't bore you with the flood of pictures.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Good looking work on detailing

 

[Bill Hime]

Great to see her back to doing what see was made for.. "Getting underway"! Good work - maintaining a patina that was well earned!

Fantastic restoration!

 

[Bruce Ritchie]

Great job and she looks great in the water.

Vielen Dank euch allen für die netten Worte und ich muss sagen, ich bin auch ein bisschen stolz auf meinen OCEANIC, den werde ich so schnell nicht hergeben. Bevor ich mit der nächsten Restaurierung beginne, hier ein paar Bilder, es ist der Herringslogger Wotan, den ich kürzlich für 5 € auf dem Flohmarkt gekauft habe, ich bin gerade dabei, den Walfänger Rau IX zu bauen. Ich werde in Kürze einen Baubericht erstellen.
