Wonderful, Michael  :-*
She won't be sailing to Kiel any time soon will she?  ;)
Enjoy Mallorca. I'm off to the Algarve for a week tomorrow  :)

Unfortunately I won't make it to Kiel as things stand, so ...

We are really excited flying to Mallorca on Saturday, I'm sure you will enjoy the Algarve as much as we will the sunny island.

After more than two weeks not working on the ship I finished the Goetzen now and it's ready for undercoating and painting. As requested I included parts for both merchant and military versions. First the tramp steamer:










And now the wolf among sheeps ...










Last picture shows the parts on their temporary base ready for undercoating. If the weather will stay sunny, I'll do that tomorrow. Next time we'll see some more colour on the ship.

... and paint around each one or mask them all for painting? No way, they will be added after painting, of course.
