Not an easy thing to replicate those angles Tony with out any plans, think your doing a sterling job .
Hi John, many thanks, I found I made the second window panel a mm out, was able to start all over again completing the port side real windows, this time glued in the panel then glued the clear panel in after, worked out much betty, pretty happy wish I had proper scale drawing, so long as the model is as close as I can get .

Tony about window angles i made my self a template to use against the bridge then put the window frame to that way you get them all at the correct angle an yes i know i have plans but as you hav'nt you will have to guess the angle an then make a template as thats how i did on my tiger an they came out ok to me thats the easy soluition
Hi Chris, how are you going yeah what I actually did too make up templates, , will use on the starboard side only at the end and two panels , I used the measurements of the comp deck with the bridge floor how I got the angles, 22 mm's difference. There is a window sill run along 3 quarters of the window panels on the inside that helped me as well and can use the same on the front window panels, glad to get the bridge u the way I might leave the fitting out of the bridge till later.
Take care Tony

Have finely made a start on the starboard side interior furniture, nearly finished, took a bit to get started, would of being nice if I had proper plans to goby instead of just using pics, do have a floor plan rest is guessed, working out ok .

Pic one the first interior furniture starboard side , flat area close to the star case is the access door to outside, I still have to cut that out , will see more in the last pic of that doo, not sure what those doors are called, have to drill a hole through and glue in clear plastic like a port hole. I still have to cut out the three cupboard door on is First Aid

Nice progress on the interior......not having to work from plans allows you a little room to use your creative talents to build it even better! :thumb2: Rick H.

Hi Rick, many thanks how are you going yeah agree , have finely finished the interior furniture starboard side at long last, still have a set of doors to mark out and fit, that can wait till later, swing to the port side furniture be a bit harder. I am on a high because I decided to check the measurements mainly the height , and to my surprise got it right ,my work deck is 30 inches high works out 8 mm to scale, pretty happy there.
Take care Tony

Railroad furniture in HO scale should get you what you want. Walthers, Reynaulds, etc. PaulE
Hi PaulE I have being looking on eBay come across some guy that prints out 3/D model office chairs to scale, not quite right,, I am on the search for a F/7,8,9 class cabs as the seats are what I am looking for. Tony

At long last the starboard interior furniture is nearly finished, want to switch over the port side, being a lot harder, like a challenge20210211_214443.jpg20210211_214456.jpg

Second last and last pic looking at that access door to the bridge deck I will drill a hole and ad on the outside a sheet of clear plastic and other side what is the wheel house, at least it be a lot easier to the older ships, final pic, ,my door wont open too much work.
