Christian Kosial is a regular visitor
to the Station and plans to be at the station open day this year.
He is currently working on the model of the Poole lifeboat City
of Sheffield and has just started painting the hull.
In the prior instalments you
can see pictures of the fine work to detail the stanchions, fenders
and railings around the hull.
Christian comments ‘ I´m very busy with my Tyne lifeboat
and I hope I achieve my aim that the hull will be completely painted
by the time we come over. The Red is washing by Airbrush so that
it looks old and affected by saltwater for many months. The other
colours are painted but must be sanded before I´ll brush the
clear varnish. The Tyne is a hard work because of it´s size.
I needed so many meters of tapes :-) but I´m looking forward
to sailing the boat.
I am now making the preparations for the special electronic functions
and have found a special electronic sound module that can programmed
with all of the original sounds of the City of Sheffield!'
