my work today

[Henry Casciaro]

Andy,

Great work! don't know how you can do them so quickly. The funnels and top decks are superb and I especially like the skylight between the funnels which would have been the dining room ceiling I think..........Well done

All the best Henry.

hi,why have the athinai 8 derricks and 1 cargo hatch at the buck????
for the cars outside at the pier??

[Henry Casciaro]

Andy, yes presumably they would have been used to onload/offload cargo in the days when the cargo holds were used. Later they were converted to swimming pools (both forward and aft) however since the Athinai carried some cars I think these would have been loaded thru side doors?
don't really know Andy am just guessing.

Cheers Henry.

[Ellinis]

I agree with Henry, the dericks were a remnant from her previous career. The cars should be loaded from a side ramp.

i dont like the funnels but i dont no why

[Henry Casciaro]

Andy,

They look great maybe just a little tall?? and the front one needs to be tilted backwards slightly, you know what I mean. If you look at the picture under the deck plan you can see that the funnels are not straight but slightly tapering backwards which gives them a more streamlined appearance.

Hope this helps but if its too late to change them leave them as they are as they look good anyway!

Cheers Henry
