Casting Bulb Slabs - Continuation

Currently it is too cold for painting on the ship. That is a good opportunity to finish the remaining lead Ballast. The first two slabs were already casted in December 2012. Altogether now are 140 kg casted. That is about one half of the Ballast required.


The ballast bulb is made of slabs for easy handling

    1. Dear Bassam,
      I can't say anything about the quality of building plans from internet.
      I am not an expert. Therfore I did not want to take any risk and bought my plans from Dudley Dix for $ 500. These plans are well prooved and you get advises from him If nessesary.
