Apparently the Master Builders at Legoland use MEK on their big builds. I'm assuming that they have a really good ventilation system with a forced-air hood above their worktable.

Bag 20 contents. This is going to add Funnel 2 and finish the front half of the middle section. I suppose this marks the halfway point of the build.
A series of pictures showing how the funnels are installed with that slant.
Bag 20 complete.

One thing I remember hearing from a speedbuild video on this kit was that you need to be careful to align the drivetrain before linking the section with it and the section with the boilers. Otherwise, it will give you nothing but grief when you try to link them.
I have a feeling you mean the engines, not the boilers... but I'll keep that in mind. Those are in the stern section though and it's probably going to be a while yet before I get that far. Another extended break will probably be coming once I'm done with the middle section.
Bag 21 contents. There were two #21 bags, and this begins the aft half of the middle section, centered on the third funnel.
Bag 21 complete. Starting off with a hull frame and the cavernous engine rooms with some passenger cabins on top.
Bag 22 contents. Looks like hull plating.
Bag 22 complete. Starboard hull plating.
Bag 23 contents, almost identical to the previous bag. Hull plating for the other side.
And bag 23 done. Hull plating complete on both sides.
Bag 24 contents.
Bag 24 complete. Started on superstructure.
Forgot to take a picture of the laid-out contents, but bag 25 is complete. More superstructure.
Bag 26 contents. Remaining superstructure and promenade deck tiling.
Bag 26 complete.
Bag 27 contents. Remaining decking and funnel 3.

Bag 27 complete. For the last step, it had me join the front half of the middle section to the back half.
Bag 28 contents. This will finish off the middle section.
Bag 28 and middle section complete.
There will be another hiatus before I build the stern section. See you all in a few months.

That's AWESOME!!! I really wish I had the opportunity to build one of those. I'm super jealous.
You're doing a great job on this thread. Keep it up please!

If you look at the first picture you can see hinge pieces and axles sticking out of the middle section. These mate to axle holes and the opposite hinge piece on the bow section. The second and third pictures show a big pin being put into place that locks them together.
If you added an iceberg now you'd be pretty much finished...
I genuinely didn't think I was going to be back so soon, but what I feel like doing is what I feel like doing.
Box 3, containing the parts for the stern section of the ship, contains 26 bags numbered 29-46. There are two bags each numbered 29, 30, 36-40, and 46.

Bag 29 contents. A lot of parts in two bags. This next section to be built up will contain the aft end of the promenade deck and funnel 4.
Built what appears to be the electric generator along the center propeller shaft.
Bag 29 completed, hull frame with the engine rooms and the forward segments of the propeller shafts.
