Beautifull boat you are building! I am happy to follow your progress.

I like this model very much, Nils. Good to see you still in the hobby. 

Beautifull model of this trawler. Nice work

And another part. Sorry for not posting anything last months. Covid hit the carecenter where I work very hard and lot of my clients died. from 19 employees, 11 were sick at home so I had to work very much and long hours. I never got sick and today I got my first vaccin so hope for the best.

And another part which was very rewarding to build. All made of reclaimed wood

Made some fishbuns

I definitely understand why you build this ship. What a beauty! And your modelingskills are also very good.

Kees, as always, excellent craftsmanship.

Hello Marcus,

It's a book about the Herringlugger Balder from Vlaardingen https://images.app.goo.gl/G1LVcUZj2AW4qmye6

I use it a lot when building parts and also the photo's from my visit to this museumship

Ik started working on the masts

Kees,

 

What color did you use to paint the inside of the bulwarks? 

Hello Vlad, 

Beautyfull model and your skills are very good👍

Maybe you can look in my buildinglog of the Herringlugger KW140 Wilhelmina VII. I've build a lifeboat too and placed some pictures of how I did it. I have some simpele plans too if you like. 

Kind regards, Kees

Kees,

 

What color did you use to paint the inside of the bulwarks?  It is the best representation that I have seen of the red lead paints that used to be widely used in the marine industry.

I used a spraycan from Motip. I hope to post a picture tomorrow. 

Thanks everybody for the kind reply and the likes. 

Jan: The navigation lights came out of my  modellingstash and they are made from plastic.

First I painted them black and after that a thin layer with coppercolour and some washes and drybrushing with oilpaint. I was very happy with result but maybe I add some more copperoxidation  for the effect.

In the past few months I managed to build some new parts for the herringlugger.
