    For the trawler I needed a propellor and usually I buy these at the hobbystore but this time I couldnt find what I was looking for and the props I found were expensive (around 15-20 euro's). I need three so it would be a very big gap in my budget. I looked on the internet for pictures of propellors but there were mostly beautiful new and shiny and thats not the way I wanted them.

    Yes it is true. Every photo gives a different colour but I have visited the ship a few time and I am sure the colour is more purpl/red then red/brown. But I will sort this out. Just spraypaint a hull in the 'right' colour and then I will look at it a few days if I am satisfied with it. Kind regards, Kees

    The only thing I know is that the owner uses Jotun 473 paint (thats what he says) The had no RAL number for me. After lots of surching on the internet I found out dat 473 is a number of the Brittish Standard (BS473) This is the colour the say is the right one This colour looks a little brown(ish) and I think it's more the colour of the antifouling This is the colour I want. I think there is some purple in it. But on every photo the colour looks different so I am trying some different combinations I am also building the nozzles and props but that will follow soon

    The colour is RAL3003 and was the closest to the final colour. The final colour is a bit of a problem because nor the produces nor the owners of the ship give me any help. I am tired of asking so I will try to mix the colour myself.

    Thanks for the encouragments folks. The coin is indeed a guilder(gulden), app. one inch in size from the days money had some value here in this country. Now we have the euro The only thing I know sure of this euro is that we export hundreds of millions (or billions) every year to Greece and in the future Eastern Europe. I have done a lot of work to the model so I will update soon to show the results. Kind regards, Kees

    Hello Nils, I just watched all the 44 pages because I had forgotten your build een little. It's very impressive what you make, a real work of art. For the lifeboat I would go for your own prototype. Self-made is always better IMHO The canvas can be more realistic. I used thin led in the pas te make a canvas cover. The led wich is arround an expensive bottle of wine. You can also use aluminumefoil or even Milliput to shape a natural cover. Kind regards. Kees

    The first hulls sticked to the mould a little bit and ther was some damage. I repaired the damage but I got a hint to use other gelcoat. The gelcoat is the first layer applied to the mold. The outher layer of the hull when de-moulded. Now I used transparant gelcoat with pigmentpaste for colour. Everythin went oke now and I could demould the hull without any problems. Tot de volgende update

    Nice stairs. I wonder what will be upstairs. Maybe a bar? In my younger years I went to a bar called Stairs on saturdays. Lots of hard urned money spend there.

    Thank you all for the motivation. Today I finished the mold for the spraydeck. I applyed lots of layers of moldwax and the part is now shining like carpaint. Tomorrow I will get the new gellcoat I ordered. I got a hint from a experienced moldbuilder to use other gellcaot to prevent the mold sticking to the laminated part. So next time hopefully a product without damage.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
