  1. The thickness is 0.3mm. I bought a couple of rolls last year for very little money. In the Netherlands it's called "Latoen". I don't know for sure if it's brass or maybe yellow copper
  2. Bad habits die hard... 🙉🙈🙊 Thanks for the kind replies and for hitting the like-button. The deck indeed needs some colour and maybe some staining. I will work that out later in the build Kind regards, Kees
  3. I've build a wooden clinkerbuild dingy for my herringlugger. Here some pictures how I did it. Don't know if it's the smartest way but it worked out for me. For steambending the wood I've build a woodsteamer from an old rice cooker and soms loose materials.
  4. I like the contrast between the red color of the engine and the wood of the ship. Bringing it to live. Well done
  5. I made two new hatches for the livingspace of the crew. Sorry I really dont know how to call these in English.
  6. The wire in the picture is more like 0.4 or 0.3mm but I will have a look for you. Maybe I can find some 1mm wire. I do know there is 1mm brass rodd for sale in hobbystores but thats very stiff rod.
  7. Thanks for all the kind words and all the likes and views. I really enjoy building this fishingship but I have neglected to post more often. Now I have settled in my new job and education I hope to post more regularly.
  8. I started building the different hatches. First I cut out the base in the wooden deck an after that I build the border and the hatch. When ready will place the border and the hatch in the wooden deck.
  9. Thanks for welcoming me back and for the kind response to my work on the deck. @Jan: The red is the basecoat and the hull will be painted black later. The inside of the the railing (Bulwark) stays red and offcoars the part of the hull beneath the waterline. Kees
  10. Update: I made openings in the deck for the hatches. The small hatches are for the herringbarrels which are stored in the fishhold. The bigger hatches are for the netstorage
  11. The work on the herringlugger continues. I started to build a pvc deck in the right shape and started to lay an oak deck.
  12. Thank you Ed for sharing this magnificent build with us. I enjoyed every part of it.
