    Why do you have three foot tall pencils lying next to your model? Or is it really a normal pencil and is your model really that small?! I am amazed by the detaill you added to such a small model. Looking forward to your new updates

    Nice work! Those light boxes.... I always forget wich side is red and wich side is green. And the other thing.... On my previous model I made two beautifull light boxes but when I wanted to install them on the model it turned out I made two left ones. No problem, you learn by your mistakes. But at my current model I made two light boxes again and yes.... again I made two left ones Looking forward to you next updates and I totally agree with you about what you say about this forum!

    Hello fellow shipbuilders, Thank you for all the comments and for the likes! Man, I like the like-button! Miss it so much on the Dutch forums. Sometimes you dont't know what to say but with the like-button you can always let te author know you appriciate his work and his postings. Today I worked on the trawl gallows. These gallows are placed on starboardside of the deck and they hold a pulley/block trough wich the fishingline runs into the sea. You can imagine how enormous force is exercised on these gallows so they were made from heavy steel and were anchored directly on the ships construction. On this photo you can see the rear gallow with the heavy pulley/block. On the front of the ship there is also a gallow. The nets had two fishingline so the nets stayed open and with the pulleys/blocks the nets were hauled in. And here some photo's of the building. Each trawl gallows containes more than 50 parts plus all the parts that fell on the floor and became unfindable. I hope you enjoy watching and reading my postings. I enjoy reading your topics and I am amazed by the skills you have. Thank you for everything See you with the next update Regards, Kees

    Today I finished the frontmast. I lost my camera so almost no pictures of the building but the final pictures show enough I think. It was a lot of work to find out how the rigging and lights in the mast had to be because I had no good pictures of this and it seemed different on any other ship from wich I had photo's. But I think it's done right now.

    Nice progress on your trawler. I am looking forward to the new updates.

    The last few days I have build the -Portaalmast- (don't know the english word for it) and the fishingbeams. These things were added ten years after the ships birth.

    The reardeck and wheelhouse are finished now so I post some overall pictures for yoy to see how it's looking now. At this moment I started working on the winchhouse, the mast and the fishingbeams. These are later additions on the ship but they where allready there when my grandfather started to sail with here so I have to build them. It wont be easy because there are no drawings of this later additions and I have not much pictures of it. But with the help of some old fishermen I will make this to a succes. Regards, Kees

    All the woodwork on the wheelhouse is done now and i guess it will look great after some varnish. I also made a mast. It took a lot of time to find out all the dimensions and how all the rigging was. This week I got some new photo's wich are very helpfull to me.

    Some progress on the little trawler from Holland. I made some antenna's, a compass, a searchlight and some other bits and pieces. It's hard to build an acurate model. Drawings don't show enough detaills and the photo's are made from to far sitance or are bad quality. I have to use lot's of photo's (also from other ships), drawing, the internet and the help from an old sailorman to make the parts but its very rewarding to do. Now I will start working with a very strange material. Its has a brown collour, has a smell, splinters when you break it, and is not very easy to bend. I think it's a high tech new material from Nasa's laborotery's. Do you know the name? Very strange.... It makes me sneeze when I sand it

    Those canons really look realistic. I can not imagine how small they are.
  20. kees de mol
    Where do you get your patience from to do this sort of work? Very nice to see, I am amazed!

    Hello Jan, These part I had in my bits and pieces box. They look very much like the originals so they work for me.
  22. kees de mol
    Thanks for the responce and for everyone who hit the like-button. I managed to do some more work on the Antje. I build an exhaustpipe a roof for the wheelhouse and I added the first detaills on the ship.

    I like the German quallity of your carvings!
  24. kees de mol
    It's all beautiful but I am stunned by the gratings you made!

    Nice way to build the plug. I also build my plugs that way.
