    Looks like a hard but satisfying labour. I hope you can get away with one layer. Regards, Kees

    Hello Piet. Thank you for your post. The lineplan I show is the only plan I use. In the last picture of my second post you can see what I do with it and in future posts it becomes more clear I think. Regards, Kees

    I must say that I am overwelmed by the reactions on this forum and on facebook. I'm a very shy person so sometimes I don't know where to look. The reactions here on the forum motivate me to go one posting and I'm very happy to contribute. Regards, Kees

    Drawings showed a different story. Several museums I have been called and talked to a lot of people, to heirs of the builder but no one knows where the drawings have remained. Well, I discovered that there were things from the yard (Dageraad in Woubrugge) in the National Archives in The Hague. I went through here, but unfortunately only found a contract, no drawings. Some time later I was contacted by a gentleman who did not have the original drawings but drawings of similar trawlers. He has sent me and it will definitely help me to build the Trawler The final line plan I have compiled from a line plan of a Belgian trawler that I got from a helpful fellow modeller The National Archives in The Hague The final line plan A general plan of a similar trawler Besides I have a lot of photos gathered from similar trawlers from that time so I always have a useful picture for details. Obviously, I can always go to former crew members to ask them how to build something the purchase contract Meanwhile I have "enough" material to build, and as I said, I am so first started modifying a drawing. I then copied the drawing several times. I'm going to make the hull with the so-called pile construction method. This will come clear in the next updates This way you get a rough shape of the hull that you still need to smooth sanding. In the course of my report I will show you all the steps. The model will be built in the 1/75 scale where it will have a length of about 58 cm. The first steps

    Hi all, When I went looking for a new ship to build, I got a picture from my grandfather who looked through the window of a ship's bridge in his younger years. Unfortunately my grandfather deceased at a very young age. It seemed beautiful to build a ship where he sailed on. An uncle of mine then indicated they would like to have a model of the 49 KW, Antje in 1959. My grandfather has been a fisherman on this ship and my uncle went with him several times as a kid. I have nothing promised to him but I started to look for information. First, I came across a book with the following information to N.V. Viss. Me. Kennemerland Dageraad Woubrugge Year 1959 43,96 x 7:34 x 3.54 Capacity 291 Brt 07.18.1959 trial and transfer 1969 made suitable for beam trawling 1972 TX 46 Antje eig. P v.d. Vis Sold in 1974 to Argentina is San Lucas Unfortunately, there was further found little information on hand to be so I'm on several facebook pages and forums calls going to do if someone had more information, pictures or drawings. Immediately there were people who wanted to help me. They often had not the requested information but they knew people who had sailed on the ship. Unfortunately, many people already deceased but I managed to find a few people out after a lot of phone calls and mail, and some also had pictures. At the wharf The Dageraad During the trial I finally managed to get to 32 original photographs of the KW 49 and I am very happy with it. Luckily I met a man who had sailed on the VL 16, a ship that was similar to the KW 49 He had a lot of pictures for me and even in color. The VL 16] The TX46 (formerly KW 49)

    Nice way to fake the beam bolts!
  23. kees de mol
    Nice shape! Sometimes you can get grazy when something does not glue at once. The glue always sticks to my fingers but when I want to glue to peaces of plastic together it doesnt work. Arghhhhh But at the end you won
  24. kees de mol
    Wow that's a stunning showcase!! Did you build that yourself? And how?! Greetz. Kees
