Hello. These figures are from Tamiya. They come in eight pieces so you have to glue and paint them. They are truckers but I like them as fishermen to.

Lately, I have been painting the second figure that will be placed on my ship. It's Captain Job and he will soon be found on the bridge. I think it's successful and I've at least had fun painting. Greetings and the next time more building and painting

I like your workshop. Mine is half the size but because of all the rubbish I have probebly a quarter left.

The lion sealy scares me So you did a good job on that!

Wow, looks like a very clean build to me.

Thank you for the kind replys. I was overwelmed by the builds I saw here but I am happy that my build can have a place here to. Today I've been painting a second figure for the ship. He will have a place on the bridge so you wont see a lot of him but I like to ad detail in the painting. Next week some photo's Regards, Kees

Hello Popeye. The weathering isn't something I do a lott. In fact its the first ship I weather. But I have great fun in it and it works well with this ship. Next ship won't be weathered but I migth use some pre and aftershading and some filters just to make thing more realistic. I use mostly styreen but will use any other material when needed. "card"? You mean paper? The boat in the back.. Do you mean the drawing on the wall? That's a drawing of the fr-927 specially made for modellers. The other boat at the attic is a model of a dutch beamtrawler wich I made when I was arround 16 years. Its RC but didn't sail for about 12 years. I totally agree on the anodes but I spend a lot of time surching for material to make them. Good news I found beads wich have the correct shape and size to make them. The hull isn't ready yet I have some more weathering to do on it. I totally agree with your last remark. I would not dare to sail in rough sea but they say the ship handles fine. Regards, Kees

Hello people Today continued with the factory of the bulwark. The legs must be made and aligned and that was lots of work. I have glued the feet to the deck with a mould (after I had measured out where to stand, of course) and then the horizontal pipes fitted. Because Cyanoacrylaat-glue adheres poorly on brass I have every bonding later touched with a bit of epoxy glue. It looks nice, and things are properly aligned. The building is now ready apart from some minor things, and so we can start painting. All fifteen ready alles vast. Sorry no further pictures here. Here is the epoxy I use The almost ready-pictures Thanks for all the reply's This evening I hope to answer some reply's (with a little help from google-translate)

Hi all, Due to holidays and other cases, the work on the trawler for a while stood still, but that has now changed. Still several issues had to be made on the deck. I'm not sure what to call everything, but it is mainly rolls where the fishing lines come out and where the lines are led back. A railing with control for winch and three hatches and a winch made. After this I must still make the railing and some small things and then the building is almost finished and it needs to be painted only. In the pictures I show only the new stuff so you can see what's new. The beginning of a winch And then you get this And here the new new dekfittings. I have no pictures of the building but trust me. It was not without any problems to find Proper shapes and sizes And yes the chains are a bit too thick. For this, I am looking for a smaller one.

I dont know the words for it in Polisch or Englisch so I do it in Dutch. Onvoorstelbaar mooi! -
Beautifull model and really well made!
-
I really like this build. Good to see that you dicided to make as much of the parts yourself. In a month or 3 I will start the build of a classic sidetrawler. It will look like your ship. Regards, Kees
-
Very nice build!
-
Because I want to make a realistic model like it is sailing in to the harbour I wanted to add some figures to the boat. The figure is a 1/24 scale figure but his size match well with the 1/26 scale. Meet Niels...

Thank you very much. I have never done this before so I am also glad it worked. But I am not ready yet. the whole upperstructure has to be painted and weathered to. Regards, Kees
