    Working on the Pelikaan. I started on the bullwarks and realized they are the last structural things I have to build. All the other parts have been build and now is the time to put together everything. Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Yesterday I glued the spraydeck on the hull (and with this the maindeck and the structure under the spraydeck which were attached to the spraydeck) Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr After that I finished the bullwarks and the next thing is to finish (sanding etc) the hull so I can paint them. Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr I also made the metal stands. They are attached to the hull and will be fastened to a wooden plank. It's just the structural part the finishing will follow. The pipes are hollow so I can lead electric wire through them later. Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Cheers Kees

    This model is getting better and better every update. I like the evolution of the model and your buildingskills. They both amaze me. Cheers

    Very nice to see the progress in this work of Art Nils. The planking looks great and makes it complete.

    Hello Pawel, How do you make the wood 'shining' ? Is it just sanding or do you use oil or something? Very nice work

    Hello Gary, Nice to see that you found my log and I wish you a lot of fun reading my log in the future. I am glad that I can give you inspiration and that i have the chance to contribute to this great shipmodelling forum. Regards, Kees

    Had some work done on the Pelikaan. All the details under and next to the spraydeck, the fish collecting bin, the railing on the spraydeck and added the fishingline guids on the deck. Now I want to finish the inside of the bullwark and then i will add the front piece of the ship to the hull. I have to find a solution for the electric wiring. Kind regards.

    Great work indeed. I like the overall picture of your trawler, she is becoming a very realistic working vessel.
  14. kees de mol
    Nice workspace. Are you standing while working on the model?
  15. kees de mol
    I am truelly amazed by your work of art. If I can work with wood half as good as you do I would be very happy.
  16. kees de mol
    I wonder which museum will lay their hands on this true work of Art!
  17. kees de mol
    No problem at all. Some hijacks are fun. Thank you

    Yes thats because the boats were pulled high on the beach in fall and winter. The boat with all the gear, sails and flags on it is very strange. I think it was on display or something maybe for some important people to show. Normaly they were like the boats with the mast fold back.

    That would be great. I like the book very mutch because there are a lot of details about the ships. I believe the builders didn't work with plans, just by memory and a craftmens eye. In the book are some withnesreports from a man who observed the building of "bomschuiten" for a while. Some time ago a group started crowdfunding to build a replica of a "Bomschuit" because they had found the original keel and some other parts under a dyke. I believe it is the KW76. Ithe replica is being build in Spakenburg. The keel and parts were displayed last summer in front of the Andreas church in Katwijk. This beautiful church is found on many photo's with Bomschuiten on the beach of Katwijk. The church was used for many years as a wearhouse and saltstorage for the fishingcompanies in Katwijk. (the salt still causes a lot of problems and is very expensive to remove) We (protestant church) raise money all year trough to pay for the restauration ans cleaning of the salt.

    I got some big plans for the future so it had to be big. For now it is very handy because there are three models to build on. Hello Marcus. I bought that model in a secondhand shop for the price of a couple of beers. It's called a Bomschuit and it is scratchbuild (not by me ) but it's not very acurate, more a decorational model. I think the scale is around 1/20. If you are interested there is a very good book about these ships written by E.W. Petrejus, 1954. I have a copy but it is in Dutch. Maybe there is an english translation somewhere. Kind regards, Kees

    I made some progress on the Pelikaan. Wooden guards and some metalworking beneath the spraydeck. Next stap will be adding all the details and then the opening where the fish goes in the ship. Lots of work to do but very rewarding. Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr And here some parts of the ship safely in my new showcase. I made this case to protect the parts when I work on other parts. Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Kind regards, Kees
  22. kees de mol
    Yes you can build one..... I still have all the moulds here so I am thinking of making some buildingsets in the future.
  23. kees de mol
    Hello Folks, Offcourse this is a buildinglog for my modeltrawler but without a proper workspace I can't build anything. So in the last few weeks/months I made myself a new hobbyroom. Allmost all the materials are secondhand and the wood came from shop windows ans changingrooms. The floor is from an old classroom. Here's how it was Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr And how it is now Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Untitled by Model Fishingships, on Flickr Kind regards and up to the next update, Kees

    Hello everybody, I made some progresse with the decks and the foremasts by combining them together, Structual everything is okay now so I can start doing the thing I like the most... adding details. Thats for the next update but first some pictures of what I did today. Kind regards, Kees
  25. kees de mol
    Hello to you all. Here a picture showing the development of the frontdeck (spraydeck?) of the trawler. I started to make a master in polystyrene and after that I made a mould with GRP. Then I made the decks with grp and sanded them. Now I start making the railing. Regards, Kees

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
