Today I sanded the new hull i made from mdf sections. The sanding went well and with the drawings and some photo's I managed to make a good shaped hull. Now I am going to finish the bull with some filler and sanding and then to the next step.

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.

Here's the propellor. It's a new one so I had to make it old. For this I used electrolyse. Take a powersource from arround 9 volts DC, salt water and a nut or somthing else wich is galvanized. Attach the + to the propellor and the - to the nut (or vice versa) and hang them separated in the salted water. (do not let them touch eachother) after a while you will see a lot of bubbles and green stuff and the propellor is being weathered. After the process I dryed the propellor and applyed en coat of clear varnish.

Now the painting and weathering of the hull. I used the salt method to weather the hull. First I applied a few rust tones on the hull with a sponge and Vallejo paint and than a coat of clear paint. Then I made the hull wet and sprinkles salt on it. Then I let the salt dry a few hours and after this I painted the hull in its final colour. When this coat is dry I brushed the hull with a wet brush so the salt dissovles and the rustcolour appears. I hope the pictures will say enough.

It looks great. Looking forward to see the rest of the build of this extraordinary ship.

Well what can I say.
I glued the sections together and added the topsection (wich is curved) and then I wanted to start sanding. But I had a bad feeling about it and started to measure everything again and compared it whit the plans I had. I turned out I had made a big mistake with making the drawings and the sections. The sections where not wide enough, they are arround 2 cm to short. That was a bummer
But in the meantime I recieved (unexpected) a really good lineplan wich I would not have to adjust. So I am still going strong and just started a new build. It will take some time but there will be a new update soon. This time with a good hull with good measurements

Today I have sawn the mulitple sections of the hull. After this I will glue them together and then it's time for sanding, sanding and more sanding. I keep the lineplan nearby to control myself while sanding and then I will have an accurate hullform.

After finishing my first scratch build - VOC Retourship Batavia - I will now start with something completely diffirent, a Greek Trireme.
Trireme means literally three oars - three rows of oars placed above each other.
For one of my sons, who is studying archeology and has a great interest in the ancient Greek culture I already made a Bireme - two oars. This one is in scale 1:35.
The European modelbuilder Krick also has a Trireme in its program, so we decided to buy and built this one:
But this is in scale 1:72 and built it will be about 51 cm long. About the same as the Bireme.
So we decided to lay the kit aside and use the plans to upscale the thing to 1:35 scale - making it twice as big as the Bireme, but in the same scale.
This means a model of over 1 meter (3 ft) and making everything yourself - keel - bulkheads - planking etc.
Therefore this topic in the scratch-build section.
First step to do was to upscale the plans, with my copier and some old fashioned carbonpaper:
After that the jig saw and after sawing and fitting the first result:

igloo making, no, but the same shape
car wax used on the mold so the mold does not stick to the bread stove
inside the wooden shell, modified shelf so that it can be self supported by the wall of the oven
