The next job was the netroll. I started painting and weathering and after this I placed the net on the roll. Voor netting I use bathsponges wich have nice netting if you cut the string holding them together. I also painted and weathered the trawldoors wich are made from aluminium so no rust this time.

The past few days I worked on the crane with powerblock. It's being used for hauling(?) the nets in.
Groeten, Kees

I had a lot of fun weathering the ship these days. Maybe it's not everybody's taste but I like the result so far.
Groeten, 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.

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.

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.

And this is how it was before I started painting and weathering the hull
