  1. It has been a while due to domestic problems home and other issues but I'm back and want to finish the built.

    I did some other changes as well as you will see on the pics, made the bow nearly massive and also around the bow trust as to me looks like this is a weak point and I want to keep this built for years to come.

    Anyway, presently I have done the hull, closed it up so no holes inside and now use filler, sanding, filler and again sanding until I have a smooth surface to apply the first paint on it. 
    The deck will be started afterwards like accommodation, mast (still not content with the mast present), Schottels propulsion back as bow trust already mounted. 

    So completely sit still I haven't but not worked as frequently I want to be.

    Going at the UNI now to get my BSc is another target I want to achieve, I know people say I'm crazy with 71 going back to school but I want to do something with myself and this is keeping me busy, no time getting Alzheimer too and having my Master already just want to have this done too in 4 years time incl the foundation. 

    Also having a night job so it will keep me going so to speak but still want to do my built and hopefully it will be done by next year.

    I will put some pics here too with explanation what I have done and hope you enjoy it in the same way I did make.20190506_134722.thumb.jpg.3dd3d0bb7a35f3ce56cedd7ec6b99bb8.jpgLast time I was here and upload this pic.

    20190917_194000.thumb.jpg.64deb68aafe57cb6a24a5531416dc1ec.jpg

    Made the bow itself out of a massive part to have more strength in there.

    20190917_194020.thumb.jpg.d36ed65ab1af7d4e2236079048160190.jpg

    Raw shape of the bow to allow the hull plates glued on to it.

    20190918_111004.thumb.jpg.c8784db51ae95893a488888d52d45816.jpg

    Also the bow trust surroundings with massive wood for strength and support.

    20190918_131902.thumb.jpg.0ca902363a1658e60d40c56e17092843.jpg

    Raw building port side and you see the block wood I made the massive parts out.

    20190920_092132.thumb.jpg.10ecab11a4956fee611216e1e6c837e9.jpg

    Coming there after works and glued parts there but still needs more work to be done

    20190920_092144.thumb.jpg.0d0f6c72f06000bcbcd15d61ded3ffc1.jpg

    As she is still on the slip the bow comes to getting shape.

    20190920_092154.thumb.jpg.ffcfd7fa39b4f36ef8d95f3c43daa55c.jpg

    Also starboard side is coming to be in shape

    20190920_092321.thumb.jpg.b70709f4991cec477cc390d685836e83.jpg

    bow trust itself (without motor) in place and secured

    20190921_200954.thumb.jpg.c166cc87def9b0c025eaea94edc6c39d.jpg

    Closing up the bow part

    20190927_111420.thumb.jpg.0af6baa313e53fb48c60431e572de8c3.jpg

    After both parts finalised and applied first time filler by finger to close all holes

    20190927_111430.thumb.jpg.82920f59b06a19309392655352f6fa3a.jpg

    Also port side and did both sides anchor pockets protection and bow trust water line the flow of water afterwards

    20190927_111442.thumb.jpg.2304500055be737b23a166ef50a31976.jpg

    Bow is looking good but all in a raw stadium as need a lot more works to be done

    20190927_111451.thumb.jpg.63e617948345c50bfc26a6b4487f42b1.jpg

    Also the hull itself is going fine and connection to the kim is also done

    20190927_111511.thumb.jpg.9ec8069071f08a1df668564e17fc931d.jpg

    same on the starboard side the filler just applied for the first time

    20191003_065335.thumb.jpg.b579cfa65065aef33a4a645e19fcb7a9.jpgHull and bottom plate applied filler also the kim plates

    20191003_065346.thumb.jpg.df45cd07730dbd04f46ba7c2ab2640d7.jpg

    Not a direct sharp picture but you can see the hull and bottom connected by the kim

    20191003_065425.thumb.jpg.3f86dad467b1b28b3223c846db5a21d9.jpg

    You can see the lines already of the bow part. Not sure if I want to make the protection on the sides but guess I will go for direct rubber covers.

    20191003_065439.thumb.jpg.e0626a5487fccffc0e5aa75ec9566cdf.jpg

    Aft part raw done but need more attention

    20191003_065740.thumb.jpg.e59968f633b11dafa7604997e24e38c5.jpg

    Will have the roller in later and if having place under the deck built towing pins.

    20191003_065805.thumb.jpg.97197f79b22265d675db7865c94c9302.jpg

    Also the towing winch will be built in later

    20191006_075611.thumb.jpg.a6d589cd4e5f3ea1d2f747143a8c09e1.jpg

    Even not standing and taking the picture direct in the center line of the vessel the bow looks good.

    20191006_080053.thumb.jpg.a940593c128a70c99dc2028f29237c9e.jpg

    Bow trust engine mounted and secured waiting to connected

     

    1769_Schottelantrieb_III_01.jpgSchottels I'm going to use.

     

    Just an update till now.

    Already informed you that it will go slower as expected but still doing works to it.

    Did the sanding accommodation and bridge.

    Changed also the uptake stairs / ladders to the helideck as was not content with it, now looks much better.

    Also received the railing and can imagine how it looks wenn all mounted but will be something on both sides of the stairs to!

    Having just 3 pics to go with this update.

    But this all for the next weeks or so to start and finalise with that.

    Wish all of you a great time, X-mas is just around the corner too.

    20191019_224005.jpg

    Having the last pics of the built.

    Made / altered the mast, made from a round piece of wood and by hand in the shape I like.

    Also the railing on the border/platform made but need to drill the holes for it, it gives you an idea how it will be.

    Then the kim keels made and permanent glued to the built. 

    Was not an easy job as could not get them in the side I want so had to be altered by  hand but it looks good and hopefully it will work to not to have the Boka Alpine rolling that much in the water later.

    Have a great day and weekend.

    Peter.

      not much done then just the fore mast.

      Still waiting for spares / parts to arrive but they already did inform me the delay as some are out of stock.

      Made last week some more orders but they have to be made as those are mostly 3D and that takes its time and also all in scale 1:75.

      The deck cranes I have on order 2 x and will also make the "buckle" crane on ps aft deck for later the ROW and other equipment to handle. Those cranes (all 3) will be remote controlled.

      The helicopter on order and will be having it's own remote so it can land and take-off from the helideck.

      Mainly those are the inventaris on the bridge deck like chart table, consoles, chairs etc.

      Also some equipment going on the Monkey Island and between the funnels.

      Also the towing winch what comes out USA will take its time.

      Waiting for more info about the Schottels as already waiting 3 weeks and hopefully they will be here before X-Mas.

      Anyway, as weather conditions are zero cannot do anything outside so just working slowly day by day in between "Home work" UNI and my work finding some time to make some small issues to my built.

      Have a great day all and will revert.

      (Just image some parts I have on order already)

  2. Hi Steve, has been a while but back here.

    Closed the hull and now sanding and filling until getting a smooth surface.

    Did put some pics there too but apparently on a wrong page and no idea how to change that.

    Anyway, going back to school to get my BSc in business so keeps me busy both ways.

    https://modelshipworld.com/profile/32387-seamanpeter/?status=1004&type=status

    Here you will find the latest.

    Take care there now, greetings from here.

  3. rpeteru, hope you did manage to get your mok so now you can drink coffee out of it.

    Been away due to several problems but now back on my built an d closed the hull.

    Sanding and filler is now the actions to be taken until I got a smooth surface for the paint to apply.

    Have a great one there, cheers.

     

  4. Good day dear readers,

    Is there anyone in or near Luton UK that is also building a boat (any kind) so we could do that together? Got a nice place this summer in the garden with a tent that is 3x3 so having enough space there. Always nice if you can do that with others and you can learn from each other too.

    Waiting for some replay,

    wish you all a nice day and pleasant reading as this side is made for that and can find any enquiry you need. 

  5. Still waiting for the postman to come with the tug Fairmouth Alpine. 

    Have been thinking about the prop and will make 2 Azimuth Veth VZ 1250 - 70 mm type in it instead of the 2 props and rudders!  It will save me a lot of work to props and rudders, also less electronica as props are 360 degrees. Can also forget about the stern truster as no need for that either. The only thing I have to make is an additional keel as showed here on the pic below from another tug with same props. Will be great for sure but again need some adjustments to make in the underwater part.  

    Just got the confirmation that the slipway will be delivered today.

  6. Changed my pic for a change as now a private man, "retired" but doing school and work at nights. At least not doing the same job as done in my previous life.

    Take it easy you all.
