Build log part 9 time to do the hull outside rails, use semiround 1 x 2mm nutwood here gives o nice border to the deck get the parallel distance to the first rail the Pins do`nt go through the rails, because of using CA here there would`nt be enough time for pushing the Pins in after Fixing the position propshaft claddings attached the lowest rail is the most tricky one rails completed, hull not so naked anymore this is the actual stand Build log part 10 to follow....

Build log part 8 planking and sanding done, but hull Looks a bit naked the stand is just a universal old one.... doing the bowpost using fexible beechwood ( is quite hard and flexible at the same time) further on to the mid keel it gets a bit broader in order to integrate the stand bolts safely propwindow, outcut reinforcement and rudder Arrangement with shaft going through to deck level the rudder remains removeable by pulling out the lower bearing pin, the shaft can be pushed up use figures in scale 1:87 (H0) Build log part 9 to follow...

David, all Colors in in satin-dull tones the hull is basicly White, with chocolate Brown section line at sides of forecastle and poop, the waterpass is green and the Sub waterline hull is antifouling-red (These are the Colors of the 1968 look) Masts, Yards and booms in safran-yellow Nils

very nice build Patrick, impressive rigging, Looks great Nils

Thanks the warning Bob, glad you are OK, is the Producer still existing, you probably dropped him an email then. I know from experience that These plastic materials (flux bottle) should not be exposed to sunlight, the material becomes brittle due to UV Radiation (20 years as you mentioned is a Long time anyhow) Nils

Build log part 6 this ship was not designed to be a cargo vessel planking good under way time for checking if no sub-deck Counters have been forgotten... finaly the last fit to size plank Closes the opening should be a fine base surface for sanding, due to the single layer planking, the Progress goes on quite swiftly 14 Planks per side, keel to welldeck still quite easy going.. The Planks that also form the bulwarks are mounted Build log part 7 to follow.... Nils

Build log part 5 the first portside plank, pine 2 x 10mm, is fixed against the Frames to find the best fit in its gentle natural curve following the hull lines and then glued on permanently the second plank follows willingly on this build I am not using additional stringers the same done on starboard side to avoid possible Twist in the hull the Gorch Fock is a fine model to plank, no risky bends, no watering of planks the 2mm thick planking will allow sufficient material remaining after sanding later on having no Problems with the planking short propshaft in sleeve tube M3 thread for prop (the brass prop to be Exchanged against a larger one later on, because I cold`nt find a 28-30mm diam. brass prop with M3 thread in the hub) Counter device for stand bolts with reinforced keel sides there Build log part 6 to follow...

Bob, I leave the most upper sideplanks just below the deck away as Long as possible, just in case and order to have Access to the decks underside for counterfastening whatever Needs to be fastened from above. If I should have Forgotten to set and fasten an eyebolt, I do it per enclosed scetch... Nils

beautiful work Jerry, the model Looks very impressive so far, next to the hull I love the work on the shrouds, to what extent will you do the rigging (also running rigging, perhaps even sails ? ) Nils
