Thanks again for the link Eberhard,

I found and ordered some black rubber (Hutschnur) 1,2 mm round on Ebay, hope it will work , and report the outcome later this week

Nils

Many thanks Eberhard,

I agree, PVC is not suitable here, so eyes open for  rubber or silicone, and the idea with the soldering tin-wire is a good alternative

Nils

Thank you very much Jason, much appreciated,

I built in the fuel day-tank with removable cap and chain under the engine bonnet. For the main storage tank, also installed on board, (drum) there is now a hand fuel pump, a hose and a discharge nozzle for filling the day tank

Nils

the hose is a bit stiff, see if I can get one more flexible

day fuel tank fixed to the upper, inner front side of the bonnet

Wunderbar Joachim !

I just came across your lovely buildand am very much impressed about your handcraft skills. Those sails are top notch, I`m wondering how you got the different colors in the reinforcement patched areas,

A very nice model      

Nils

thank you Pete,

this weekend my wife and I are attending the necessary garden works, which I have been postponing for far too long...., also I have been running out of excuses, too hot, too windy, too wet, aching back, etc.  Now, that the weather is just right, I have done the basic cut to all the hedges in different hights and thereby saved o lot of money that would have gone to a gardener crew instead..., We have a large number of big green sacks filled with hedge cut and other garden greencut standing under our carport, waiting to be transported to the garden waste yard, see if someone would lend me his trailor in the coming week...

Nils

Good morning Allan,

Many thanks for looking in

yes, I wanted to build a tallship, and was evaluating between "Gorch Fock" 3-mast bark, and "Pamir" 4-mast bark. In the end I built both, whereby my "Pamir" is representing the version in which she foundered, with only 6 young men surviving that tragic loss way back in 1957....

Greetings from Glinde, in Germany

Nils

Allan,

your ropes look great !!

Nils

Status :

gasoil storage drum (handpump still to come), and anti fouling coating....

Directly attached over the engine or at its side there will be smaller fuel day-tank, not yet shown here...

Nils

20 mm round dowel, 3 mm brass bandages, two stand supports, enblem printed on photo paper

I chose red antifouling, dull silk appearence

Very nice build Al,

Super quality, it looks fabulous

What about rigging and sails ?

Nils

Dirk,

Thank you very much for posting this link, the pics are only for members though, I saw the fantastic model by a member, (Victory 78 ), of a different German forum, in the preparation phase, before I started mine, and at  latest then, was amoung other reasons totally encouraged to build this boatstype myself....

Nils

Hi Jason,

I`m delighted to study your well built HMS Diana and enjoyed your progress to date, keep it going...

also very nice pics...

Nils

Hi Denis,

thank you so much for your appreciative words, I`m very pleased that you like it...

The credit for the hatches ( for bilge access) goes to Wefalck , he gave the idea to do them at all, I did the how to do....

Nils

Thank you very much Geert,

is your gaff day boat sailor also going to be clinkered ?

Nils

Status :

I started my luck in painting the white waterline stripe. I know its a tricky task on the clinkered Hull, whos done it before will know what I mean. If viewing from horizontal waterline level the stripe will be straight, if at an angle the white paint line on the strakes will be more or less a bit "zick zack" on the steps. Next will be to mask off the white line with Tamiya tape and get the underwater red or green coat (resembling the antiouling)

Nils

Wonderful work Eberhard !

so many busy people at the winterly pier, a beautiful 19th century atmosphere, well done project  

Nils

Good morning Pete,

the "drawings" I used are : (please ref to my post #208)

from the book Herman Winkler on page 53

and the drawing from the web, beneath the forstanding drawing, (my post #208)

lines and frame plan are taken from Hermann Winklers book, page 53, of course there are quite a lot of details to be done in typical scratch build mode, but if you wish you would have my build log for comparism, or whatever you feel is worth adopting from the web`s free information..... For example I wanted the fish containments, the engine, the berths, the swivible centerboard, the engine cover, a minimum of furniture in the cabin, the oven, the ballast stones, the bilge pump, 2 scaled crew figures, the faked hatch covers to the bilge area, the horizontal plank connectors, ...etc...., and whatever is still to come...

For rigging and sails later on there is enough information on the web and in the books mentioned above.

I do`nt know what plan Mathias is using, guess he mentioned it somewhere, it must be very detailed, and I also did`nt find the source, but it is not needed....

Nils

many thanks Pete,

Have one side done with the plugs, 3 planks left on the portrside. Trust I`ve never drilled so many holes before.

First mark the positions, make a small centering point. drill 0,6 mm. enlarge to 1 mm, place the toothpicks and dip the pointed end in CA before, chisel off the overstanding pics, file and sand flush. I guess that all who did a good looking treenailing on the hulls and decks experienced the same exercise, for me it was new .....

Nils

Excellent work Daniel, such a beauty !!

Nils

nice work Phil,

are you going to rig her, and perhaps with sails ?

Nils

Status:

still doing the the hull plank connectors, had to take her off the stand plate for doing the last 3 planks on each side, it works quite well...

Nils

Many thanks for Geert, and for all that clicked the "likes button"...

Geert.

yes, I`m also happy with the effect, trust it will look fine above the waterline. (varnished natural wood).  At the waterline there will probably be a horizontal white stripe and below that either green or red "anti fouling" coating, I doubt if the plugs in that area will show through the paint, but we shall see later on.

Nils

Kortes,

Wunderbar,

congratulations, you`ve built a beautiful ship. She looks so realistic. This little jewel is so well done, rich in detail, very neatly performed and real candy for ones eye to see     

Nils

Lovely work Hof,

looking at the fuselage construction, the real plane must have looked somehow the same. One can imagine that unfreindly bullits went through it like through butter...

Nils

I am enjoying your build log Geert,

it looks like a  real boat beingset up in the workshop...

Nils

1 hour ago, Peter Cane said:

You did not tell us it was to be Viking powered as well Nils!!...but the oars are a bit short?

Pete

You`re right Pete,

thats why I cut then all off...... 

Ì`m really pleased with the outcome of the wooden plugs, got all in nice row alignment. The lighter wood color of the picks is a good contrast to the pear planks

Now all the others can be done in the same way..

Nils
