Wonderful work Danny, I`m totally amazed of the lot of technical parts, their function and how this was designed into the card model, let alone your skilled performance on the assembly, sehr gut gemacht !! Nils

Thank you very much Pete, Geert and Eberhard, your answers and input are very much appreciated.... Pete, model locomotives and marine craft in G scale often have details that can be adopted of another.. I went looking for polysterol screw head imitates (your pic...) but could`nt find them in the web net, do you kindly perhaps have a source (link) ? Geert, As I could only model the engine from Photos I found on the web, this was my best effort to produce something alike in scale 1:24, am pleased you like it Eberhard, I remember , when doing the bolts with dome nuts, that connect the blades to the hubs ((KWdG model) I worked a bit like you described in your "pre lathe days". Instead of nails as base material I used quite small hexogon brass bar. Many thanks for your kind input here... Nils

Many thanks Slava, and for looking in, have`nt heard from you quite some time now, nice to know that you`re watching this build..... I`m still working on the engine, installed generator, water cooling pump and tubing and fly-wheel, more to come the next days... Cheers, Nils

thank you very much Peter for your appreciative words, I`m pleased you like the engine... Yesterday I received some brass etched fish for the catch together in scale 1:25, with two fish box kits (sides get folded and soldered together). For the fish there needs to be some uppadding, which will favorably will be done "Fimo clay" that can be baken for curing, before the fishes get painted. I decided also to produce some eels in appropriate scale made completely from Fimo clay. Trust that all together this will enhance the working boat character, when done... Nils

Thank you very much for your nice comment Mark, the small parts of the engine are taking more time than I thought....., I wanted to do the dome nuts for the cylinderhead from small brass hexagonal brass bar but it looks like I lost the remaining bit I still had. In the meantime the housing was painted and I`m working on the cooling tubing with connection to the water pump. Generator and its terminal box are also painted, need to do a bit of wiring, and I`m looking for a suitable mini V-belt or two, perhaps the thin sealing "O-ring" for wrist watch glasses can do for this. I`ll have to see the jewelery shop in town if he has some old ones in his scrap box... Will post some more pics when I have all things together Nils

Hi Peter, thanks for looking in. No, its by far not the completed model, engine, cabin, deck, the whole rigging and sails and may others are still to be done. I gues its about 50 % done to date. The pics are showing the raw motor in build, painting, wiring, tube connections etc. transmission per V-belts and flywheel still to be done..... Also thanks to all that clicked on "Likes" Nils

Nice work Allan ! Nils

Feedback for Eberhard and John, this is the result for the bilge access lifting plates, (as already mentioned it is a compromise though, providing 8 hatches ) The black lines are preserved by a layer of Humbrol Enamel clear varnisch. I will varnish the complete floor area, when the first layer over the lines is cured out.... Nils

Wow, very impressing and accurate work Hong Bing Nils

You`re probably right Eberhard, thanks for your comment..... I`ve taken that in consideration myself, alone for having access to the ballast-stones, but waved it again (would be to cramped floor optic, and a compromise shall be made now and then.... Perhaps I shall draw outlines of the floor-access hatches with waterproof black ink at a later time. Need to do a few tests on how to keep the ink lines sealed and clear , found an Edding product that seams to work well... Nils

status of build : fastening a steel strop to the centerboard, a structure board for passing main mast through and stiffening out centerboard. Aft section floor with outcut for motor well. The main mast is a dummy in lack of 8 x 8 mm square bar for checking the alignment of the mast sockets Nils These two pics are out of my own book "Zeesboote" by Hermann Winkler, it shows the hard work even at night (note the petroleum lamp), to check out what the catch has brought the Zeese-netting will be dumped into the buckets below I found that the steel galvanised strop is nor flexible enough for the centerboard pulley tackle, will change to adequate rope zise the prop shaft will be shortened to allow length of motor and coupling the motor will look somehow like this sample, one cylinder glow head for gas oil fuel, water cooling, complete with gearbox

thank you for your words Kudin... Nils

many thanks Michel and Geert, and also thanks to all the "likes".. Michel, I`m not sure what size the ballast-rocks have, but I`m sure that smaller pebbles would stray around in the under floor sections in rough waters. I would appreciate any pics for examle, if anyone has... Geert, yes, the water filled boxes contained live fish, I just made some ventilation airholes into each lid to provide sufficient oxygen...

Status update: the fish containment boxes to both sides of the centerboard, and with two removeable lids each, have plenty of room to take up the catch... Nils
