Hi Kudin, I just came to look at your amazing build log. You are showing top notch modeling work, it looks great and the work is fantastic, its a pleasure to watch Nils -
Update: cockpit floor, ballast, outcut.... when walking the dog this morning, I was gathering these small "rocks" for use as natural ballast, well hidden beneath the floor planking Nils the ballast stones here will only be placed in these underfloor cells that remain visible through the floor outcut

Merci, thank you very much Michel, and for looking in on my build log, I`m pleased you like it Nils

many thanks for looking in Peter and for your nice comment, yes you`re right, comfort on the Zeesboot is going against zero. The model is more of the heritage type around turn of the century, after the two world wars, when these were pure working boats. The motorisation is a compromise already. I`m sure that many of the modernized, overhauled and new fitted out boats turned into more or less small pleasure craft, also with extended deckhousings partialy covering the former work-cockpit ares for the benefit of more leasure and space on board.... Here the standing hight is only given under the roof of the front deck house Update: Starting the floor of the working area..... Nils this is the cockpit floor structure the centerboard fits in, through the floor... I`m intending to outcut the floor afterwards, in order to give sight to ballast stones and pebbles that go between the floor structure spaces the fisher is standing next to the centerboard casing, where there will be on both sides a water containing locker for live fish, directly from the catch he shall maybe be holding a reasonable eel in his hands, before it goes to the locker.... the cocpit floor is done with a thin layer of 0,8 mm ply, planked with 1 x 5 mm stips of oak with pencil caulked edges. The outcut for the centerboard case is being integrated

onwards wirth the fitting out of the cabin furniture...., willhave to sew some small pillow casess for the births. With a search on the web I found a brass mini coupling for propshaft to motor, together with the mini fastening screws and an hexogonal Inbus key. For the floors I still have some 0,8 mm beech ply cut out after the card templates, that will be planked with 1 mm oak planks and pencil caulked Nils the floor is still the card template here the motor coupling with 3 mm bore is only 13 mm long

Today I started with the card templates for cockpit and cabin floor. The floors will be planked and caulked In order to get acceptable stand hight in the cabin, the floorlevel there was set a bit lower that the one in the cockpit. also rough checkout for the two berths and the ladder. Will make the final ladder a bit wider. Without boots and cap father fisherman will find sufficient length in his berth. Nils card templates show the position of the floor levels here the little mini cabin with two berths, access ladder from the companion-way hatch. I intend to install a small iron oven portside of the ladder, and a locker will be set up to the front bulkhead between the berths footends. Also there must be a fresh air vent intake and an exhaust over roof for the oven

Thank you Ian, these Zeesboats are quite sturdy vessels and many of them are still based on the original heritage fishing craft. The Zeesboats were not so much noticed by the public, during the period of the former east German DDR, but after the reunion 1989 onwards, with western Germany more and became noted as potential and respectable hobby watercraft, and some enthusiasts had an resonable opertunity in buying one of these old and used boats at bargain prices. Of course much handcraft work sweat and love was put into those heritage hulls, their rigging, sails and fitting out, and there are also still existing traditional family owned wooden boat boatyard businesses to stand aside with knowledgible help and help in overhauling, to turn them into beauties as they are today Nils

Many thanks for your nice comment Denis, in the moment I`m trying to find the right floor- levels for work-cockpit, small rudderstand well, cabin ( including more or less the hight in the standing area) where the front deckhouse walls will bring hopefuly adequate standing hight inside the cabin.... Nils the crew member at the helm is either standing in the rather small well for steering and motor operation, or sitting on the deck edge fisher junior is again standing on a chunk of wood with his left leg may still need to lower the cabin floor a bit the cabin stand hight increases by the deckhouse side walls, anyway we must keep in mind that its a workboat and not a yacht

good afternoon Eberhard, many thanks for your kind suggestion to reference literature for early marine engines. I`ll try to see if the one or other publication can be made available, and trust to find something helpful there. Nils

I built the standplate from several wood formates and stained them in Cherry, but yet without a silk varnish coating and also the two pedestals again produced and shortend from old candle holders. Internal M4 spindles with nuts and washers hold the model safely through the keel ("backbone") The hight of the pedestals allows the centerboard to be swung down 90° I`m intending to build in a dummy tucker motor (1 cylinder glow head diesel), but except for my preliminary hand scetch, I`m still looking for a suitable marine engine I can adopt dimensions from. Does anybody have an idea where to find that information ? Nils

beautiful look Peta, I noticed on the pics ( your Post # 96, 97 and others) that some of the laser burnt treenailing had faded away a bit due to sanding in bow and stern area... how did you manage to make them visible again ? great job ! Nils

Hi Zbip, Welcome to MSW, enjoy your stay, also thanks for sharing that fantastic Video, made with a camera on a pole stick, from outboard with 360° function, wow ! It is a mazing that the camera, stick and certain things can be made invisible, never heard that before Nils
