  1. Many thanks Bruce, for the link to that page, much inspiration pics are given there, much appreciated... Nils
  2. Ribs are all in place, triangle reinforcements bow and stern glued in, and now working on the inner sheerboards..... Nils
  3. Hi Dan, love your performance on details for ship, engine and passengers, a very nice build Nils
  4. Very nice work John, I enjoy catching up on your Portland, a beautiful build... Nils
  5. Hi Jason, Thanks for your words. There will be a shaft giving view from above, where the engine will be mounted in.... Nils
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Welcome to the build Jason, glad to have you on board, and many thanks for looking in and catching up. Little Caspar is doing so well, one can see the improvement and also the growth from week to week (yesterday 10 weeks, since birth). He is still "leaking" a bit, but also that will be soon overcome... Nils
  11. Getting further on with the ribs... shaping, saw-cutting, a bit fairing to fit, glueing, I get about 4 per day placed. The lead weight I still had, it was orignaly intended as an internal weight block for a schooner some years ago. Nils
  12. Excellent build Christian, you`ve done a fantastic job, shes a beauty !! Nils
  13. very nice build Javier, it looks a little bit like a small chebec... Nils
  14. Thank you very much Geert, the overstanding rib ends will be trimmed to the sheer-edge line later on, when the deckbeams and cabin interior are fitted.... Nils
  15. Hi freinds, many thanks for the "likes".... further on with the ribs of the front section, on the stb. side I will need to add half a plank to get the hight acc. to the port side planking Nils
  16. Antony, great work, I`m enjoying your build, the idea for building a half-model is realy special to look at... Nils
  17. Thank you Martin, I`ve been working on the front bulkhead its seperating the cabin area from the compartment ( as a locker for anchor chain, ropes and other things that need to be stowed out of the way ) Nils
  18. Hi Gary, many thanks your words are much appreciated. The use of the contour gauge was the recomendation by a fellow member and I would`nt want to mis it anymore Nils
  19. Thats a beautiful steam launch Ian... and a very nice Billngs kit Nils
  20. An improvement for taking off inner lapstrake contours of the hullplanking...... Yesterday had a vist by a freind and fellow MSW member, we meet now and then to exchange thoughts on our builds and general building techniqes... Many thanks to Siggi52 and appreciations, for introducing his contour gauge that he lent to me, to try it out, and that will make the production of the interior hull ribs with improved contour quality, vs. my humble methode shown here earlier I tried it out today and am very pleased with the results. It also saves time. Nils
  21. Hi Bruce, I intend to install the things that were necessary for this type of working boat in general, such as : Cockpit planked floors, well-box for live fish, motor well, both access form above. Diesel tuck-tuck motor (Dummy) 1-2 cylinders, gear clutch, reverse gear, with large flywheel, machine exhaust Cabin with 2 berths, locker, ladder, cast iron oven with exhaust over cabin roof, fresh air vent, perhaps a small foldable table. As it is a workboat, it will mainly be held in varnished wood The motor pics I borowed from the web. I intend to to work some outcuts into the main cockpit floor to enable view to the stone Ballast beneath, and perhaps into deck /cabin to view underneath /resp inside cabin Unfortunately I have no other finish details or plans (pics) available at this time, other than the enclosed.... Nils
