Mirabell61 got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in Zeesboot by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:24 - wooden fishing vessel c. 1876 - small
thanks for catching up Pete...
I`ve been tied in with so many other things the last days, so the decking of the Zeesboot was cooking on small flame. Now on stb. are fitted the edge planks and the first regular plank, beginning from stern. It looks a bit untidy in the moment, due to the cured out CA used, because of the tensions through the curving, but sanding and scraping will be done at a later point in the process. I have to work around the flat brass members sticking upwards from the ply deck, and I have a good feeling that they are safely anchored to the supporting deck structures below. Caulking is done with a soft HB pencil
Nils
the blackened Fittings hold the shrouds, the ones momentarily still in brass hold the foot-rails leaving a horizontal gap to the deck, to hawse the overcoming water quickly
the 3 mm wide edge planks (1,5 mm thick) are from beechwood, they come out a bit darker after varnishing, and the 3 mm wide deck-planks will be of 0,7 mm thick pine
The little gaps in the deck, next to the brass fittings are closed with little ply bits

Hi Kees,
beautiful, the fake riveting, and I also like the 3 figures you turned into the fishing crew...

Good morning Pete,
many thanks for your words, and your nice idea ref. to smoke and sound... much appreciated...
I will save it up in my mind, just as for the oily cloth you once mentioned.
My next activities will be to carry on with the decks planking, I`ve been postponing this for quite some time already, but need to "jump into the cold water now", before concentrating on rigging and sails

many thanks for catching up Pete,
thanks for commenting the oven and other details...., and yes the etched fish will be used, I will try to pad them up a bit with Fimo clay and bake it over if it works, to get them a bit more flechy 3D looking. I also wanted to do some eels wiggling in the fish boxes.
I have ordered some reddish (bordeau colored) cotton cloth for the sail making, but may also try a more brownish tinted color, perhaps even two colors on the 5 sails, like some of the actual Zeesboots have

Mirabell61 reacted to Vegaskip in Ship paintings
I work mostly from photographs. For the old ones I use old paintings or prints from books or the net for reference. I find that you can usually tell which painter has been at sea and which is painting from a description. I must admit I have been tempted to 'do' Trafalgar with a submarine surfacing, or an MTB darting out between a couple of three deckers!.

I don’t alway paint the same way, but here is one painting. (They didn’t come out in the order I posted, but I think you can workout the order.)

Thanks for your comments John and Mugje.
Thanks also for all the likes.
Pinnace update.
Fitted thole pins, ruder post and knees.
Painted blue background for the frieze. Now waiting for some fine brushes to arrive for the scroll work; as the ones I had, have been used by my son and didn't get cleaned properly and they now resemble Boris Johnson's hair do!
Here are some pics of the Pinnace on Peggy.
I have also made the main mast and top mast for Peggy.
