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

Chris, this figure looks REALLY good.  Both the figure and the painting are excellent.  Jim 

Just had some pics of the painted Nelson figure, should arrive tomorrow (not the painted one, though...)

Because I still was reluctant to continue with gun rigging, I put the transom in place and started on its decoration. While trying to fit the flexible decoration part I found that it was too wide and would not fit around the quarter galleries stern windows. As it was already mutilated after scratching away the elephant I brought myself to cut it in half, taking out about 1,5 mm in the middle. (A similar operation had already worked for Pickles boat so I did it again.)
 
The now 3 parts were painted and glued onto the transom. After much re-gluing, light sanding, touching up again and again with the 4 colours used (black, yellow ochre, white and flesh) and mending Pegasus' broken wing I achieved an acceptable result which even for once looks better on the pictures than in reality. Using only 3 basic colours and just a little more on the central image of Bellerophon on Pegasus looks right to me - not pretentious but with a simple elegance. Again, less seems to be more.
 
After closing the side galleries I could see what benefit I gained from the extra work with hollowing out the gallery frames to give a view into the lower part of the side gallery: Well, not a big one, but I'm still glad I tried it. Next time I should radically cut away as much as possible of the part where it touches the hull.
 
 

3 parts of the transom decoration ready to be glued on
 
 

the yellow ochre looks a bit more golden than in reality
 
 

the transplantation of Bellerophon was quite successful

Thank. In the background the frigate Enterprise is waiting for its turn. This will probably be the first frigate of the opening series of English frigates of the 18th century. I found quite a few English frigates with a similar hull. And they will probably all be built on a 1:36 scale. I prepared one case for machine processing. This shell is collected from several parts and cut from alder wood with very high accuracy. To make such a body pretty quickly. The product is very durable and light in weight.
 
These frigates are very similar in hull structure with or without a gallery.

Such wonderful work Kortes - very nice indeed.
