gieb8688 reacted to captainbob in USCG Pequot (WARC-58) by captainbob - FINISHED - 1:96
Ah research. We do research before we start building and then do more research as we build. That’s when we discover things that make us change part of our build that we have already done. Hopefully we don’t have to start over. In this case all I have to do is remove the aluminum tape with the rivets. It turns out the rivets used on the Pequot, except for the rivets in the stem post, are flat head rivets and smooth on the outside. Also in post #99 you can see a plate added to the hull. It turns out the hull was enlarged in that area on both sides. I was not able to find a reason. Anyway now I have to add a box to both sides of the hull all because of research. On the other hand, if we did not do the research our models would not be correct.
Other than that I put together the basics of the cabins and placed them in position.

Printed some new decals with better resolution. They are much more sharper now

Today I did the last things to the polyester mold. I cut all the edges sanded and everything. Then it was time to find out if both halves of the mold wanted to separate. First I very carefully put a chisel between the halves and into the gap I tapped wooden wedges. It took some time and effort but suddenly The first halve separated from the wooden hull and after some tapping the other half released.
I am very happy because it was quite a lot of work and it was very exciting if everything would work the way I wanted.

I finished the searchlights. Lot of parts and very small to make. I also used the lathe to make some signal lights (the glasses) There are 13 glasses per chimney. I made a toolbit to make the pattern in the clear plastic.
Next update i hope to show the finished chimneys

I went building on the chimney's. They needed lots of detaills after I had cast them. They are finished for 75% now so I have some work to do yet.
See you with the next up-date

Here I made a start with the winchhouse. I couldn't build this without the original drawings I got. The polyester hull is also a bit closer to completion but I will post the photo's when I have some more results.
To be continued

The chimney has a simple shape at first glance but I got some drawings of it and then you find out its a rather complex shape. There are some curved, round shape which run into each other. And there are some details which form a nice challenge to me.
offcourse I will add the details later

The mould cured well. It's the mould for the collectingbins where the fishermen empty the net in. There are two bins and the skipper can empty them in a central bin from where there is a conveyor-belt to move the fish to the workdeck.

The winch took me more than 8 hours to build. I want to build more models so I wanted to make resin catings of it
For both materials (silicons and resin) there is an A and a B component. You have to mix them 1:1 and then casting.
I first made a silicon mould which I leave to harden for two days and then I went casting.
I am very satisfied with the endresults. Only the first winch and hatches did need some more attention because I didnt removed the airbubbles the first time. But nothing serious, just some filler and sanding to make them right.

I made this hatch and winch-thing the last few days.
The winch is used for unloading the ship and the hatch (with the smaller hatch on top) is for the nethold. I tried to copy as mutch detaills as possible and some detaills are still missing because I want to make some resin copies of it later. The coin on the pictures is 25mm or 1 inch in diamter.
Kind regards. Kees

Hello
Thanks for watching my buildingreport and for the support I get from you. Not only in this report but in forum as whole. Your buildings really encourage me to build.
I worked on the Pelikaan again. On the wheelhouse I wanted something to watch at so I started building an interior. It's meanth to be scematic and it is not on scale. But I think it looks good later when you look trough the small windows of the wheelhouse

Hi Kees
Mmmm....I wonder. Is it the internal accommodation of the cabins that you're also going to be building???
Cheers
Patrick

Hello fellow shipbuilders, Meanwhile I made the roof and the so-called "Pet" and that makes the bridge really complete. It was very hard to find the correct shape and it took me more cardboard and ps plate than I wanted. But at the end it worked out well.

Cooling at the outside of the hul. I also finishes the bowplate and some other things. Just decided to make a keel also before making the moulds. Than every hull will be complete with keel.

I have been wroking on the Fore, Main and Mizzen top masts and cross trees.
For the crosstress I used a elispe templete. It was great help.
The parts and finished crosstrees

My name is Geoff and I have been building the MS Constitution. I basically followed Bob Hunts practicum. I am now ready to begin the masting and rigging part. I am very impressed with the other Constitution build logs and look forward to see them all develope Here are a few pictures of my progress so far. Thanks Geoff

I am working on the lower masts and followed all the dimensions off the plans. The dowels supplied with the kit were not up to parr so I made my own out of square basswood stock. The square stock was chucked into my drill press and turned down to size. To simulate the iron bands and chaffing area I used styrene. I used CA to glue the styrene to the wood. The lower masts were then test on the ship and the caps dry fitted in place The lower mast will be painted white.
