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.

Thank you Robin.
Here now some pictures with the ship at his final place and with lights on
In reality the light is not so bright, that comes at the pictures because I had the shutter of the camera open from 1-4 sec. But it's bright enough that you could see most parts inside (also the rest of the dust )
Regards,
Siggi

gieb8688 reacted to chris watton in Newsworthy updates from Chris Watton
It's been a while.
I was working on Victory, but then I was sent my new designs for the Prince in laser cut and PE parts, so I figuered I'd build up the prince hull first, so that I can courier the hull over to Amati. They will then get a very good carver to make all new carvings for the model, have them cast, and then send me back the hull and loose catings. I can then continue, and finally finish the Prince!
When the prince is with Amati, I shall complete the Victory drawings/plans/instructions, which should be no later than Summer.
I know Amati are keen to finalise both Prince and Victory, and I am hoping Victory will be ready for release either late this year or very early next.
I have attached a couple of pics of Prince in progress. I have just completed the first planking. I re-done the designs to include three more main bulkheads, (almost) full length decks from lover gun deck upwards, and the new gun port designs that are now intergeral to the hull, rather than the 1mm ply gun port patterns of the old design.

gieb8688 reacted to toms10 in USF CONSTELLATION by toms10 - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - scale 1:85 - first wooden build
Wow, this build log is now at an end... I never thought it would happen. I kept a work journal and the final tally for the actual working time (not counting research) was 785 hours over 13 1/2 months. I can no longer use the excuse it is my first wooden ship build! Good thing it is only a hobby or that would really put the pressure on! Here are a couple of pics of the final product. I will have more pics in the completed kit section.
Thank you all for your help, support and kind words. This would not have been possible with out MSW. Now on to building a case and thinking about which ship to build next. I will post some pics of the case and the "final resting place" for my Constellation when I get to that point.
In the mean time I will be following and learning from everyone here. Thank you again and happy modelling.
Tom
