although 1960 design our P&O boats had two stern tubes and i think i only ever saw beer stowed in them, when they were removed the TOT (torpedo operating tank was opened up and became the new stowage, lol the place was always running with condensation oil and in rough weather other things as well, the in board torp stowages were spare bunks -
Still drying and getting fainter, had to take a photo then put the decks under weights to stop any bowing

i forget whether they used different torpedos for fwd and aft shots, im sure they tracked the front shots but after tubes were almost a kind of self defence (chance in a million)

and even if i was my Victory is not going to sell more than its kit price

Not quite sure where your question is leading, are you building to sell ?
-
sorry with my abrupt answer, many people think that a well made model will go for large amounts of money, but it is rarely the case, unless commission built, there is alwaays a i in a 1000000 chance that something on the market that someone is looking for but sadly not the one you are referring to

anyone seen any decent photos of a trawler deck wrt weathering and would a 1930 trawler have its deck treenailed, i have used lime strips for the decking, and as it is a working boat it looks far to clean

Good evening everyone having asked a few people i have decided to change the way i post my updates for this build. i so wanted to keep it clean and tidy, but as it is quite a big build there are lots of little projects that can be progressed Wheel house continues to hide the wiring i am trying to put it behind panels, the three lights under the bridge are in a position of my choosing as it is being built for my wife, and thats where she wanted them MAIN DECK so far i have used 50m of lime strip 1x5mm and need about the same again to completed the fordeck the hatched took me a while, as the kit just reuired them to be fixed the the lined deck, so i had to plank around them paint used for the hatches is MIG IDF green i bought for the D9R that i never finished they will later on fit like this

Trawler deck planking
Kevin replied to Kevin's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
thank you everyone for the comments and PM's Well i completed the boat deck planking, there will be a couple of small areas that are not cluttered with trawler gear i dont think it turned out to bad, this is prior to any sanding my next question is, should i treenail, and what would be the best best of going about it?
-
lovely photos but i was never ever going to paint mine pink
-
i take lots of photo's but dont tend to get as much modelling done as i would like, i have been trying to decide what way i want to go, but seam to have found myself in large scale doing something different, the Victory will have a dry dock built for her this summer, my current build will be a cutaway, like the partly built SD14, and i would love to do a 1/30 ish Flower Class Corvette or Ton Class Sweeper that way to keep me happy for when i retire in a couple of years
