Hi Kees

 

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

 

Cheers

And here I was thinking "people".. they're on the drawings.

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

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.

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.

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.

Thank you gentlemen. It is very motivating when people like you give me compiments.

 

About the building. I took a risk because I never did any casting before but I have seen lots of examples on the internet before. So then I knew it could be done. After years of building I achieved a healthy dose of confidence when it comes te modelshipbuilding. I have noticed that I am less overconfident and that I can better assess how much work and time a build will cost. Now I just take time to overthink a build en decide how I am going to build. When I have a plan, I start building and it seems to go all by itself. I am sure there are more people here who recognize what I try to tell. I see the confidence in your builds too.

 

Now the only thing that can go wrong is the hull and thats the most important piece of the build so I really hope it will be a succes. This week I planned to start laminating.

 

Kind regards, Kees

Or he is planning to issue his own line of model kits of beam trawlers :)

 

@Kees,

probably I misunderstand what I see (and/or do not understand the mechanics of the ship): the picture of the real-life fishbins suggests that the bottom is not flat on the deck, but slightly lifted on the outside. In your version the bottom is perfectly flat. What do I miss?

Hello Jan,

 

The bins are flat on the deck in normal position but the skipper can lift them up a bit with a winch so the fish goes to the central bin easier. There are two hinges placed on the deck.

 

Kind regards, Kees

 

 

The bins can also be folded.
