Pelikaan 1999 by kees de mol - FINISHED - scale 1/75 - Dutch Beamtrawler

[kees de mol]

I will update on the new project later

 

The sumwings are finished but not yet complete. That comes when I give them their final positions.





3 off 6

When you've eaten enough garlic ... They look great, Kees. It's one per ship?

[amateur]

Hi Cog,

 

From what I've seen, it is two per ship (one on either side). Quite a lot of info here: www.sumwing.nl[\url]

(unfortunatedly, dutch only)

 

Kees: are you also going to attach the chains, or is that undoable at this scale?

Jan,

 

I thought so too, it would be normal practice. When I saw the site of the SumWing you only see a single apparatus in the videos, but that is logical, considering the clear view in that 'clear' water. However, since I saw Kees build only three, I started wondering ...

[kees de mol]

Yes it is as Carl says. I can write a lot about it but I think there is a YT-video which explains everything. It is made on the OD-1 which is almost the same as the KW88.

@Carl. The side with the chains will be facing the inner side of the bulwarks so thats why I made this a little bit scematic. But on the set for my own model there are still chains. No one will ever see them but I will know they are there

 

The bigger chains for lifting the sumwings I will add later

[popeye the sailor]

with the caliber of craftsmanship I see you do.........I'll wait and let you surprise me     nice progress on the sumwings...........garlic?!?!?!.....got anyone willing to hang 'round you while this is going on?   .    actually,  I found some netting material in a craft store.......good for the larger ships.   for smaller ships I find that they sell bunched up bath sponges {only word I know to describe them} work well.   yea......I know.......we find our supplies in our travels

 

rest assured that no vampire will be mugg'in you in the next week or two

I made some pictures of the garlicnets. They have a nice mesh from arround 2 millimeter. Today I robbed the Turkish supermarket so I think I have enough nets now.

Those are stretch nets, Kees ... your fish will get through the maze!!! Lucky fishes ...

 

Set backs ... which!?!?!?

[kees de mol]

Set backs ... which!?!?!?

 

I made a mistake with the back of the ship but I discovered it just after I had glued everything with superglue   And I have some health issues (the reason why I have so much 'buildingtime') I am now awaiting a new treatment but it can take some weeks before they call me. This gives me and my family a lot of uncertainty. After every smile there is a story

[mtaylor]

I hope you qualify for the new treatment, Kees.  After dealing (and continue to deal with) my Admiral's health issues, I understand the uncertainty.  

 

The ship is looking great, by the way.

[cog]

Kess,

 

The err in building can more easily be overcome, although, superglue ...!!! did you test fit, and glue it on without looking ...  

 

I'm sorry to hear about the health problem. Your health is an entire different matter, and I can understand the uncertainty for you and your family. I fervently hope the new treatment will have the desired result, making life easier and enjoyable for you and your family!! You are in my thoughts ...

[popeye the sailor]

so true........nothing is more fragile,  than one's health.   you had mentioned being ill a while ago.......is this ongoing?    I wish you well my friend,  and hope there is a good outcome.  the sumwings look great.....I'm sure you'll have no problems dealing with the other thing  

[Omega1234]

Hi Kees

 

Like the other's have said, my thoughts are with your best health as well.

 

Take care.

 

Cheers

I went a litlle further with the structure of the back of the ship. It was more work than I expected because i want to make the structure removable because of the electric wiring for the numerous leds in the model.

 

No more talking... here are the provisional results (times three but I only show one)

 

 

 

Now on with all the details.

Marvellous work, Kees. The LEDs will most certainly bring the ship to life. I'm looking forward to the photos/video once they're in.

 

Cheers

Hoi Kees, my thoughts and best wishes for a successful treatment and recovery.  Fantastic work on the build.

 

Cheers,

[cog]

Hoi Kees,

 

Now this looks promising!!! I can't wait to see more ...

 

Any news on the treatment ... hope you are feeling good!

 

Cheers

[popeye the sailor]

Splendid!.........I can't wait to see some color on her!     top notch work......the detail is fantastic!  

[amateur]

Hi Kees,

 

Looking good!

Are you going to do the interior of the brigde on this one, or will there be faked glazing?

Hello Jan and everybody else. Thanks for watching and hitting the like-button.

 

There is a little interiour in the bridge but I masked the windows for painting. The interiour is scematic because the windows are so small. But when people look trough the windows they will see 'something' like an interiour. When finished the windows will get clearfoil.

Hardly schematic ... at that scale it's clear enough. Beautiful work!

Couldn't have said it any better, Carl!

 

Kees - lovely work.

Hmmm..... Wondering... How does fully detailed look like in your definition?

I wouldn't label this as schematic. More like: quite detailed.

 

Jan

[popeye the sailor]

very well done Kees......reminds me of  the star trek bridge      sadly my friend........that's the drawback to small windows.    you can go nutz in there,  and perhaps half of it can be seen.   we as modelers wear it as a thorny crown............"but we know it's there".   thank the model god for the camera  

[mtaylor]

I was thinking the Star Trek bridge also.  Nice work on the bridge, Kees.   So much detail in there as it is, I'm not sure what else you could put in.

[kees de mol]

Yes the wheelhouse of modern fishingships have a lot of modern technology. I think there is more technology than You find on the Enterprise. I called my wheelhouse scematic because I made it based just on photo's made a few bigger 'devices' in stead of all the devices and computers. On the real ship there are also lots of appliances and computers on the ceiling. I make some leds in the wheelhouse and I think this will give a nice effect when you look trough the windows.

 

And as said.. Maybe nobody will see but i will know

[kees de mol]

Thanks everybody for watching, comments and like's.

 

Today a dryfit for the parts. I finished the railings and some other details. Now I start with the deck and the front of the ship. Nothing is fit yet and some parts need some finishing.
