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


Recommended Posts

Kees,

 

Marcus should be able to read Dutch, something in his genes ;) Thanks for mentioning the book. I'll have a look around too, interesting

 

Cheers

 That would be great. I like the book very mutch because there are a lot of details about the ships. I believe the builders didn't work with plans, just by memory and a craftmens eye. In the book are some withnesreports from a man who observed the building of "bomschuiten" for a while.

 

Some time ago a group started crowdfunding to build a replica of a "Bomschuit" because they had found the original keel and some other parts under a dyke. I believe it is the KW76. Ithe replica is being build in Spakenburg.

 

The keel and parts were displayed last summer in front of the Andreas church in Katwijk. This beautiful church is found on many photo's with Bomschuiten on the beach of Katwijk. The church was used for many years as a wearhouse and saltstorage for the fishingcompanies in Katwijk. (the salt still causes a lot of problems and is very expensive to remove) We (protestant church) raise money all year trough to pay for the restauration ans cleaning of the salt.

This one, for instance

You see the typical design of the bomschuit: it is like a box...

They were designed to get ashore at high tide, so that they could be unloaded and serviced at low tide.

This because many of the fishing villages at the northsea did not have a harbour (completely impossible to dug a harbour in the flat sandy beaches.

Hello Marcus. I bought that model in a secondhand shop for the price of a couple of beers. It's called a Bomschuit and it is scratchbuild (not by me ;) ) but it's not very acurate, more a decorational model. I think the scale is around 1/20. If you are interested there is a very good book about these ships written by E.W. Petrejus, 1954. I have a copy but it is in Dutch. Maybe there is an english translation somewhere.

 

Kind regards, Kees

Kees,

Thanks. It is the mast in the back that got me confused. I do have several books in pdf form on flat and round boats.

 

I know the name Petrejus and I think I can find something from him on Google.

Another book I have 'Vlaamse Visserij en Vissersvaartuigen' book 2, by Gaston Desnerck, 1976, bought it a long time ago in Amsterdam at the book store 'de Slechte'. I paid 30 guilders for it and looked it up recently and it is now 330.00 Euros. I am missing Book 1., but I am not going to pay 330.00 Euros for that one.

 

While I am on the subject there is a freebee floating around from before 1895-1905 called Ship Building from its beginnings by Emile van Konijnenburg, It is in 3 parts and in English. Nice plans, good descriptions and many boats and last but not least several German books on these types of boats. The Germans have written much on this subject.

 

For the none Dutch people here; The Dutch had numerous types of flat and round bottom boats. Every town that has a wharf has a many types of these boats. For pleasure, for freight, passengers, etc.

 

Several years ago I started writing an article on this for the Nautical Journal. It got huge as I was describing every boat possible with no end in sight. So I put it away. I can split it up in sections.

 

Sorry for hijacking the thread......................... back to you.... Kees.

 The vessel on the right does the foremast fold back?

 

 

Yes thats because the boats were pulled high on the beach in fall and winter. The boat with all the gear, sails and flags on it is very strange. I think it was on display or something maybe for some important people to show. Normaly they were like the boats with the mast fold back.

Had some work done on the Pelikaan. All the details under and next to the spraydeck, the fish collecting bin, the railing on the spraydeck and added the fishingline guids on the deck.

 

Now I want to finish the inside of the bullwark and then i will add the front piece of the ship to the hull. I have to find a solution for the electric wiring.

 

Kind regards. Kees

Hello Kees,

 

I just recently found your build log and have read it from the beginning.  Your model is turning out wonderfully and the level of your craftsmanship in styrene is so impressive - some of the best I have seen.  Thanks for sharing your techniques and videos - I have learned a great deal.  It is logs such as yours that inspire me to do better with my own modeling.  I hope your health is improving - keep well.

Kees,

The details on this boat of yours are amazing. You're thinking of everything that belongs on this boat.

Excellent job.

Working on the Pelikaan.

 

I started on the bullwarks and realized they are the last structural things I have to build. All the other parts have been build and now is the time to put together everything.

Yesterday I glued the spraydeck on the hull (and with this the maindeck and the structure under the spraydeck which were attached to the spraydeck)

After that I finished the bullwarks and the next thing is to finish (sanding etc) the hull so I can paint them.

I also made the metal stands. They are attached to the hull and will be fastened to a wooden plank. It's just the structural part the finishing will follow. The pipes are hollow so I can lead electric wire through them later.

Hi Kees

 

I recall that you were building a model of a trawler, but why did you post a photo of the full-sized superstructure in the photo? Are you trying to trick us into thinking that that's what you built? Ahem...of course you built it and of course that would've taken a heck of a lot of work and no doubt, only you and a few select other modellers would've been able to do it so well.

 

Damn fine job, Kees. It looks so realistic.

 

Amazing.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick
