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


Recommended Posts

Kees,

 

Don't forget colours on screen are not always comparable ... to often they differ on screen from reality, even between different screens you will notice a slight, or large, 'discolouration' ... Having said that, you need to do what you feel is closest to your hart ...

Yes it is true. Every photo gives a different colour but I have visited the ship a few time and I am sure the colour is more purpl/red then red/brown. But I will sort this out. Just spraypaint a hull in the 'right' colour and then I will look at it a few days if I am satisfied with it.

 

Kind regards, Kees

For the trawler I needed a propellor and usually I buy these at the hobbystore but this time I couldnt find what I was looking for and the props I found were expensive (around 15-20 euro's). I need three so it would be a very big gap in my budget.

I looked on the internet for pictures of propellors but there were mostly beautiful new and shiny and thats not the way I wanted them.

Nice bit of research on the paint color Cees.  A bummer it's not available on the market but I'm sure you'll get the mix just right.  Make copious notes on all your mix badges so you can duplicate it in larger quantities.

 

The props look magnificent!  I'm amazed at what can be done with this styrene stuff.  May be someday I have to try it.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Nice props.  I've always used brass, now I'll have to try styrene.

take a look at a burgundy color......you might like that.    the sun and weather can do things to paint as well.......I did notice a difference to the color in different areas of the picture

Hello everybody. Thank you for the reply's and for hitting the like-button!

 

I finished the keels and the bowthrusters. These thruster makes it possible to manoeuvre without using the rudder and without making forward motion. The props will be added later when the hulls are painted.

Thank You all for your response and hitting the Like-button :P

 

Ik started building the mast of the ship (In Holland we call it the voor(front)portaal but I dont know how it's called in English). I had some very good drawings whitch were printed out (very kindly by the guy who gave me the drawings) in scale 1/75. At first sight I thought it wouldn't be a lot of work and my plan was to post the mast here totally finished but I found out it was loads of work so I make an update to show how far I am now.

 

I started gluing some styreen together and soon ther was a nice mast born at the attick.

Hello Kees

 

Nice work on the ladders. How did you prevent the preceding rung de soldering when you soldered the next adjacent rung? Did you use a heat sink?

Hello Kees

 

Nice work on the ladders. How did you prevent the preceding rung de soldering when you soldered the next adjacent rung? Did you use a heat sink?

 

I try to solder as fast as possible and I use solderingflux. To solder fast I set the Iron on a high temp arround 400 C and it is a thin tip so I only heat a small part.

 

The thicker vertical brass rods I glue to the paper so I only have to worry about the thinner horizontal rods.

I did some work on the frontmast. The railings are done and the topmast with the furuno radars. Some wiring prepared for the steamlights later.

Some progress just because I am proud of it. I made the trawl-beams and glued them to the mast.

The most work is in installing the ridiculously small led's On every mast are just 5 led's but it was a total nightmare to place them and their wiring. But it works :cheers:  I hope to make a small vid for you later.
