My mind is totally boggled by the detail you get by using that plastic stuff.  Superb realism.  Nice metal work too Kees.

 

Cheers,

Thank you. some of the wires are vissible because I couldn't place them in the tubes. I think it won't be noticable when the masts are painted.

 

I learn a lot of these models and the most important thing I have learned is that I never build 3 models again in my life. In fact I've canceled two

requests for models because next year I will only build for my self

Thank you all for your enthousiasm

 

I worked on the masts and they are finished now. I have build the reinforcemwent at the front of the masts.

And a picture of the whole package with al the resingcasts and polyesterlaminated parts. With this package I hope to make someone happy, a man who was very helpfull to me in the past.

Something funny. I used the last drops of pu resin that was left. But after casting this is what happened.

Thank you. Happily I managed to make a full set for my friend because I had made some castings before and and the last castings were very small and went okay. The last 60ml I used for the exhaustpipe and I think it became a little to hot.

 

I still don't know how you make such complex work look so easy.

 

 Thank you. I build everything in smaller steps and I do a lot of thinking before I start to build. If you see the whole mast it is very complex but I look at it like it is a combination of 5 or 6 parts in one.

 

But I make mistakes to and not everything goes as I wanted. I think every shipbuilder will know how it is. 3 steps forward, 2 steps back ^_^

Hello foks

 

I started to make some rigging for the model because there are a lot of blocks on this ship. The first ones to build are the jumperblocks. These are used to lift parts of the nets. Their shapes makes it possible to lift the nets, chains shackles, hooks and other stuff without damage.

A very bad picture of the originals
IMG_20160421_130443_zpsau8eeswa.jpg

The housings cut out of thin brass sheet.
IMG_20160420_214856_zps7bvgui7d.jpg

And then the rolls. I made these on my small lathe. First I formed a toolbit/chisel and then I made the form
IMG_20160420_170543_zpsst9ykzz5.jpg

Yes! Finely there are some video images from the cave :dancetl6:

 

Offcourse people: Do Not Try This At Home! B)
 

And the results

IMG_20160421_200936_zpsfajppqtf.jpg

 

It is now one year ago that I recieved the drawings for this model and soon after that I started building. It all takes some more time than I planned but the results are more important to me.

 

No building activity tommorrow  because I hope to visit the Intermodellbau in Dortmund.

 

 

 

It will cost me money though....

 

So please dont tell the missus :cheers:

Kees,

Uitstekend werk (excellent work). The masts and all the details is just amazing. It looks like you just took the actual boat and shrunk every piece of it. Nothing left behind. I am taking notes of your techniques as I have a lot to learn about brass and your molds.

This built is a nice treat and very educational for me.

Bedankt.

Marcus

Thank you Mark, Marcus and Omega and all the others for hiiting the like-button.

 

I made some blocks again, 12 this time. They are blocks with 3 rollers. Here a few pictures of how I worked.

LOL, Wow, like Mark said, 'amazing production line'. The details on the blocks is awesome. I think if I did this in wood it would pretty much be impossible.

very nicely done 3-sheave blocks Kees,

 

Nils

Ahh tank you for the right name Nils. Sometime I have to guese the names.

 

LOL, Wow, like Mark said, 'amazing production line'. The details on the blocks is awesome. I think if I did this in wood it would pretty much be impossible.

Marcus

It feels like production when I am building these things but I didnt want to buy them from billing boats or an other brand. I think (hope) these blocks will look more realistic when the model is finished

 

He just stimulates you by doing it ... increasing the bar ...

I am very happy to learn from other people because all the thinks I build I can do only because of other helpfull and gifted people. I am also happy to contribute to this forum so others may learn something from me.

 

Please enjoy my build wich comes slowly to an end and hold on for the next build.... (rumour says it has sails on it... and wood! :o )

Kees ,

 

Announcing the end ... not a bit premature ...? And you're changing faith it seems ... atleast when we can trust the rumours ... wood and cloth ... must be wrong ...

Maybe a little. But as you can see in my buildinglog I've been building in sections. At this moment the most sections are ready and now I have to assemble them to create a full ship. Then painting with the airbrush which I am really looking forward to.

 

Kind regards, Kees
