Hr. Ms. O 19 1938 by Piet - FINISHED - scale 1:50 - submarine of the Royal Navy Netherlands in service 1939 - 1945


Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for visiting and your sound advice, really appreciate it.

 

@ Mark T:  Yeah, overal it's not looking all that bad but - - - as Remco would say, "I'm not very happy."  ;)

We'll see what happens next.

 

@ Jan: you are right, as usual  :)  But it was something I needed to try.  There is always a plan B, plug.

No, fake won't work on this one it has to be a miniature dingy hanging in the cradle.

Actually, if all yuns recall I was seriously considering the plug method but then I got this bug up my derrière and when a stubborn Dutchman gets afflicted with that bug there is not much changing his mind.  But, time will tell.

 

@ Dave:  So sorry for you being swamped with the April project but it's for a good purpose.  Yep, hope to see all yuns next year.

 

@ Carl, Thanks my friend and the broken ribs are not a big deal.  As far as it is now being degraded to a prototype I'll be considering the plug method for the final version.  If I had cemented straight grain strips to the bottom of the ribs this wouldn't have happened.  I can always whittle the excess off after the planking is completed.  Hey, we learn as we go along and It's a challenge.

 

@ Dave B:  Thanks for the input and I agree with the plug method, that's what I was going to do but - - - 

I'm just to darn cheap to go out and buy 1 mm ply but then again - - with a very possible next build I'll need lots of 1 and 2 mm ply.  Soooooh, stay tuned what this old mad Dutchman will come up with  :)

 

Did some planking today and I'm at the bilge level now, tricky. 

 

Cheers to all,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Hi Josh, good to see you here at my rather messy shipyard.  Yes, I hope to be there as well, if the creek don't rice and having no means of propulsion - - -  ;)  It should be a great thrill for all of us to meet each other face to face and have good conversarion.

 

Hey John, you're full of it you know  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :D Just don't give up your daytime job though - - - oh wait, that is your daytime job.  Yep, we are still dingying along, this planking thing goes slow, especially the lapstrake thing.  Two more planks per side and then to the inside.

No pics yet, it'll be a surprise - - - either a smoking heap of ashes or a facsimile of a dingy  ;)  And yes, I did have a Leffe alright - - - so what are agoing to do about it, eh?   :D  :D

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Hello everyone and thanks for your patience, waiting for the O19 dingy progress.

I finally put the last planks on that little bugger and worked on the gunnels.  I also started to put the rower's seats in and the helmsman seat.

Overall she's not too bad looking for a prototype and will finish it.  It'll be good as a s spare on the display board.

 

In my humble opinion it was a worthwhile excercise.  I found that building a miniature model like this plank on frame is doable.  However, there are several things I will do differently now that I have gained the experience.

First of all I'll use build-up frames to prevent them from breaking. 

Just as with the larger models it's equally important to keep all the frames square and plumb to the keel. 

Working klinker planking with 1.5 mm or so thick planks is a real challenge at these small sizes. Here too a I think that a slightly wider plank that's pre-tapered will work better then to shave it after the plank is on. 

That in itself will be a challenge but I also found it was rather easy thinning the planks down after they are cemented on. 

 

Okay, enough about the should'vs and show how the dingy looks like as of this afternoon.  The first 5 pics were taken this morning before lunch.  The rower's seats are just stuck on loose.

 

The last three were taken late afternoon after I cemented the rower's seats on, made and installed the bow deck and the helmsman seat.  Next will be finishing the gunnels, the oar thingy's, the oards and the rudder. Then some nice dark grey paint.

Thanks everyone for your very kind comments and also my thanks to all who clicked the like button.

 

Hi Dave, thank you  :blush:

 

Hoi Remco, version 2.0 must be better otherwise making a prototype makes no sense  ;)

 

Hi Popeye, thank you my friend.

 

Hi Omega, thanks but not sweet enough though  :)

 

Hoi Carl, thank you as well, hmmm, craftsmanship - - - just puts'n around and lucking out some here and there.

 

Hi Daniel, must be a prototype because too many small errors and not worthy to put on board the O19. This was just a learning curve to see if a plank on frame miniature could be build.  I found it can but it's not easy.

 

Hi David B, thank you and I'll hoist one when she's done, oh heck, I'll hoist one anyhow  :D

 

Hi Mark, thanks for visiting and yes, that's version 1.0.  When a person is not quite happy with the results then we must try again.  Isn't that the reason you are working on version 2.0 ????   ;)

 

Hey Nenad, so good to see you here and taking the time away from your beloved CS to chat with me.  Thank you my friend and if an airplane guy can build a dingy anybody can.  So, here is the challenge to you, four small boats for your CS.  But use the plug method.  :)

 

Cheers to all.

Hello everyone,

 

Well, I tackled the rudder today.  I made the gudgeons , pintels. rudder and helm.  None of this fine machining we have seen from Remco though.  First of all I don't have any machine tools and secondly, the size is just too small.  

I used small pieces of 1 mm brass tube soldered to a narrow strip of brass sheet for the gudgeons and 1/2 mm brass rod soldered to narrow strips of brass sheet.  I bend the gudgeon strips to fit the sternpost before soldering the small pieces of tube to them, which I didn't do for the pintels.   The fit is not as nice and I'll bend them fist as well in version 2.0.  Remember that this is just the prototype.

 

The helm is removable as is the rudder just like the real thing.  With a coat of paint it should look decent enough for a spare.

Next will be the oars and oar thingies and lifting rings, at least one at the bow. I think we can hook a hook to the rudder gudgeon to help lift the dingy out of it's little house below decks.

That is absolutely amazing - I particularly like the gudgeons & pintles, were they assembled using soft solder?

 

If it wasn't for this dinghy and omega1234's Mystic I'd never have believed it possible to incorporate such detail at such a small scale!

Hoi Sjors, thank you - - - hmmmm, just one?  Tell you what, you come over to Dave's get-to-gether next April there should be plenty little boats for you  ;)

 

Hi Row, good to see you in my shipyard and thanks for your very kind words.  The rudder hardware is soft soldered.  The brass sheet is too thin for silver, it curl up when applying a flame to it.  

Yeah, Omega's work is truly amazing.  Shows what can be done with a steady hand and [patience.

 

There are a few very talented miniature ship builders here on MSW and someday I'll get to make my VOC Jacht in a 6 inch lamp.

 

What are you building Row?  I don't see a link under your signature.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Hello everyone and thank you all for visiting and your like votes, much appreciated.

 

Well, dinner is done and i watched a fabulous nature show with my dear bride Gwen.  Birds of paradise in New Guinea.  

So, now back to the dingy saga, almost finished with version 1.0.  My wife asked me also, version 1.0?  Proto type?  That means version 2.0 is coming up?   Plan to gold plate that one????  She has a wry sense of humor, must be her English blood  ;)

 

Today I made the four oar locks, the bow lifting / mooring ring and started with the oars.  I also painted everything dark grey and it's not looking all that bad.  I want to let the paint dry and then do some fine sanding on the outside and one more coat of paint.  It's amazing how much time goes into such a little boat, especially when it's klinker planked.

 

Okay, here are a few pics.

 

post-1399-0-49388400-1415670612_thumb.jpg

These oar locks are made from thin brass sheet and 0.5 mm brass rod.  The strips are about 1.5 mm wide and 5 mm long.  I bend them into a U shape around a 1 mm rod and drilled a 0.5 mm hole in it for the pin.  Then soft-soldered it together and trimmed them.  

 

post-1399-0-91529700-1415670574_thumb.jpg

First I made an eye bolt with a 0.5 mm eye.  Then a ring from 0,5 mm brass rod and looped it into the eye bolt and soft soldered it shut.  It' too crude to my liking and will remake the ring from thinner brass rod.  That's why it's a prototype ;)   I drilled a hole in the bow frame and cemented the eye bolt in.

Yep, it's klinker planked alright.

 

post-1399-0-67491700-1415670594_thumb.jpg

Here I have put the oar locks into their little holes so they can swivel when rowing.  They'll be readjusted when the oars are completed for a better fit and appearance. 

 

post-1399-0-42541400-1415670635_thumb.jpg

Here is the dingy with two coats of dark grey paint and two oars.  Okay, I only painted one oar because I was still working on the second one when i decided to paint.  I may have to make the oar blades a little longer and thin the shanks some some.

Mr. Piet, Sir.... You never cease to amaze AND thoroughly entertain us. For a modeler, every trip to your build seems like a walk through an endless candy store.

So, what cha gonna do with that awful looking "prototype" once you turn to building "the real deal"?

I don't even have to tell you what I think you should do with it....do I?

Hello Dave and thanks for dropping in, it's always a pleasure chatting with you and our other friends here in MSW.  Thank you for your kind words and I guess having fun with what I'm doing kinda shows??

Well, actually version 1.0 was meant to just lay on the display board with the rest of the reject items and spares i still need to make  ;)

Oh, I know what you have in mind - - -well, we'll see.  I had something else in mind though but time will tell.
