Tadeusz43 Posted February 28, 2016 #1 Posted February 28, 2016 Gjoa is smallest of polar ships. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gj%C3%B8a For the Gjoa I chose solid hull made as “ bread and butter”. The material is HDF board 6 mm thick and soft wood for top section. Top section has a greater thickness which allows the cutout the desk line with proper sheer and camber. Top section Hull planking with strips of veneer Tadeusz WackoWolf, IgorSky, tasmanian and 9 others 12 Quote

Tadeusz43 Posted November 11, 2016 Author #6 Posted November 11, 2016 Hi, After a long break, I go back to modeling. Meantime, my workshop was twice flooded with water from a broken pipe fortunately there was no damage tools, machines and models. I am working on equipment today installed a fife rail, pin rails along the bulwark, windlass, pump and winch as also deckhouses, skylights and companionway.

michael mott Posted November 12, 2016 #8 Posted November 12, 2016 What a great shot of the clothing that the men wore. It doesn't look that warm for a polar type expedition though.

Michael Well, it's not cold all year round - that picture was taken in September, in Nome where, or so wiki tells me, the temperature ranges between 40 and 70 °F (5-20 Celsius) in September. Otherwise they were imitating local clothing, wearing furs: http://libweb5.princeton.edu/visual_materials/maps/websites/northwest-passage/amundsen3.jpg mmdd and mtaylor 2 Quote

Tadeusz43 Posted November 26, 2016 Author #11 Posted November 26, 2016 Hi, Ship boats I made as epoxy and glass fiber laminate using fine glass fabric ( 25 g/sq. m and 150 g/sq. m.) . Laminated structure was made on wooden core covered with layer of paraffin. It was 4-5 layer of glass fabric with fine on the top. After full cure of epoxy light sanding was applied for better paint adhesion. Final painting with acrylic paint. Tadeusz mtaylor, juzek, captainbob and 6 others 9 Quote
