Tadeusz43 Posted February 28, 2016 Share #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 mmdd, AnobiumPunctatum, hexnut and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadeusz43 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share #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 Share #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 mmdd, mtaylor and tasmanian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matle Posted November 12, 2016 Share #9 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadeusz43 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share #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.
