Wilhelmina VII (KW140) 1914 by kees de mol - Scale 1/25 - Herring Lugger


Recommended Posts

After sanding the hull I used a lot of polyester filler to give it a smooth surface.

For the final coating I used packaging tape which I applyed in two layers.

This gives a very smooth surface on which I can apply 4 or more coats of wax to prevent the hull (which will act as a plug) form sticking to the glassfiber and polyester in the next step.

Hi Kees

 

Ohhhhhhhhh....I get it now!  The hull's a plug!  Now, that explains a lot.  

 

Innovative, that's for sure.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Yes it's a Plug. Sorry for the misunderstanding. It's hard for me to find words in english so if there is something not clear, feel Free to ask. Thanks for following this build. 

 

Cheers

Kees - It took me a while to understand it was a plug. I should have known from your last build.

I found your new build Kees!   you had me right up to the point where you added the expando foam {I use it too at work}.........but with the revelation that this is a plug for another vacuum form hull,  I understand fully!   I like the way your doing this........it's so cool!   you really have a knack for these hulls......really nice progress so far!  :)

Thanks for catching up! It will be a plug for a polyester/glasfiber hull:)

Sorry I had to remove some dust from this topic but I did manage to build a little on the herringlugger. Health is going great and so the search for suitable work is full trottle, and that is consuming lots of (buildingtime) I feel great about it but I am also verry happy to build again.

 

39747037325_8ecc9c54bb_c.jpg

 

After laminating and trimming the excess fibers I started to separate the hull from the plug. That went well and after a few minutes I had a nice looking lugger hull in my hands.

Then I sanded the fiberstructure smooth and clean because I will add hull plates later with rivets to give the hull a realistic finish

Hull looks good, Kees. Interesting box on the left, built or to be built? Your visor looks a lot like mine ... HBM?

The box is from a Heller Roc Amadour kit and I am building it as a side build. Very nice kit, The visor is indeed from HBM. I buy a lot of stuff there

Thanks. The hull is 112cm long and the thickness is about 1.5mm. The hull is very stiff and cured well before I removed her from the mould. Later I will build in some reinforcements

After sanding the hull I placed a keel and I glued strips of thin plastic to simulate the hullplates. After this it was a lot of work to get a nice finish but it worked well.

Hello Nils. Thanks for yourquestion. The lower strips (directly glued to the hull) were glued with superglue. After that I glued the upper strips with a polymere kit. To fill up the space between the hull and the strip.

I hope that I answered the question for you.

 

Kind regards, Kees

Thanks for your answer Kees,

now I understand how you filled up the hollow spaces due to the overlappeing plastic strips. The result looks splendid. Are you intending to resemble the riveting, as you mentioned earlier with enbossed self adhesive foil....

Hey Nils,

 

I plan to resemble the rivets with 3D pearle paint. This is thick paint solled in small bottles and is used for applying "pearls" to papercraft projects. I will thin it a little with some modge podge and then I will apply it with a toothpic or a piece of brass wire. The results are very good, nice rounded rivetheads and the bonding to the hull is very good.

The rudder has been adjusted a bit and the hull has been smoothly sanded with waterproof grit 1000 and I have carved the joints on the hullplates. Half-round strips were also glued on the hull. After this everything is neatly put in the primer and everything looks nice.

I have made a stand from sturdy cardboard so that the model will be firmly in place.

I also glued cross beams in the hull and on top wooden strips with a trip styrene. That will be the gutter that drains the water from the deck. The trusses also come up here. Everything is smoothly sanded again, because I will not be able to get there again. On the crossbeams I made reinforcements on the places where the masts will come.
