Really great looking riveting job Kees. That's one of the reasons I have tinnitus - driving and bucking too many rivets.

Congrats with your new position, that's very rewording work.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Kees, 

You are back. Beautiful job on the deck. I like how the planks are different shades of brown which looks more realistic.

Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Update: I made openings in the deck for the hatches. The small hatches are for the herringbarrels which are stored in the fishhold. The bigger hatches are for the netstorage

Thanks for welcoming me back and for the kind response to my work on the deck. 

 

@Jan: The red is the basecoat and the hull will be painted black later. The inside of the the railing (Bulwark) stays red and offcoars the part of the hull beneath the waterline.

I started building the different hatches. First I cut out the base in the wooden deck an after that I build the border and the hatch. When ready  will place the border and the hatch in the wooden deck.

Thanks for all the kind words and all the likes and views. I really enjoy building this fishingship but I have neglected to post more often. Now I have settled in my new job and education I hope to post more regularly.

Kees, very nice!! Question: the copper wire is that 1mm? where do you purchase that in NL?

 

I do find 0,5 but I also need 1mm and can't find it. (Maybe not looking hard enough....)

I got my wire (granted it’s annealed steel), from a Habitat For Humanity ReStore thrift store.  I think I paid $2-$3 for two different sizes in spools.

Extremely nice work on this model Kees.  Very interesting build methods producing great results and your Milliput figures are true art.  I have read through your other build logs and admire your styrene work and weathering techniques.  I look forward to future updates and watching this build progress.

The wire in the picture is more like 0.4 or 0.3mm but I will have a look for you. Maybe I can find some 1mm wire. I do know there is 1mm brass rodd for sale in hobbystores but thats very stiff rod.

You might try annealing the brass.  That should soften it.  It will work harden as you bend it so the annealing will probably need to be repeated.

haha, I am in the electronics business.... But no 1mm solid core copper. The main there is either stranded wire or solid core but then 1mm2 or up.

So As said I do have the 0.4 and 0.5 but 1mm seems hard to find. And some times you find 1mm brass but as said above that tends to be quite stiff.

 

Well we keep looking.

 

Thanks for all teh help/answers.  Hans
