sandorm Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #16 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Cabin ! To avoid the problem finding the correct angle of the cabin front I used an easy "helping construction " - not included in the kit @Alex -- thank you for the hint in your log Edited April 2, 2013 by sandorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandorm Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Detail view - Working on window frames .... The painting of the cabin didn't work quite adequate for me and I had to put some glue to the left cabin edge at a certain point after painting as well I should have been waiting longer until the drying process has completely finished , because this made the paint to scrape off Now I take the the best of it -- looks like corrosion -- Vintage, eldered Cheers Edited April 2, 2013 by sandorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye the sailor Posted April 2, 2013 Share #18 Posted April 2, 2013 your Norden looks great Steffen! the "Mary Ann" pilot house was built the same way. I wasn't happy though, because the windows were too small......so I made another one with larger ones. I 've built a few of these Billing Boats....instructions are not the greatest, but the kit is pretty good. I used to have the Mary Ann and the Cux 87 build here, but they were lost in the crash. these two were based on a full hull construction, unlike your build which is a half hull design.......but the hulls are quite simular. your build looks familiar.......did you start this one before the crash?

sandorm Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share #23 Posted December 27, 2016 Today , started planking the deck I want to use some black twine to put between the planks - for gaining some "calk" effect hope it works .... The best way to get a nice curve on the edges of the planks near bow and stern is to cut and taper before glueing !

popeye the sailor Posted December 27, 2016 Share #24 Posted December 27, 2016 well.....hello there! good to see your making progress I got this same boat kit for Christmas...guess I'd better be taking notes structures and layout looks super. very nice choice of colors. I use an archive pen for the simulated calking........a bit less labor intensive. planking looks good so far Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
