St Nectan by Kevin - FINISHED - Mountfleet Models - 1/32 - Steam Trawler - Completed June 2020


Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone, yep two posts in one day and LOL i have still got 12 working days left

 

put everything on that i have made up for a photo tonight, so i can start to work out how i am going to achieve making her look like a working boat, next month should be back to the hull and do some catch up work with that, i would say she is about 50% built now, but then on top of that there is all the clutter to be madeIMG_5666.thumb.JPG.c133363440454c851a9ef0e6a926784e.JPG

the bridge walkway railings still need to be adjusted, as they form the handles on the steps leading down

Good evening everyone

 

progressing with the railings and netting also the stations on the bridge roof are nearly complete

 

have stained half the netting with a Flory wash to see the difference as i tone the white primer downIMG_5688.thumb.JPG.925a7dcf7794f35dcc0a99272d7c0b00.JPGIMG_5689.thumb.JPG.101100cb04b535cfc916b6425de10e6c.JPGIMG_5690.thumb.JPG.c56b1b3fd8d5fd4a568a5fe7e2ed7d6a.JPGIMG_5691.thumb.JPG.545415957131625b2b900569ee339330.JPGIMG_5692.thumb.JPG.79163eb9699f50f1a65d7d99a40fa65d.JPGIMG_5693.thumb.JPG.436f6b82a709ce4915f774d3db8e9ab6.JPGIMG_5694.thumb.JPG.0a7eb8048214e6f5bb6c6f0189dcc0f1.JPGIMG_5681.thumb.JPG.4ebc9a9f554738cfa13b126c973d05d6.JPGIMG_5682.thumb.JPG.1da4ab0e7ed6e2040b901220f5da5ded.JPGIMG_5683.thumb.JPG.34599fe7ed527710ecee0bb51ef728f4.JPGIMG_5684.thumb.JPG.e4d26f45797ea5c6e0697f7e8abc1c24.JPGIMG_5685.thumb.JPG.6dbef48be54b029a2261cd9f5478fc2a.JPGIMG_5686.thumb.JPG.2ddbf649de09c36910429c4b8e81fff9.JPGIMG_5687.thumb.JPG.fdfed713c6ee91ac0c3827659619075c.JPGIMG_5695.thumb.JPG.fe4dfebbe610e10626e7c4af7026c7ac.JPGIMG_5696.thumb.JPG.944c9c57802b3d7759238121026ba191.JPGIMG_5697.thumb.JPG.84cf7012f58fbf375143ac2c0db1fc7b.JPGIMG_5698.thumb.JPG.77a28a551dddc7d1be3747401d30854c.JPGIMG_5699.thumb.JPG.24849465048ec26795dce4fd10f04cee.JPG

OC.

  • 2 weeks later...

first day of retirement, and i have brought the hull back into the mancave

 

although not the way the instructions show, i have devised a system which allows the superstructure to be removed, using screws that are pretty well hidden. then is for any reason, the hull goes to someone else they can sort it out, my reasoning for it is that i wanted a tight seal not just a unit that lifted off, leaving gaps in places

 

i can now start work on the foredeck

 

thinking ahead i want rusty looking hull, im not quite sure how i am going to go about it, its not exactly a small unit

Welcome to the league of the ancient unemployed.. :P  There's usually a lot less stress now.  

 

If you have an airbrush, they do make "rust" colored paint. Though it probably could be brushed on in places.

very nice progress Kevin,  since I last looked in.  the structure is coming out great......railings,  funnel and all look really good :)    the gallows fore of the winch.....shouldn't the pulleys at the deck be to the rear,  towards the winch?  they would be more functional that way and might be problematic in rigging them.

That might work.   RGL used something called "powders" for things like rust, etc.

Good evening everyone

 

now that i have a system that works in getting a decent fit of the superstructure to the hull, i can continue and build the boat deck up, a lot less chance of damaging anything now 

 

the davits were made up a while ago, i just a white primer, as i wanted the flat white finish, today, they had a Flory grime wash over them and fitted to the deck, bollards, and handles, with the ropes and ropes are still to be sorted, but im happy with what has been done today,

Good evening everyone

 

today i turned my attention to the life boats 

 

i was thinking how to make realistic covers for them and came across this youtube video

 

https://www.google.com/search?q=modelling+creating+tarpaulin&rlz=1C1PQHB_enGB727GB742&oq=m&aqs=chrome.1.69i60j69i59l3j69i60l3j69i65.5792j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_waJFXqazI_mP1fAPmbOz8Ao19

 

so this is my take on that so far

IMG_5753.thumb.JPG.7ac1e754b2957f716a0342c2eb6164ee.JPG

i had to thin the keel a bit to fit in the davit rests

IMG_5754.thumb.JPG.6c8847dc9e8b33e7b3a8399d61537c22.JPG

a piece of wire to stop any sagging, then covered in cling film to protect the boat, and held in place with elastic bands

IMG_5756.thumb.JPG.c7e1ef3763aec0f9514a40acf77647fb.JPG

instead of tissue paper i used some sail material from and old kit again held in place

IMG_5757.thumb.JPG.7812b929a6d9b8df3da8c12f2756301d.JPG

painted with a pva/water solution with a few creases deliberately in place

when dry

IMG_5759.thumb.JPG.0dc49f9905d1c935081216149a86ff48.JPG

i have used lifecolour grey paint for this (left over from the Bismarck build)

Good morning everyone

 

Thank you for the likes and comments

 

 

after letting the paint dry overnight, i then masked around the boat to get a cutting line

 

after trimming the cover fell away from the hull and allowed me to remove the bands and cling film

 

i have cut a few tabs from the off cuts to make a few securing positions

 

next will be to paint it again to cover the cut line and put a different colour on the tabs, then do it all over again on the other boat

I might try some wire twisted around a small drill bit, or not even try doing anything

How will the tabs work  - tie upwards or down, could you not attach hoops to the bottom of the tabs?

The tabs tie the cover to the boat so are pulled down, the rope then passes under and back up the other side i was hoping to pass through the tabs rather than rings hanging from them, lol wip

I would just tie them off then  -  If the tabs can be caught behind? run a needle through and do a knot to secure them. then  follow to the other  side.

Good evening everyone from a very damp Somerset

 

take two on the life boats,

 

i wasnt happy with the grab ropes, so i redid them, where i had originally threaded the ropes through the hull i filled them with eyelets,

 

wasnt happy with this

IMG_5783.thumb.JPG.7809e5377f99cb6301e5efc59eaaf492.JPG

i drilled out the holes to remove the black thread, which had been secured with C/A

IMG_5791.thumb.JPG.4e20655a9ab75deda94752a848f20d2b.JPG

used 1mm thread with a grime wash

IMG_5792.thumb.JPG.58fc7d31348463433e71fc5d66dde5a1.JPG

MK1 and MK2

IMG_5793.thumb.JPG.aee944c83c2a810e83f0adc7668e215d.JPGIMG_5794.thumb.JPG.eb4d61c50d7579ae5fb360fda99b629a.JPGIMG_5795.thumb.JPG.d07880a9f3f79e6be09cd1d82ac52439.JPG

need to tone down the weathering a bit, or use a different wash, i am still playing around with the covers
