Mirabell61 Posted November 23, 2019 Author #303 Posted November 23, 2019 Many thanks to Steve, Johann, Denis and Piet, also thanks to all the "likes" for looking in It must have been two weeks or more since I posted last, and your kind comments encourage me to carry on, the steam was a bit out of the kettle, and I do`nt realy know why.... Instead I spent some hours with my Trainz 2009 train simulator, a program I have on my PC. There is a favourate download add-on I have saved there, it is a historic logging line, down in breathtaking Murchison county, New Zealand. This is covering standard gauge- and narrow gauge tracks in mountains, over many scary wooden threstles over rough canyons with animated waterfalls, and along flowing rivers to get to the logging camps, with interactive log-loading and dumping functions. Best of all are (amoungst many other vehicles in the train park), the old geared puffing locomotives, like Shay, Climax, Heisler, etc. Steve, a very nice comment of yours, much appreciated. Yes, much is with hand tools, and because I neigther own a lathe nor a milling machine, I always have to evaluate how the job can be done altrnatively. With pleasure I`ll provide a little overview of my favorate tools in use....... (ref. to the enclosed pics) Johann, thank you very much for nice comment, much appreciated, am pleased you like the details... Denis, thanks for your nice comments, am pleased you like the details. I`m stuck a bit with the deck in the moment, but will groove myself in and carry on.... Piet, thats a very nice comment, and I`m pleased you like the workboat... Nils Pictures: I have a small room in our cellar which I use for rough-work cutting, sawing, grinding, glass casing assembly, and wood storage. The assembly work, designing, soldering, and finer fitting sub assemblies is done in my other, more office-like hobby room, where I also display the finalized models in glass casings this is very old kitchen furniture that could be saved from dumping many years ago, here are my favourate tools this table saw is my latest achievement, a birthday present of my son in Oct. this year this multy use sander is very much in use, and I ca´nt miss it anymore... for sharpening chissels and drills the small IXO Bosch Drill is very much in use, i`ts usualy for taking up hexogonal headed bits, and here also a bit for spanning small drills 0,5 - 6 mm for all purposes... further a a sander belt ( cost much less than a Proxon or so), but is a pofessional tool further two grinder / sanding tools for appropriate range of bits And of course the good old hand jig-saw odd plankes and dowels, bits of wood, ply bits and remaining plate rests, etc. are saved for future purposes.... also all sorts of brass profiles and tubes are saved drawings, design evaluations etc. are saved in card tubes GrandpaPhil, Martin W, FriedClams and 9 others 12 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50

Mirabell61 Posted February 7, 2021 Author #315 Posted February 7, 2021 Hi Michael, thank you for looking in and for taking your time in exploring the Zeesboot model so far..... Yes, I love to realize some details ( I have on my mind), considering how to get them done, surely its more easy with a scratch build being free of a must, in sticking to plans. As I already mentioned to Eric in the mails before, the build is going to get on again, but momentarily cooking on a very small flame. Also many thanks for your good health wishes. Marianne and I (both over 70) are healthy and looking forward to be vacinated some time this year, problem is the lack in vacination dosises here, and they are not through with the over 80-ties first group of prority Wishing you and your family all the best.

Ras Ambrioso Posted February 21, 2021 #322 Posted February 21, 2021 Today I was just "surfing"the forum and found your Zeesboot. I have gone over you entire build and found it fascinating. Your attention to detail is magnificent. I have just started to build a Fifie ( Scottish fishing boat). I noticed in one of your notes that you had purchased brass etched fish. I tried to get to the sites labeled in the sheets but with no success. Could you tell me where you got those fish. My build is in 1/32 scale and I would like to show an open hold with nets and some fish scattered around. Your help will be appreciated as there are several of us building similar boat. In the meantime I will continue following you build as I am interested in watching your rigging popeye the sailor, Keith Black, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Ras Current builds: Stern Paddle Wheeler ZULU-1916-1/48 scale Previous builds: Freccia Celeste-1927 350cc racing motorcycle-1:9 scale-Protar kit Boeing B17F- 1/72 scale- Hasegawa kit HMS Mimi-scale 1/24-Fast Motor Launch Amapá 1907-1/64 scale-Brazilian Customs Cruiser Scottish Motor Fifie. 1/32 scale.

Ras Ambrioso Posted February 23, 2021 #324 Posted February 23, 2021 Nils, appreciate your quick reply to my inquiry about the fish. I checked the site and it is fabulous. However, the shipping to the US was 39 euros for a 19 euro order. In addition, for payment, they only accept bank transfers and I was kind of leery about doing that. I prefer to use something like Pay Pal. Anyway, your information also offered another shop for the etched fish but they didn't have a selection for English language. But, most of the fun of these builds is to do the research and accommodate current materials to represent scale stuff. I will continue to follow your build.

Martin W Posted February 23, 2021 #325 Posted February 23, 2021 Ahoy Nils -- Sorry to see that you've laid aside your build for a while. I think many of us have faced challenges we'd never expected before -- I've been following the difficulties in Germany with the vaccines, but I hope you & Marianne get yours soon, and that you find your way back to the Zeesboot. Cheers, Martin Mirabell61 and Keith Black 2 Quote Current Build: HMS FLY 1776 Previous Builds: Rattlesnake 1781 Prince de Neufchatel

Mirabell61 Posted August 23, 2022 Author #327 Posted August 23, 2022 Update After quite some months I took up continuation on this build. Older deck planks were removed new planks 1 mm wider are on order and the edge coaming overworked all around. I`m also sampling materials for the rigging again, as some of the blocks had been canibalized for the # 5 Elbe build. The red cotton cloth is for the sails Nils the contact surface of upper planking and deck coaming edge will be covered with a semi round beech profile front view still without deck planking Aft view box with already finished details Cotton sail cloth, some blocks and some leftovers of rope for standing rigging and perhaps bolt rope GrandpaPhil, mtaylor, yvesvidal and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50
