Schrader Posted May 12, 2020 Author #35 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Anchor grapnel....... This piece has some difficulty since we have to weld 8 pieces in a little space. Producing heat that will pump out those pieces that are already welded. So I decided to make a “mold” where all pieces can be “secured” ....... Two pieces of wood with 5 holes.... 1 for the central piece an 4 for the hooks. One 2 mm wire heated in one of its ends...... Smashed..... Its hole.... A little tube in the other end and hooks in 1 mm wire.... All pieces in the “mold”. Secured an welded...... So far... so good... Tips.....

Louie da fly Posted May 12, 2020 #36 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Magnificent work, Hellmuht. Very impressive - the glass buoys, the net and the grapnel all amazingly well done.

Yes I would say that the armed longboat and the St Caterina are the “right” way to start. The armed longboat has a lot of videos, tutorials in YouTube. Most in Spanish but graphically well explained regards Hello Hellmuht, Thanks for your reply. I just looked at my Messages Inbox and I didn't receive a message from you. I'm not sure why it isn't there. I just read your entire build log again and you are a very skilled craftsman! The details you are adding to this boat are wonderful. I love the grapnel, buckets, and nets. The glass ball float is fantastic! I spent a 1 1/2 years aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Storis in 1966-67. We patrolled the Being Sea and the Gulf of Alaska and we would often find these glass balls washed ashore on remote beaches. The replica you made is wonderful. I have a very long way to go before I have the skills to undertake a scratch build like this. The beautiful job you are doing on this boat is inspirational for me though. mtaylor 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Schrader Posted May 14, 2020 Author #44 Posted May 14, 2020 Base..... I decided at this time, it will be my first diorama. So I went to the internet and the monograph and I saw a couple a good ideas. I went to prepare de basa as a beach with sand, taking care of the leveling, not uniform surfaces and so.... I put some logs...aged. They are going to “receive“ the boat.... Let’s see how is looking so far..... I t need to be completed with some “fences” and fixing some spots without sand... wefalck, mtaylor and BobG 3 Quote

wefalck Posted May 14, 2020 #47 Posted May 14, 2020 Very evocative 👍 I am just wandering, why you made the bowsprit sticking out beyond the base-board, where it is prone to damage, while there is a lot of empty space on the other side of the board ... mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux

I'm enjoying following your build very much. Your build inspired me to buy a copy of the Ancre monograph for the St Caterina. I think it will be very interesting to see all the steps you have taken to build your model even though I'm not skilled enough to undertake such a project yet. I'm also interested in dioramas and I recently ordered a book on making them: Waterline Dioramas by Justin Camarata. I ordered the book from Sea Watch Books: https://www.seawatchbooks.com/ItemDisplay.php?sku=107002 Continued good luck with your build. mtaylor 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

wefalck Posted May 15, 2020 #50 Posted May 15, 2020 The baseboard seems to be long enough for the whole boat, but you placed it onto the baseboard so that the bowsprits sticks out beyond it. This seems to be a bit risky arrangement, the bowsprit can easily be damaged. P.S. Is your mother-tongue German ? Your Name seems to indicate that ... mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
