victory78 Posted July 3, 2020 #1 Posted July 3, 2020 I've been stranded here many times, always looking for news from model making. From today I am finally part of the Model Ship World forum. Until my English is a little better, the Google translator should help me here. So excuse my writing style. The model building has been my companion for many years with interruptions. A new start in 2005 in historic sailing ship model construction came to an end with the construction stop of HMS Victory by Sergal. Not satisfied with the kit model, I have been building a simple fishing boat for 6 years to improve my material and tool skills. I look forward to a good time with all of you in the exchange of knowledge and practice. I already know some names here and I really like what I saw as a guest. see you soon Matthias GrandpaPhil, Ryland Craze, JeffT and 5 others 8 See you soon Matthias Under construction: Scratch-Modell Pilot Boat LS PHANTOM 1868 - Scale 1:50 Scratch-Modell Zeesboot 1920 - Scale 1:20

Chuck Seiler Posted July 3, 2020 #5 Posted July 3, 2020 Matthias, Welcome to MSW. I applaud your decision to stay with the hobby and go with a simpler model. Many are attracted to the hobby by the big fancy ships, only to be easily discouraged. I had a similar start as you. I wanted to build HMS VICTORY and USS CONSTITUTION but I eventually went smaller/simpler and worked on my skills. Now I am building ship types I have never heard of before and having much fun.

Louie da fly Posted July 4, 2020 #12 Posted July 4, 2020 Welcome to MSW, Matthias! I'm not sure - is your fishing boat a model or full sized? Whichever it is, it would be good to see photos! victory78 and mtaylor 2 It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

victory78 Posted July 4, 2020 Author #13 Posted July 4, 2020 Hello everyone and thank you for the welcome greetings. The fishing boat is a “Zeesboat” from the region of the European Baltic Sea. I also found a Zeesboot from @Mirabell61 here in msw - a nice model. I build in 1:20 scale. The fuselage and stems are made of pear wood and the metal parts are made of brass. Starting as a test model, it has developed quite well. But there are also some mistakes I have a construction report on the boat in other forums. Inserting this here takes a lot of time. It also needs to be translated. If there is a lot of interest I can show it a little bit shortened. I show some impressions from the boat here. That is the current status.

victory78 Posted July 10, 2020 Author #23 Posted July 10, 2020 Hello Steven, @Louie da fly Limewood is not very hard. It is ideal for practicing. The burl is still ok up to a scale of 1:50.
