If not, maybe add some completed images to our Gallery. I built the model differently than my usual procedure. At first I was very hesitant about the different types, colours and finishes to use on the boat. I was going for a "weathered" look as opposed to "nice & shiny". Then, the Covid-19 thing brought shopping for materials to a halte. So, I stated to build all the components separately, do the paint and then final assembly. Here are some of the steps.

Ras Ambrioso Posted February 2, 2021 #6 Posted February 2, 2021 Big dan I noticed you have a half cran basket hanging on the derrick. Great , great detail. I just learned what a "half cran" is: its a weaved basket carrying roughly 27 gals of fish. How did you make them? Also noticed the location of the "mulgogger" (rollers) to bring the "warp" of the net. Seems to me that they may be movable. Forward when paying off the net and Midship when shooting the nets. Good detail also.

BigDan Posted February 2, 2021 Author #7 Posted February 2, 2021 I made a "frame out of .5 mm wire and weaved the basket much like you would weave the real thing with .5 mm beige twine. Quote

Ras Ambrioso Posted February 27, 2021 #17 Posted February 27, 2021 Your last details are great. I thought about a similar treatment in my Fifie. An open pipe make get rain into the stove and the engine. I also thought that at least the lower four feet of the stacks should be insulated. Those pipes get hot and that will be a very busy deck when fishing. Also the condensate discharge from the winch, that is running on the deck, should also be insulated and perhaps provided with a step to prevent the crew from tripping on it. Sorry, that is the old engineer on me, also looking for the peoples safety and OSHA rules. Anyway, your work is fantastic.
