Fischkutter by Bryan Woods - Laser Creation World - 1:35

[Bryan Woods]

This I believe is a mid 1900 German fishing boat. Skills of their trade were passed down through generations. This kit is a part of a diorama that I don’t intend to build. Hopefully I can furnish it with proper equipment. I would like to try the weathered look.

 

 

 

The frames and spine are plywood. The planking seems to be .5 mm basswood, the was laser cut. It has 3d printed tires, drums, fuel containers and small crates. The captains wheel, rudder and light are also printed.

Good luck on your adventure with this build,     tagging along 😀

I have seen some of their videos on YouTube.  I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

Yep, this would have been a coastal vessel used for shrimp, herring, cod, etc. in Bavaria. Nice subject!

They have quite a few. You have to look around for them on their channel, they are mostly part of dioramas.

 I have little knowledge of any boats. I love to build them but not great at research. I would like to find some type of rigging used. I’ve found some pictures but I can only make out the mast. I would think some had winches on them.

Maybe 'this' stuff will be helpful...

Wow! Thanks tmj that’s exactly what I was looking for:-)

[Bryan Woods]

The planking has begun. On my last build I glued the false keel on before I faired the hull. Resulting with sanded down areas of the keel. Which may it harder to fit a pedestal on it. This time I left it off. I built up the bow to give a little more gluing surface.

 

 

 

 

With just these four planks on it may look like I know what I’m doing. But now the guess work begins. I’m going to try to do a little math but that doesn’t mean I’ll listen to it.

Nice start!

 

How big is the model? It looks like it's around 10 inches long? The large number of closely-spaced bulkheads is nice, too often you see so few widely-spaced ones that planking can be a challenge.

[Bryan Woods]

Thanks Jacques, It’s 8 1/2” long. And yeah the close bulkheads are nice. The planks are going on easy but because they are so thin there will be little room for error. I can already see through them before sandpaper even hits them.
