Heinrich Kayser 1898 by Nils Langemann - FINISHED - scale 1:96 - as she appeared in 1922


Recommended Posts

Hi Creackers,

this I have also asked myself many times, but it is also fact that from radiocalls received, the stearing rudderchain had broken in a full gale, making the vessel unmanouverable and probably immediately going square to the huge waves the hull rolling heavily, and fact is that the hatchcovers had been destroyed, this causing the uncontrolled take of water, until the ships superstructures could not withstand the stresses anymore. She may have sunk or suddely have broken through. We shall never really know what hapened in the last minutes

Nils, I assume you made the rivet wheel (picture 2), can you tell us more about it? OOPS I found it!, Thanks

I also like the aluminum tape use for the riveted metal plates, Great start!

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of making this log and sharing your incredible skills, this wonderful model, but most importantly bringing to life the history of the very real people and the ship itself!

 

For all of these reasons I can't wait to see the rest :)

Thank you Bindy for you nice words

It all was due to the nowdays possibilities via web for doing all this Research, for instance in gathering all available to myself historic US newspaper clippings, state archives, etc...

Hi Guy,

the toothwheel Comes from an old mantelclock-clockwork, obtained from a fleamarket, and so providing many individual brass toothwheels with different toothsizes.

thin wheels for single row riveting broader ones for Multi row riveting, etc...

From twinrow on upwards the toothbreadth would Need to be reduced by binging circular groves in like the Picture Shows. Provided you own a Hobby lathe and appropriate cutting chissels, no Problem..., if not, span the wheel on a Center fixed screw

span into your Drilling machine and tangentially (sturdy Hand!!) bring cutting side tooth-direction of your metalblade small handsaw into Operation, with running Drilling machine. Some Trials should be done with scrap- wheels before, to get the Feeling. The saw toothdirection must be in the "pushing mode" as if it were a chissel. Remove grit care fully and brush over with brass-brush, to slight break the sharp edges carefully.

Hope this is of help...

 

Cheers

An absolute brilliant model! So much attention to detail! Love the rivet tool you made out of old clock cogs. Maby I can give that a go myself! Looking forward to part 9 ! Good work.

Incredible craftmanship. I am impressed with all the details. When you finish your ship model, will you donate it to a nautical museum ? Your model is of museum quality.

 

Montani semper liberi    Happy modeling

    Crackers   :):D

Crackers,

that idea is not completely out of this world, because I`m running out of space in my Hobby Office right now, I am 66 years old and I hope that they might find an honorable anchoring place in my childrens homes one day. Right now I have 2 steamships, two Tallships, and the uncompleted scratchbuilt 18th century Pegasus in Progress.

Besides that you might know or have experienced yourself, that the modelers fingers start itching when one gets mind-pregnant with the next "Project", at least the ideas Keep on sparkling...

It is since I had retired from my work that I again have time to go after this Hobby.

 

Cheers

you are right, I feel the same, and have therefore gathered quite some experience in soldering (solderable metals) with either small gastourch or with soldering iron

Hi,

trust you are reflecting to the outlet (suction mode) vents...

well, the longer vertical tube is cut to fit soldering a small short cross-tube on top, an then for the parts of the intake side and for the discharge side I cut these off the Ends of small steel-brassplated mini Christmas Jingle bells

 

In case you mean the spheric bowl typ, this is shown earlier in part 4 of my build log

Hope this serves your question

 

Nils

Bob

you shall make me very happy if you go on pleasing your mind (thought), and very welcome to the stoker gang, who really knows in our days of gas turbine and atomic operated ship powerplants, what a stephenson reverse device is

 

Cheers

The Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum in Bremerhaven, Germany, would be grateful to have your model in their collection, since the HEINRICH KAYSER was her home port at Bremerhaven.

Your model is such a wonderful example of the modeler's art, everybody should have the privilege to see your creative work. I hope you will consider my suggestion.

 

Montani semper liberi   Happy modeling

   Crackers    :):D

Crackers,

many thanks for your appreciative and encouraging words, I`ll have your Suggestion in mind for the day when (if) I Need to give it in other than family Hands. Question: do you as a Senior model builder have any personal relation to Bremerhaven? You are correct, the Shipping Company Kayser & Son was based at Bremerhaven before the ship had been transfered to their Hamburg subsiduary, but that is only known to very few People..... The fate of that shipping Company owner Family really shocked me and was very much touching, sad to say.
