rcmdrvr Posted September 11, 2014 #64 Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks for the images. I did manage to get them downloaded and with a little re-sizing I think they will be great for my Willie. I had the same idea but you have done a great job and that will save a lot of work.

mhaas2 Posted September 12, 2014 Author #66 Posted September 12, 2014 Hey! Just a little hint to anyone building this kit. Paint the winder drums and wind on the rigging BEFORE you assemble the winder. Took me the entire football game to do it last night after the entire assembly was complete. Probably would have been 10 minutes before assembling it! LOL! Live and learn. At least there is no deadline with this hobby! Quote
mhaas2 Posted September 12, 2014 Author #67 Posted September 12, 2014 Don, you are most welcome. I figured that you could use them. Quote
mhaas2 Posted September 16, 2014 Author #68 Posted September 16, 2014 Finished the wider and its deck house. Next up is the gantry!! tarbrush, dgbot, Ol' Pine Tar and 3 others 6 Quote
rcmdrvr Posted September 16, 2014 #69 Posted September 16, 2014 It was great that you made the doors on the motor housing operable. Now we can view all the detail work you did to the motor driving the winder. Someday I hope to come up to your level of work.

mhaas2 Posted September 18, 2014 Author #70 Posted September 18, 2014 A-Frame is done. I used a mixture of brass and plasti-strut, them made up the 2 blocks using the metal sheaves from the kit and some brass strip and bits I found in my parts box. Next up is the rollers. johncole, dgbot, tarbrush and 3 others 6 Quote
Azzoun Posted September 18, 2014 #71 Posted September 18, 2014 Just catching up on your build - i can't wait to see the cabin's lit up in the finished product. Josh Quote
radrick21 Posted October 1, 2014 #72 Posted October 1, 2014 Thank you for the meticulous pictures throughout your build. I'm just getting started and your log is a godsend. I'm staying in your wake! Quote Don't you worry about it. I'm working on it.
mhaas2 Posted October 1, 2014 Author #73 Posted October 1, 2014 I had run out of small brass strip. So a small delay while I waited for it. Completed the rollers! Next up are the dreaded dredges! An overview! Ol' Pine Tar, hexnut, johncole and 4 others 7 Quote
russ Posted October 1, 2014 #74 Posted October 1, 2014 The metal work looks very good. There is a lot of it on small workboats like this and you are doing very well with it. Good work.

mhaas2 Posted October 1, 2014 Author #75 Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks Russ. It has been the experience I wanted. A learning experience. Those dredges look daunting though. I need to figure a way to hold it all together to solder it. Quote
mhaas2 Posted October 1, 2014 Author #76 Posted October 1, 2014 Rick, I look forward to see how you do this. It is a challemge. Quote
juhu Posted October 1, 2014 #77 Posted October 1, 2014 This is a gem. I love to see that modeller's "surgery" when the cabin , doorway etc. is open - it makes the ship more lifelike. Will follow the thread closely. mhaas2 1 Quote "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." Completed: Smuggler
mhaas2 Posted October 2, 2014 Author #78 Posted October 2, 2014 OK, made the main pieces for the first dredge. Have to make a few more straight pieces with eyes on the end and then try to get it to all stick together. Wish me luck! GuntherMT, russ, tarbrush and 1 other 4 Quote
mhaas2 Posted October 3, 2014 Author #79 Posted October 3, 2014 All of the dredge parts are made! Time to make many, one, or in this case, two. Ol' Pine Tar, johncole, tasmanian and 4 others 7 Quote
mhaas2 Posted October 4, 2014 Author #80 Posted October 4, 2014 One down. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. Lots of pins, alligator clamps as heat sinks and wet paper towels to keep other joints from coming apart as I soldered the newest ones. radrick21, Jack12477, johncole and 6 others 9 Quote

schooner Posted October 4, 2014 #83 Posted October 4, 2014 Wow. I've been putting off making these for my Willie B because my soldering skills are a little shaky but if you could keep the old solders from melting when making the new ones using alligator clips and damp towels maybe I can too. Great job on the dredges!
