Antje (KW49) 1959 by kees de mol - FINISHED - scale 1/75 - Dutch side trawler


Recommended Posts

All the woodwork on the wheelhouse is done now and i guess it will look great after some varnish. I also made a mast. It took a lot of time to find out all the dimensions and how all the rigging was. This week I got some new photo's wich are very helpfull to me.

The reardeck and wheelhouse are finished now so I post some overall pictures for yoy to see how it's looking now. At this moment I started working on the winchhouse, the mast and the fishingbeams. These are later additions on the ship but they where allready there when my grandfather started to sail with here so I have to build them. It wont be easy because there are no drawings of this later additions and I have not much pictures of it. But with the help of some old fishermen I will make this to a succes.

 

Regards, Kees

The last few days I have build the -Portaalmast- (don't know the english word for it) and the fishingbeams. These things were added ten years after the ships birth.

quite a bit of detail in there Kees........the assembly looks just super!  it's amazing what your gleaning from mere pictures ;)  very awesome job indeed!  :)

 

I was looking at your railings again.........made me think of my last visit to the craft store.  I saw some 'parts'.......resembled the stanchions you made.  I really like the way you put on the cap rail.  definitely food for thought ;)

Today I finished the frontmast. I lost my camera so almost no pictures of the building but the final pictures show enough I think. It was a lot of work to find out how the rigging and lights in the mast had to be because I had no good pictures of this and it seemed different on any other ship from wich I had photo's. But I think it's done right now.

excellent Build Kees,

 

I see, you have amoungst other skills developed yourself to a master of modeling in styrene. I have seen this material once in the shop of a professional modelbuilder for shipyard models

Very good work

Hello fellow shipbuilders,

 

Thank you for all the comments and for the likes! Man, I like the like-button! Miss it so much on the Dutch forums. Sometimes you dont't know what to say but with the like-button you can always let te author know you appriciate his work and his postings.

Today I worked on the trawl gallows. These gallows are placed on starboardside of the deck and they hold a pulley/block trough wich the fishingline runs into the sea. You can imagine how enormous force is exercised on these gallows so they were made from heavy steel and were anchored directly on the ships construction.

 

On this photo you can see the rear gallow with the heavy pulley/block. On the front of the ship there is also a gallow. The nets had two fishingline so the nets stayed open and with the pulleys/blocks the nets were hauled in.

IMG_0019_zps47e3938e.jpg

 

And here some photo's of the building. Each trawl gallows containes more than 50 parts plus all the parts that fell on the floor and became unfindable. :(

See you with the next update

Fantastic work Kees.  If, or when, I'm goin to build the Musi I may just venture into styrene.  It resembles steel so much better then wood or paper.  I just need to get familiar with this "strange" material, it's so much different from aircraft aluminum ;)  

 

Love the pic of the Guilder too, I still have a few as well as a "daalder" and a few other old cons.

Today(saturday) I went for a trip to Amsterdam. Wow I've seen so much, maybe a little to much :o I felt like being in another part of the world. So much people, so much cultures and nationalitys.
But yesterday I had a full shift of building at the attic and I finished the (10 years later added) port side trawl gallow. It looks different than the starboard gallows. And I made a sort of pole with a roll on it. Don't know what its for and how it's called.
And the anchor winch wich wasn't really a winch. It has no motor or gearing on it. Just a roll on wich they attached the fishing line. Then the anchor went overboard and it rolled the fishingline on the roll. When they had to lift the anchor they just hauled the fishingline in and the anchor.... well.. I hope you understand my Louis van Gaal english  ^_^  (are there any english people here? They will understand the joke)  The winch consists of more than 60 parts and it was very good therapy for me to build it.

Regards, Kees

Yes and no.

I make the most of the parts out of styren plate 1.0, 0.5 and 0.25 mm. And i use o lot of styrene profiles from different brands. The most commonly known brand is Evergreen and you have Plastruct but it's not very good availlable here in Holland.

 

Building a model of a modern ship is IMHO pretty mutch like building a full scale ship. In full scale they make use of plate-material and a lot of different profiles like tubes, H-beams, angled steel etc etc. In modelbuilding you do the same only with smaller materials and to meet the right scale you have to make a lot of profiles yourself out of plate-material.

Hello fellow shipbuilders. First I like to tell you I started a blog. Not to replace my activity on this marvelous forum but just to bundle all my building-photo's etc on one place. the blog can be found on http://www.modelfishingships.blogspot.com Please bookmark and share!

 

Now on with the build.

 

I needed new primer and so I went to my local diy-shop where they sell my favourite brand but when I got there... not my primer on the shelf! Bummer... but there was another brand wich promissed to be a very good primer for plastics. When I tested it on a piece of plastic it was ok but when I primed my model this was what came out of it.

P1030061.JPG

I was so mad!!!! The wheelhouse was a total mess and ready for the garbagecan. All those hours of work....

After crying a bit I managed to remove the ****** paint and now she is nice and shiny in a new coat of primer again. Tomorrow I am going to destroy the faulty can of primer. Dont know how yet but I will find a way.
