Piet Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share #153 Posted February 1, 2015 Thank you, thank you, thank you - - - he says with a deep bow and a big smile Very much appreciated! Well, we have arrived at the end of this build. There is actually one more detail left to do, Amateur Jan's lobster But he'll have to wait till I catch a few I haven't made the final pictures yet for the Gallery, I'll do that tomorrow and post a few here. I finally decided on a name for this special build. It came to me Thursday night as was in bed waiting for the sandman to come. I didn't want a "sissy" name or something mundane and how can I tie the name in with the purpose of this endeavor, Wounded Warrior? There it was, Warrior! Not Wounded anything, just Warrior. I cheated - - - I typed it up in green and 14 point and printed it out. So, Friday morning I cut the name tags out and glued them to the hull using Liquitex medium. Just for fun, I made a coke bottle and two glasses to toast the successful completion of the build In the second picture I put that bottle and glasses on the sliding hatch. Any one for more will have to go into the cabin and raid the wet bar. Sjors on the dock with the popcorn machine Then I thought, hey, we need an anchor. I Googled anchors and found a nice simple one that was used on landing craft during WW II. So, I cut some metal and made an anchor. The blades are 0.1 mm brass shim, the post is 1 mm square brass stock that I soldered to a small piece of 1 mm brass tubing. Put a piece of 0.5 mm brass rod through is and then soldered the blades to the rod, one on each side of the tube. The blades can actually rotate to grab the sea floor. Then a brass eyelet on the end of the post for the anchor rope. Who would have thunk it, an honest to goodness workable anchor I hope I can post the final pics to the Gallery, have to read up on it. Alright folks, here are a few pics of the last details. This bottle was used for the "christening" of the boat. We are ready for a toast, cheers to all. This shows the completed anchor on my work bench. This shows the anchor ready to be dropped and lashed to the samson post.

GLakie Posted February 1, 2015 Share #155 Posted February 1, 2015 Piet you couldn't have come up with a better name than Warrior. I think it's a very fitting name. Nice touch on the details. The bow decoration, anchors, and lettering really set her off. I like the bottle with the cocktail glasses. Must be noon somewhere huh? We can wait for the lobster on the half-shell. Cheers and congrats on a fantastic job! mtaylor and Piet 2 Quote GEORGE Don't be bound by the limits of what you already know, be unlimited by what you are willing to learn.

Omega1234 Posted February 1, 2015 Share #156 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Hi Piet.I love absolutely everything about Warrior, the MBLS! You couldn't have done better than pick the name, either. A very fitting tribute to the cause.As for the detail...absolutely fantastic. The coke bottle and glasses add a really nice touch. Inside and out, Warrior's detail, charm and character are amazing.I bet secretly you really want to keep her; but the cause is greater and it'll go to a very deserving owner.Well done and congratulations.CheersPatrick Edited February 1, 2015 by Omega1234 GLakie and Piet 2 Quote MY SCRATCH BUILT MODELS ARE: Splendid Mega Yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28576-splendid-by-omega1234-scale-1500-mega-yacht/ Majestic Mega Yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/28483-mega-yacht-majestic-by-omega1234-miniature/ Sapphire Mega yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/21088-sapphire-by-omega1234-1388-scale-mega-yacht-66m-8-inch-hull-length/?tab=comments#comment-639898 Genesis - Supersports Mega Yacht https://modelshipworld.com/topic/18168-genesis-by-omega1234-1300-49m-mega-yacht-8-inches-long-finished/?tab=comments#comment-559026http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/14141-shadow-by-omega1234-scale-1300-luxury-60m-mega-yacht-8-inches-long/ SHADOW Luxury Motor Yacht http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/11384-majellan-by-omega1234-luxury-37-metre-motor-yacht-miniature-7-inches-approx/ Majellan Luxury Motor Yacht http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9261Rainbow-j-class-racing-yacht/?p=273543 Rainbow J Class Racing Yacht Mystic Classic Motor Cruiser Symphony Ingomar Schooner: Scratch build Dorade Schooner: <p> Lennox Restoration Warship http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9577-pandora-cutaway-dockyard-style-miniature/?hl=pandora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piet Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share #160 Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks to everyone for following this build, your input and kind words. I really enjoyed i,t especially with all of you visiting. This will be my last post for this build and will try to put her in the Gallery. I still have a few months so I may continue fiddling with it some more, a little touchup here and there. Here are a few pics i took this morning for the Gallery, I like to close this log with a few pics. Come and visit me with the 019 and the VOC ship in the scratch build part. And who knows - - - I may even start the Dutch botter or kotter in a lamp. Cheers to all, GLakie, GrandpaPhil, GuntherMT and 18 others 21 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Piet Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share #174 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Yeah Carl, I have to stop thinking of what else I can add. This is the final thing - - - I hope Now I have to find out how to move the hot link to the completed part in my signature Well, I thought adding a pennon or pennant to the top of the mast. This is an old Dutch tradition, especially on royal birthdays or other national festivals. But then the pennants are orange in honor of the Royal House of Orange. Some are in the National tricolor. However, this being a true Yankee boat painted with green trim, I thought making a green pennant to match. I could also have made in yellow for our troops but hey, green is a mix of blue and yellow! Okay, here are two pics to show all yuns how the pennon looks. Cheers, Edited February 9, 2015 by Piet Adrieke, GLakie, popeye the sailor and 7 others 10 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.
