Ingots are very nice to work with. All the same size and all weight about 2.025kgs each....
The little Krick motor is small ... I used the same motor/prop combo for the N. Loredana. They work well for the Loredana. So I tought I give it a try. Its a very powerful motor that is used for heavy truck models.....

Today I made the trays where I can put the ignots to stay at their place.





The big tray will also be the base for the big batteries. They will be mounted on the piece of plywood and I will make it so that I can change the position of the batteries easely.

I finished the ballast boxes and screwed them in place in the hull....
I also received my 2pcs of 12V15Ah batteries. So I will place them on a piece of plywood (boxlike) on top of the big ballastbox.

Afraid I have to comment on the motor choice also.  The build is very superb indeed, but every sight of the small-although geared motor so far leaves me wondering.  I can not see it working at all moving this size of hull, least not without some fantastic current draw.  This is such a great build but I think the motor is very much under-sized.  It looks like a 2hp engine fitted in the real boat which I don't think would go far.  I will take my hat-off if it works, but it looks fantastically under powered and over-propped so far.  It would be such a shame to have to change motors later.  I may be wrong and happy to be proved otherwise.  Rich

I tend to agree with Rich, as I also feel the motor is way too small to do the job on this large hull.

I know the motor might by a problem .... but its one of the most powerful combinations my hobbyshop had. And it worked well for the N. Loredana which is half the weight but has the same 80mm prop.I am happy to get informations about better suited motors with a 1:6 reduction. I will not use direct power in any way ....

We used to always use the formula of the motor being around the same diameter as the prop for direct drive.
The attached image is of the drive in my tug, Iron Cove, which is 1.5m long. The motor is a Ford heater fan motor driving a 150mm 4 blade prop with a reduction of around 3:1.
Runs all day on a large car battery, with plenty left over.

OK....lets see if my model will run with the small motor or if I have to upgrade to a bigger one .... I like my combo because I can use all the power from 0-100%! Normally 100% means your model is going like a raceboat. No with my combo the prop turns just over 2500rpms. Thats enough to get the model going.
Some quick work and grey color to get the hull waterproof. Lighter color is an effect of my lamp I have downstairs.



There is a nice wooden look (it a wooden hull so it can look wooden). Not the usual shiny a plastic one most models have.



Just before I finished my work .... the hull slipped from my low working table and bumm on the concrete floor .... no damage done. Just some color was missing. I repaired it in 2-3mins.

After finishing with the primer I decided to mark the waterline .... not much freeboard left but I will make the deck some 10-15mm hinger than planned.
Now I can put er into the bathtub the second time and I hope I have enough ballast to keep her level in the water.



This pen did not work well .....



I redid everything with a waterproof Edding ....

When you ballast down for the water line, sprinkle a little talcum powder on the water, it will stick to the hull and give you an accurate waterline

You could also consider Float-a-Coat  :o ... as the name suggests, it is a non water soluble oil based paint....[usually black]....

Just fill the bath 2/3 full with standard cold tap water .......place the vessel in the bath & ballast her to the intended waterline......without too much splashing.........add a few gallons of Float-a-Coat

Gently & squarely lift the vessel from the water & the black Float-a-Coat will leave a perfectly level waterline & also represent the black antifouling over the entire under surface of the hull :-X

Perfect job well done....not sure who will clean the bath though  {-)

Derek

PS.....Float-a-Coat is now also available in a TBTO  [Tributyltinoxide] formulation which is has excellent cacogenic properties to minimise weed & mollusc growth  on underwater hull surfaces O0

Very good idea! I'll try thta if I build a model where the waterline is not clear like this time ....

As for cleaning your tub, I highly recommend this detergent. There's practically nothing it won't remove. Tested and trusted.

 :-)) :-))
The bathtub is too small!!!


40kg Ballast ... 32kg Lead ignots and 8kg Batteries

1cm left in the back....



4cm in the front .... Waterline is OK as it is ... I will correct it.



Left 18kg lead, 20kg lead & batteriesin the middle and 2kg leadto the right.





Looks nice ....



Looks even nicer!


Wheelhouse will go some 5-10cm to the front .... PERFECT.



I packes all the lead ignots into foil. So I can handle it without any risk.

Increase the water level by 100 mm [just lapping the top edges of the bath :o] & she will free float on her lines  :-))

Its either that or get a bigger pond  :-X

I did some changes on my working base to get the waterline level....



Now I have to go back down into my working space ....
Next I will build the bildge keel. The long smaller ones are normal. The higher and shorter ones are to keep the boat upright when the tide is low ... the ship will sit on them like a base of a model. I took the pics at a famous werft in Douarnenez in Brittany when I visited it during my holidays.

Still no idea how these ailerons on the hull are called....I designed everything directly on the hull. I may put them some 10-20mm more up to the side of the hull.



.... and in no time they are done. In cardboard .... can use them as template!



As shown before the short ones are need to keep the boat upright. And it saves me to bring a stand with me.



Everything will be built to the highest standard ... I mean they have to be very well made or they will brake the first day on the lake ....

They are Bilge keels I think. Would they also act as supports for dry docking in most situations?

Danielle......the images of the steel Bilge Keel arrangements on the full sized vessel [26th September] clearly show the hull is supported on the main keel longitudinal plate


If yo intend to support your hull on the pair of lower bilge keel edges, you would necessarily require each keel attachment edge to support the total weight of your model as a consequence of the model lowering onto one keel attachment only

Ok my friends ... I wont make the built-in boatstand .... too risky.
I made the first bilge keel ... I used 0.49mm tinplate ... I just love this material!!!Doubled everything up to make it sturdy.

In the pic you can see from top to bottom.Cardboard template.Cutout tinplate sectionCutout tinplate section with tape on it to mark the outline.



I used this tools today .... not in the pcture my Proxxon bandsaw.



The result of todays work.





I will soldier a lot of brackets to the bildge keel. I want to screw it to the hull.Tinplate is a very nice material to work with. I can understand why they made all kind of toys out of it.
