After watching the "deadliest job" season 1-8 over and over again I decided to build the FV Cornelia Marie. There is a german webpage with a plan of her in PDF version. It can be used for reference but has some flaws ... Scale is 1/32 which is 132cm long and 27cm wide. It will have 2 motors, working lights and sound. And with the help of pumps the storage tanks for the king crabs will be filled with water.
Starting with the templates ...

... and finally glueing the bulkheads together.

Hello!!!!
Nice job missyd
I don't know the boat or the specifications, but I have one question, won't be to heavy using that ply?
Best regards
-
got a link to website?
-
Good luck missyd :-))
Im currently in the process of making most of the fleet, i havent cut my forms for the cornelia yet, but the structural drawing is done.
Can you just confirm your dimensions, as from many sources the cornelia is 125 feet which would make it 38.1m at 1/32 scale this would make it 1190mm long her breadth is 275mm as in real life its 8.5-8.8 m
im not sure how the americans measure their boats but the cornelia isnt the same length as the northwestern its noticably shorter, i have allowed for this in my plans. I have an overhead shot of the NW CM TB and wiz you can see how they compare
good luck i will be following your progress

hello,
for the plans try : http://www.rc-schiffsmodelle.com/Modellbauplaene (http://www.rc-schiffsmodelle.com/Modellbauplaene) they are free !

Cheers Sven :-)) :-))
-
Thanks a lot! :-))
You're right I did miscalculate the length of the CM ... {:-{
Anyway I still can change the lenght without any problems.
I downloaded the plan from the link and it is not exactly to scale ... therefore the boat is too long ....
The heavy ply will make it heavy but maybe I may save some ballast by using heavier ply for the bottom part of the CM?
BTW we have made some crab pots too! ;)
Cheers Danielle

I can't wait to see this progress, keep us up to date please

We (I and my love Anita) have also built some crab pots for the CM. Planned are 48 pots sofar ... maybe even more.
We use 1.5mm2 copper wire normally used for houshold power lines. Easy to cut bend and soldiers well with a soldiering iron from Weller.
just a few pics how we made them ... we have some wooden blocks as templates. A lot is done by eye. Without any measurements.
Pot are around 70x70x30mm

nice pots Danielle :-))
i take it Anita is a fan of Freddie and his mohawk :-)
-
Yes she is! Phil will also be in the wheelhouse!
-
Following this one with a real interest O0 Your obviously a very accomplished scratch building team (?) Danielle - love the pots - they really look the business. Well done to you.
Regards, Tony.
-
Thanks a lot Tony. I do love scratchbuilding a lot. Actually I do build models but I seldom "play" with them. As soon as they are finished I loose interest in it and start another one! ok2
-
I'm Exactly the same danielle! love building them but they don't see water very often - having to consider strorage problems now %%
-
Storage is not a problem sofar ... but my next boat (an italian trawler) will be in 1/16 scale and I will have a storage and transport problem .... :-)
-
I LIKE IT! Superb so far, really like the crab pots, good work. :-))
Si:)

Sorry I moved some of the pics on photobucket and so there where deleted from my previous post ... I repost them here ....

Your crab pots are first rate, so is the build,keep it coming I like it ,Mick B.

Finished the middle and back section ... 22 finished crab ports! ;)

Next I have to draw the bow section new. Original plan is totally wrong ... will post new pics as soon as I got it finished.
-
Coming along nicely, love the crab pots...top work.
Si:)
-
I am slowing working on my model of the CM ... next big challange is the bow wich is completely wrong on the plans I have. So I came up with my own set of plans for the bow.
Looks nice!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/1ABFE3C5-5A42-46CC-ACBA-D6D662F74844-296-0000006607BB1744_zps2bd0b8ca.jpg)
And I made some cardboard templates to cut the wood ... not shure if the result will be the right shape of the bow. But I can still adapt them if neccessary.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FCBEECBA-7EA7-4D35-98C2-249C57126B9E-296-0000006619408C57_zpsf7f45005.jpg)
More crab pots have been made by ma fiancée Anita .... there are some 28 waiting to be loaded on the CM.
-
Still following with interest! are you a carpenter by any chance? %) your woodwork really is clean and crisp - well done. Anita's crab pots are excellent.
Regards, Tony
-
I have an office job ... ok2
But I do my best to have a nice model at the end.
I screwed the bow to the rest of the ship ... later after some more work to the bow I will glued+screw it together.

More work done today ... made a cardboard version of the bow bulkheads. Looks nice and just like the picture of the CM I downloaded from the net.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/E9CCDD6D-4AE6-42DF-9BB3-9E4F6864B8F5-1207-000001E8178C4B0B_zps775ecddc.jpg)

-
Bow ist taking shape!!!! Some adaptation work has to be done on the bulkwards but it looks fantastic sofar! The wooden spacers (28x28mm) are just there to keep everything square and evenly spaced....last 3 pieces glued on later last evening.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/60E032D7-1FB3-4E1C-B8DD-F033C0DA8E05-1881-00000404BB8E0484_zps216554dc.jpg)

More work done in the last days ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FF4C899B-7F09-43AB-82B9-5F77B6734B5C-2666-000005EC5E4E3BF0_zpsf96c450e.jpg)
Internal view of the bow. It came out rather nice and the openings allow access with my hand if I had to sort something out there.
Next I will cover the bow with balsa/plywood.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/8E6A848E-DEC7-4C58-803B-1E7C614316D3-2666-000005EC7B8D8845_zpsd45b8105.jpg)
In the meantime Anita finished crab pot no.31! Now she make ropes ... we need 2x2m of rope per crab pot and 3 buoys (one of each: large, medium cylindrical and a small round one).
-
Sorry for not posting anything for some time. In summertime its difficult to stay inside and build models if outside the sun is shining and the weather is more like Sicilia than Switzerland.
I used 2-3mm Balsa to cover the prow of the Cornelia Marie. I just sanded it down to see if the proportions are OK. The whole hull will be covered with 1.2mm plywood. Strong enough to witstand any storm on the Bering sea ... model-lake.

Just a few pics from the last days work I've done ...
I fitted the deck on the CM ... will glue/screw it after I cut out the openings.

Did use a lot of putty to get the holes closed. Anita is working here.

Mockup of the accumulator. I may use 3 of them (12V/9Ah each). Everything in front of the wood dovel will be the crab tank filled with water.

Well thought out and great execution. Always a treat to see your progress.
-
Hi Danielle,
your scratch model build of the CM is taking shape and is gradually becoming a spitting image of the real vessel. Congratulations! :-))
I admire your diligence jigsawing so many frames.
The sheer number almost looks as if you have taken the real building frames and stuck to the scaled down 1:1 frame spacing,
hadn't you told us that you had drawn your own plans or even didn't care for plans at all.
But these many frames must give you a pretty sturdy hull.
Maybe they will even help you to avoid any thoughts on extra ballast.
I certainly will follow your build's progress.
Ralph
-
Hi Ralph
Thanks a lot. I did use a plan (PDF) downloaded from the net but it was not as accurate as I hoped. I redraw all frames. OK 19 of them are the same size. The narrow spacing is a result of the 28mm wood I used as spacer. For another project I wouldn't use the same technique again... I also have a cardboard model of the CM. Its used for the overall proportions. Any other details I take from pictures I found on the net or on the Deadliest Catch DVDs.
Progress is very slow as I always have to find a solution for everything. Crabtanks are ready to be built, motors can be installed, hull can be planked with 1.2mm ply, the deck is ready for the cutouts ... but first I will paint the inside of the hull for waterproofing.
I wish it could be possible to produce some sort of black smoke ... blowing out of the smokestack if revs going up ... wonderful. (just dreaming)
Cheers Danielle

I harbour the same wish whenever I see those poor thin fumes emitting from the average model smoke generator.
I would rather like to see opaque, thick black plumes of smoke defying any efforts towards ecologically correct so-called Green Shipping (or more appropriately, Green Steaming). %%

Got the deck cut out and glued/screwed to the hull. Hope this makes the hull sturdy enough for roughest seas and the models weight.
First opening is for the working crab tank, second for the batteries, third is accesss to motors, speedcontrollers, pumps and the last one is for the ruders and electronics like soundmodule/RC ....

Time to test the unfinished CM in the bathtub!!! Hull safely covered in a plastic sheet and wow!!!!! It floats totally stable!!!!! Unfinished hull weight is 4.8kgs.
Picture shows hull in water with 10 + 4.8 = 14.8kgs. Nearly 5cms in the water. not enough! Waterline is aroud 10cm.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/1208846_10201733426598685_907069335_n_zps27875806.jpg)

Ok more weight ---> 10kgs (cans/bottles) added till 9.5cm are reached ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/999430_10201733427798715_1286907461_n_zps02a0d4d0.jpg)

I couldn't add more wiehgt ... hull got instable because of high point of CG. I must say that with the right weight added the CM will be as stable as the original CM!
The total weight for the test was over 25kgs! It need another 3-4kgs to reach the right waterline. Now I have to get a lot of scrap iron to fill all avaiable space with it ...
-
Best "Party Time" ice chest I've seen in a long time. {-) {-) Keep up the good work.

A CM turned from a King Crab fishing vessel into a performance enhancing drugs bootlegger. :police:
-
You are too funny!!!!! {-)
-
I am looking for 2 pieces of soundmodules. Must have a good modern diesel sound and reasonably priced. I was thinking of using the one from Technobot Programmable Engine Sound System Mk2. Are they OK to use?
http://www.technobotsonline.com/programmable-engine-sound-system-mk2.html (http://www.technobotsonline.com/programmable-engine-sound-system-mk2.html)
The CM has 2 engines .... is there really a need to install two of them in the model?
-
The Mk2 version is listed as having two RC inputs and would use the higher speed (ESC) to the output of sound from the unit giving you the fastest engine noise from which ever side id running the fastest
-
Yes I read this option ... maybe it would be nice to have 2 sound modules for a better sound maybe even a little bit out of sync L/R engine??
-
Very nice job and inspiring! :-))
Somewhere I have some pictures of the real CM moored in Kodiak Alaska (about 2 years ago). I don't mean to hijack your build thread but I would be happy to post them if they would be helpful.
Best regards,
Andy

Hi Andy
Thanks a lot! Please feel free to post your pics here ... any pictures will help me build the CM.

Hi Danielle,
Congrats on thinking of a novel way of test floating the CM and inventing a new accessory for pool parties at the same time ! In case the lack of stability should affect your plans (Though I wouldn't think so ) the greater part of that loss was due to using cans/ bottles of liquid, each of which were not 100% full. This slack 'water' causes a thing called 'free surface effect' which decreases the stability markedly. If you think of the difficulty of carrying a washbowl full of water because the contents slosh about, this is in effect what is happening in every can etc.
After that useless bit of information ! Enjoying following the progress of your excellent model. Thanks !
regards
Mike

I took these pictures in Kodiak Alaska in 2011 (I recall) when she was laid up between fishing seasons. I hope they help with some details. :-)

Fantastic pictures of the CM Andy!!!!!!! Thank ouy very much!!!!! With them some of my "???" I had have been solved!!!!!!!
Cheers Danielle
-
I wish I had taken more photos at the time but the boat is so tall I couldn't find a good spot to get capture a lot of details and in Kodiak AK, you don't dare board someone's vessel unless you've been invited...
I grabbed a few pictures of the Time Bandit hauled out of the water at the shipyard, as well. ok2
-
Just one question about the color of the Cornelia Marie. Is it really green like seen on your pictures.
If you don't mind ... would you please send me the pictures of the Time Bandit by email? ---> missyd at gmx.ch
-
I bought 4 batteries each 12V/7Ah and 2.7kg ... 9.8kg in ballast from the batteries ... nice! I need over 25kgs ballast ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/1234382_10201762578687469_1101090468_n_zps916d2329.jpg)
The Anita and I put some color to the inside of the hull. Looks nicer and waterproofs the inside as well.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/1235155_10201763980922524_906408626_n_zps36b61d96.jpg)
Cardboard mock-up of the lower part of rear superstructure ... nearly OK! The rear sloped walls need 1-2° more ...

I was up in Kodiak in late March or early April and the light can be kind of funny. I'm pretty sure those pictures were taken late in the day and the light made the paint look a little greener than you might expect. I think early that day it rained, snowed and then it cleared up to a beautiful afternoon. Ha ha!
I can definitely email you some Time Bandit pictures tomorrow when locate the camera chip (again....) {:-{
BTW - you've done a nice job shaping the bow. The plans on the website shows a bow that, in my experience, seems to be a little too pointed. Yours is much closer to the style of many of these boats.
-
Thank you very much for info abour the bow! I was thinking of changing the shape to a more pointed version ... but I wasn't 100% if it would come out OK. Now I will leave it as it is!
-
Designers all have their own ideas about how a boat will move through the water. A sharp entry might blow through a wave rather than lift with the wave. A blunt bow may slam and pound.
Here's a couple teaser pictures of the bow of the Time Bandit for comparison.
-
Just a question Andy........the location looks like a disused stone quarry %) ....how do the intend to re-float the vessel?....40 days & 40 nights of rain?....... {-) ....Derek
-
I think this bow on the time bandit is ugly ... maybe it saves some fuel? %)
The crabbers need to be very stable in very bad weather. No need to go fast or powerful for big trawling nets.
-
Added another 9mm to the top of the bow. Had to do this because the bow was too low (or the crab pots a little too big). They have to fit under the shelterdeck.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/1208690_10201781638443951_764109234_n_zps9a2d7593.jpg)
Then I made corrections to the cardboard mockup. A little bit more sloping to the back and rear sides. Couldn't resist to put all crab pots on deck to see if it looks ok!!! Looks just fantastic!!!!

Maybe they are going to swamp the quarry with shale oil (http://www.eenews.net/stories/1059978794)?

Never having watched the Deadliest Catch (lack a satellite dish to receive those Reality TV committed channels) I cannot say what the hull of the TIME BANDIT used to look like.
But this protruding cylindrical bulb to me looks like having been retrofitted later, post-delivery so to speak.
As the diameter of its cylinder doesn't look too wide and the structure of cylinder and semi-sphere quite sturdy, I think the perils of slamming aren't excessive, despite the Alaskan notoriously heavy sea.
If it helps cutting fuel costs in moderate sea states.
-
The bulb was retrofitted 2 years ago ... maybe we should open another topic about king crabbers? ;)

Just to pics ... after my summer holidays I started to build some more stuff in cardboard to check if everything fits together.

Some more pics of my cardboardworks!!! Everything looks alright and I can build the rest of the CM!!! It looks very impressive in real size! The hull shape is different than all model ships you see normally. ;)

I started to add the 2nd. layer of planking to the hull. Very nice this 1.2mm plywood.

I've done most of the lower planking during the last weeks. Now I have to fill-up all the imperfections with putty.

I do not intend to make a very smooth hull as the original looks very beaten up!!!
I went to the modelfair at Friedrichshafen in southern germany last weekend. I found some really small 1:700 geared 3V motors for the radars. They are used in the 1/87 RC-Cars .... :-)
Very expensive at 24.50 Euro but I think smaller motors do not exist ...

With my oscillating sander I sanded all the putty to a smooth surface. Just a matter of a few minutes!! Nailheads are flat with the 1.2mm plywood.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FACF00AA-62DC-462A-B803-9443A82610E7-7038-000009F65D0882D5_zps3771995c.jpg)

Next step is to install the rudders and reinforcement bars for the rudders. Everything will be made out of brass profiles.

Have you got a picture of your oscillating sander please. It sounds just the job.
Cheers

Ken ,sander is in the pics it looks like a Black and decker/bosh type
Dave
-
Yes Stavros.......definitely appears to be the Bosch........Derek
-
Yes its exactly this Bosch model! I like it a lot. It sand to a very smooth surface even with 80grade sandpaper and quick!!!!!
-
missyd ........
1. you are now embarking on the path of painting...........could I suggest that you re-read the full detail by Stavros [Dave] in the Painting thread here on MBM ....where Dave nominates W&D paper down to 1200 from memory........
2. are those pin nails brass or iron?.........
Derek
-
Thanks for showing which sander was meant. :-)) Lately I have been watching a TV show from the states which features "Norm's workshop" and have seen sanding machines to make your juices flow. Real industrial types that rotate and rise and fall that really do the job.
Just me, looking for the easy way out. :}

Hi Derek
I will red thepainting tread. Thnks for the suggestion. I only want to say that ships never have a very smooth surface. The hull will be covered with the thinniest glass fabric/parquet lacquer method. This will cover all steel pins visible.
Today I glued in the brass tubes for the two rudders.
Cheers Danielle

Yesterday I managed to fit the brass tubes over the propshafts ... now it looks much better and I can add al the neccessary details of rather complicated the rudder/propshaft assembly.

Hullo missyd..... .....sometimes it is very difficult to see what is going on & we can get confused......especially from 22,000km away...... %)
1. from the image of the real vessel I see port prop as anticlockwise rotation + stdb prop clockwise rotation for fwd motion [contra rotating outward turning]
2. from your model I see port prop as clockwise rotation + stdb prop anticlockwise rotation for fwd motion [contra rotating inward turning]
Just an observation........ :o Derek
-
Thanks a lot Derek!!!! I will change left prop to the right and right prop to the left ... put them into place just for the picture!!! :-)
-
I did part of the assembly yesterday ... didn't come out too bad for the first try. But ..... its to complicated to get all part done and soldered in brass. I will redo "the thing" with plastic profiles from my model shop ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/A4616618-C8B1-4B71-9E5C-D6B723A61897-4595-00000541C943DE81_zps10b6a217.jpg)

-
missyd...if you are talking about securing plastic A supports to brass... >>:-( I doubt if it would be strong enough
Your attempt here looks OK.....you could consider lightly drilling the main brass tube to locate the 3 legs prior to soldering.......another consideration is the choice of soldering equipment......those little pencil gas torches & liquid flux assist
You can also soak a paper hand towel in water and wrap around parts to act as a heat sink
I think it would be worthwhile to continue to practise soldered construction.....Derek
-
Thanks for your advice Derek! I will try and solder more parts in brass in the future. Fot the Cornelia Marie I will build the parts with plastic profiles ... got to the shop and bought all the profiles I need. Much easier to do ...

Hi Danielle, I am enjoying your build, your work is first class but correct me if I am wrong, you have the props marked L & R but your boat is upside down so they will be the other way round when the boat is upright. I am not sure it matters but I saw that happen before with the navigation lights when installed with the boat upside down. Good luck with your build it is coming along great & thanks for sharing with us. Mick B.
-
Thanks Mick ... I know that I misslabelled L&R ... the props will be installed only after I tested them with the motors in place ... can never remember which one goes left or right ... I have one leftturning and one rightturning ...
Just love working with these ABS-Profiles!!!! I hope everything is finished till the end of the week. Aluminium profile is used to keep everthing level ....

As soon as the second is finished I have to make the pump inlets and finish the planking ...
-
:o ....those propeller's must be getting dizzy missyd....one day left...next day right...next day? {-) .......Derek

With your help it will be corrected in the future...for photographic reason I just put the propellers on never mind left or right ...
Rudders are finished! (still some sanding needed)

...sometimes it is very difficult to see what is going on & we can get confused......especially from 22,000km away...
Hi Derek,
seems you are measuring distances from Down Under.
I think Danielle is spying not more than some 8000 km (http://www.distance-calculator.co.uk/world-distances-anchorage-to-zurich.htm) into the Wild Blue Yonder.
1. from the image of the real vessel I see port prop as anticlockwise rotation + stdb prop clockwise rotation for fwd motion [contra rotating outward turning]
2. from your model I see port prop as clockwise rotation + stdb prop anticlockwise rotation for fwd motion [contra rotating inward turning]
Just an observation...
Though correctly observed, in Danielle's place I would wait until her model of CM is ready for her first "sea" trials,
and then decide on whether letting the props turn outwardly or inwardly from the outcome of trials with respectively different arrangement.
I think for twin screw propulsion on real ships it cannot definitively be determined which arrangement is to prefer in general and both constellations can be found,
although I think that a slight majority of ship operators let the props turn outwardly.
Afaik, there aren't even distinct recommendations for either constellation that could be based on scientific evidence despite some research in this area by ship model basins, CFD analysis and ship hydrodynamicists´ experience.
Especially in model scale often the manoeuvrability can be considerably improved when letting the props turn inwardly (albeit this might relate to a single centre line rudder arrangement).
-
Thanks a lot folks ... wait and see ... the CM will be a very unique model ... :}

Not much done lately ... upper deck is nearly done.

Still impressed by your building techniques :-))
Sorry to hear about the job situation, but noted your 'ah well always get a new one' remark. Well seeing you are in Switzerland and not Cameron Land >:-o
Mike
Hope I can built as much as I can during the next weeks. Without a job since christmas ... never mind ... I'll find another one.
-
Yes in Switzerland it is still possible to find a job. But not really easy if you are over 50 ....
-
I would have thought that you belonged to the much younger Millennials (or Generation Y as they are also often referred to).
Interestingly, quite a few companies here in Germany have begun to rediscover and appreciate the virtues and assets of mature employees lately.
-
That's also happening with a few companies here in NZ, then we get accused of stopping the school leavers from finding jobs.
But, the companies realize us oldies are required to train up the newbie youngsters before we disappear and there is no one to train the new.
Here and Australia, there is a gap in the workforce, where no one trained any new, so no young was employed. The missing generation gap is now evident.
cheers
:-))
Good luck in your job hunt missyd

Hello Danielle,
Still looking great, that hull fine on the port bow in the previous set of pictures looks interesting. Could it be a sailing barge or similar ?
regards
Mike
-
Hello Danielle,
is the reddish paint coat only a layer of primer? I thought the CM had a light blue hull above the water line.
But the vessel in red would look also very interesting and would draw much attention I suppose.
Regards,
Ralph
-
@Mike: You're right. Its the hull of a italian sailing boat from the adriatic sea in 1/6th scale. I will finish it not as sailing boat but finish it as motorised boat to collect shells.
@Ralph: The Cornelia Marie has a red primer beneath the blue or black (under the waterline) color. The right colors are already on stock and waiting to be used.

Great work
You are fairly coming on......have you tried it in water yet with ballast ?
I would have thought being wooden and solidly built, you might not need much ballast
:-))
-
Yes I have ... some months ago .... it needs around 20-25kgs ballast .... ok2

missyd....Danielle....what do you use oxy-propane for? (http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/Smileys/Tug/shocked.gif) ......Derek
I bought that some years ago to built a 1/6 scale tank. And then I had planned to use it for welding some parts together for the Cornelia Marie ... too much hassle ... prefer ABS profiles and wood.
Just finished two doors early this morning ...

Wheelhouse protection pipes half done. The upper part will be on the wheelhouse so I can take it off. There is a M2 treaded rod inside that is poltet to the deck.

She is certainly coming along nicely, after looking at your last series of pics I realised what good clear pictures you take as well.
Certainly a lady of many talents !

Thanks a lot Mike! All pics are taken with my iPhone ... I wish I could take them with my big Nikon but its too dirty in my buildig space for it to use.
Today I did the handrails on deck.

I will not comment on the following Airbrush session I did ... 2 cheap sets did not work at all and only the third set I bought incl. compressor did work very well! Next time I will buy an expensive one from the beginning ....
I'm no professional with spraypainting .... the results are not very nice but I will used to it.

And I did try out the turquoise blue I bought some time ago ... its a special airbrush color that was very expensive but its wonderful to work with.

Just have to write that the blue color is a little bit on the drk side and will be much lighter in future.
-
I added a lot of white to the blue to get nearer the original one. Blue color on pics a little bit darker than it is in reality...

Hi Danielle,
your build is making rapid progress.
Now as more and more detail is being added it is getting ever more interesting to follow.
I know, you had written that the first layer of blue paint was merely a test run to get acquainted with your airbrush pistol.
I cannot remember which were the better systems and devices. The ones that have the paint cup below the pistol's muzzle or those on top of it, as yours?
I think the latter are the better and more expensive devices. Just in case I can ever afford to buy me a set.
But the colour looks a wee bit too dark to me when comparing with the colour photos of the CM that I have seen.
Might be accounted for the well-known darkening effect of exactly the same colours (e.g. RAL Nos.) when applied to the small surfaces of a model as compared to the large areas of the original vessel.
Looks your chances of finding a job will increase soon, now that the Swiss People voted in favour of curbing labour immegrants from e.g. Germany and Italy (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26108597). %%
Never mind, only pulling your leg. :}
However, yesterday's Bloomberg comment on the outcome and possible effects of the referendum (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-09/swiss-voters-support-immigration-limits-with-50-3-srf.html) was even harsher than that of the BBC above.
Regards,
Ralph
-
Thanks Ralph ... will get some time till I'll find a job but I don't give up. Will take a lot of time till the result of the referendum will change something.
I had 2 cheap airbrush pistols with the cup below but they never worked properly. I then bought a set from my local DIY shop for 100£ with the cup above and a air compressor. This set works fine. The color is much lighter than on the pictures. I checked it in the sun and it looks allright.
Everyday a new part. Today its the anchor and its support.

"Checked it in the SUN " What's that when it's out then ! :((
As you say it depends on the light, as is shown in the two pics. The exterior shot looks darker than the one of the inside bulwarks in different light conditions.
I never realised what a Mickey Mouse arrangement she had for her forr'd anchor, especially in the seas around those parts. Looks like its just asking to be sent flying in a bad head sea, securing pins or whatever regardless !
regards
Mike

Impressive work, I only hope my skills can match yours one day, I do love those little men :-))
-
@Mike. The picture on the trolley was made around 4pm ... no sun ...
I never built such a nice model by myself and without plans ... you'll learn things the more you build on a model ship.
Here a picture directly in the sun around noon! Big difference in color. And I must say its still lighter as on the picture! It is very difficult to find the right color! I have pictures all with different shades of blue and even some where she looks like she has a green color. It must be the light situation in Alaska that changes the color from day to day ....

Worked on the bow today ... I want to finish it asap ... the n I can put on the blue paint outside.

And to end the day I turned the foundation of the crane on my lathe. Looks alright for me.

Great detail work Danielle ! Wish I could match it :-))
Mike

thanks a lot Mike! I wish I would build in 1/24 or 1/16 scale to add even more details .... ok2

I think Capt. Phil have a big smile on, when he look down from heaven and see your beautyfull and detail work on his beloved Cornelia Marie :-) . Keep up the good work :-)) .
Best Regards Brian..

missyd.........great progress...I like the matt blue paintwork..... :-))
Have you checked the discharge angle of the five exhaust pipes?........not the angle of the pipes them selves ;)....but the cut off angle of each pipe mouth ....................Derek
-
Yes I have checked the angles ... I took the angles from different pictures but non was 100% clear to say the angle is exactly xy°.... please note that I build my CM without any drawings or measurements .... ok2

Two of the four crab tanks have a live water future! Its driven by a 12V waterpump that actually runs on 6V.
We installed a quick test setup in the kitchen to see if everything is working ... to my surprise everything worked as planned.
Anita my wife took the video ...

Still looking great, is it starting to feel a bit heavy by now ? The idea of pumping water into the model, then presumably overflowing across the deck a la the overflowing tanks of the CM is certainly a novel addition, if not a little unnerving ! The idea of introducing water from the outside into the model goes against the instincts :embarrassed:
Mike
-
You're right Mike. A very special feature. Actually I had planned to include a big waterfilled tank in the front compartment. But I have not figured out how to do it in a safe way and so I decided to delete it from my plans. Weight is really no problem. 25kg minimum are needed to get the Cornelia Maria on the waterline. We'll see if everything works out as planned.
-
I think you might be surprised at the loss of stability if a larger tank were to be allowed to slop around. The Free Surface Effect can be considerable - I speak with many stressful experiences of loading full size ships when stability was tight, in the 'good old days' >:-o
Mike
-
I have played with such an idea myself...
the solution to stop the swishing is,
on the inside of the tank, we have a lid maybe glued to some foam this will rise and fall with the amount of water....this lid will be fixed on a runner either side of the tank, which means it can only rise with the amount of water, the runners will be made in such a way that they can only work together...i.e when the boat is level the water can be put into the tank, when the boat is not level the runners wont work, ( prevents sloshing about )
in theory it works in my head...... {-) {-) ........not got round to practical installation and trials yet though
:-))
-
Chris and Mike ... you're both right. I would have added sloshing boards to the inside of the tanks just like they have on some boats ...

Alternatively - install clear thin (.5mm) plastic baffles - egg crate/ice cube tray shape - interlaced fingers square pattern about 3/4 depth of the water with a reasonable number of holes - the holes allow the water to circulate, the baffles add resistance to the water moving about too much, like what they have in fluid road tankers - clean and thin so they 'disappear' in the water - just a thought if in full view, if not on show, just put the baffles in

Exactly what I wanted to do .... :-))
-
On a full sized ship the double bottom ballast and fuel tanks all have inter-plates with lightening holes in them similar to the baffles you mention. Lets say there is a strong breeze when the model is on the water, all models naturally heel a bit to the wind and it is at this prolonged lying at an angle that allows the tank water to percolate through the baffles and across to the low side and increase the list. Bobbing about on the waves indeed helps cancel out the heeling effect.
Not saying for a moment that it is instant gloom and doom ! just to be aware. :-))

Love the brasswork mast. :-))
And the added layer to the decking :o thats a layer of detail I probably wouldn't have built.
Great Work. 8)
...
Oh,...

Thanks a lot! The added layer on the deck is mandatory to get rid of the water splashing on deck and the water coming out of the 2 forward crab tanks.
Wonderful block to haul in the pots! Can I order one? ok2

This site is worth a look. On his stand at shows he has a crab table set up, I do not know how he does it but the crabs move.
Will see if I can find a video clip.

If you eat Spanish mussels there are many crabs Inside , 5 / 7mm of diameter

You put some granules in the fish for the cat: you have the smell :-))

Still looking great, you certainly have an eye for detail ! The rust around the crab tank lids is very realistic.
Always looking out for your next set of pics
Mike

Any plan on a launch date?
-
Actually I had planned to attend 2 shows in Switzerland this year. Sadly I takes more time to finish the CM than I had planned. I think maybe in Nov/Dec it will be ready for launching.
-
I wouldn't let the fact that the model isn't finished put you off from attending an event.
Events are where you get to share your work and meet other locals with the same hobby.
Share, inspire, and be inspired. Worst thing that could happen is that you find a new
subject that you want to model.
ok2
-
You're right ... but I want to attend my first show with a 100% working model. I want to see the faces of the visitors when they see it for the first time ... ok2
BTW ... the next model is in the pipeline ... a italian trawler for a friend of mine ... actually its his trawler he owned once ...

Started working on the hydraulic crane ...

Nice workmanship
i admire your work :-))
ken

I agree with Kens remarks, a pleasure to have followed your build through. Must have got a bit humid at times in the workshop with the washing machine and spin dryer going in the background ! O0 ok2
Mike
-
Thanks a lot Ken and Mike.
Actually its not really humid from the washing machine or tumbler ... tumbler has a built in condenserbox. when the tumbler is working the air is too dry!
A quick paint job for all the remaining unpainted parts on the upper deck ...

Two new parts done last week ... the bait chopper and the sorting table.

And we found a very useful dolly ... with a few changements we can use it to transport the CM from carpark to the exhibition.

-
Looking good as ever Danielle :-))
At this rate it will be a sin to get it wet ! ;)
Mike
-
It's really coming to life with the sorting table and bait grinder.
When she goes on display you will need a fishy aroma wafting
up from the decks :-))
Ned
-
Looking spot on :-)) How did you make the nav & fishing lights just like the real aqua signal ones perfect ?
-
Thanks a lot my friends! Its really fun to build it!
I could rub some bad smelling old fish from my fishmonger over the deck for the right smell .... ok2
The nav lights are from a german online shop (Modellbau Kaufhaus) they sell wonderful stuff there.
The small fishing lights are from Robbe and the big lamps with the 2 LEDs are scratchbuilt (both lacking the glass).
-
A bit of Acetate from the photo copy shop might make good lens for your lamps.
Evergreen or Plastruct make clear styrene. It can be a bit crisp though, and fracture
along the edges as you cut. It's not a split either, more of a delamination fracture if you use a dull knife.
Raboesch makes a nice 0.010 clear PVC.
I prefer the PVC over the styrene, the acetate is okay.
I use the PVC for window glass, and it comes in tints if you prefer
a brown(smoked) glass or blue or green tint windows at the bridge.
:-))
-
Thanks for the Informations about the "glass" for windows.
I finished all the equipment on deck. Some smaller things like bait bins/sacks, cod, crabs and other stuff will be added later.

That looks so realistic - I can't wait to see this finished :-))
-
The Block, Sorting table, pot launcher and line coiler
really bring the deck alive.
Crab, cod and a few bits of rope for the crew to get involved
with will be the icing on the cake.
Can't wait for the launch.
Ned
-
This is a first class build all the way. I am one of many waiting for the launch. Thank you again for sharing. Mick B.
-
Thanks a lot for all the compliments my friends. I hope I can model a few king crabs and some cod and bait boxes as well.
Built 2 handles for lifting the deck safely from the ship. Space is very thight and I have only a few mm to spare. They have a M4 tread for easy fixing on the deck.

Happy New Year to you both Danielle and Anita.
It all looks very realistic with the pots,crew ropes and booeys.
Ned

Hi Danielle
On your Facebook blog is a photo of a 4 wheel truck with canvas sides and bottom, is this what you use to transport your models???? if so where did you get it?????
Regards
Mark
-
Hi Mark
Thats the 4 wheel truck we will use to transport the CM.
http://www.amazon.de/Hudora-10321-HUDORA-%C3%9Cberl%C3%A4nder-Handwagen/dp/B00DCT3DF0 (http://www.amazon.de/Hudora-10321-HUDORA-%C3%9Cberl%C3%A4nder-Handwagen/dp/B00DCT3DF0)
I have to fit some sort of support for the CM on top but the truck is foldable and rides very well.

Finished Phil's "office" and put all glass into the window & spotlights. Some weathering is done and the stripes.

Redid the CM Logo on the bow. I wasn't too happy with the yellow color and my wife thought its time to change it.

Thanks a lot Mick. The CM is not ready for the water. All stuff inside has to be made in the next weeks.

First I added some scratches all over the hull and then I did some work with acrylic paint and brushes and other useful stuff ...

I have been so impressed with your standard of model making all the way through, Danielle, but your expertise at weathering the model is the icing on the cake !
Are the crabs sitting on the deck down aft waiting for the cook ?
Mike
-
Thanks a lot Mike ... I think some of the crabs will land in the cooks hand!!!!! ok2
BTW ... no airbrush was used for weathering ...
-
Lovely work Danielle
You and your wife should feel very proud of your efforts
:-))
Now get it on the water :-)
-
Is that a choice because you have tried both methods ? Not that I have experience in this skill and my relationship with an airbrush has been mediocre, if that is what can be achieved using the 'dry brush' method then that will be my choice
Mike
-
Mike I tried the airbrush once ... all the blue on the boat was airbrushed. But the mess it created in my workshop and cleaning all the stuff afterwards wasn't what I had expected.
Some more pictures of the built ....

I'm sorry Mark ... first outing is planned for an end of April modelboat-show in Switzerland.
BTW the hull is completely empty ... I did not start with fitting the stuff inside sofar.
You have to be patient for some more weeks .... ;)

Thanky you very much!!! Your postings give me new motivation to finish the project.
I did some more work .... Battery holder for 3x 12V (Motors and Lights) & 1x 6V (Waterpump)

Just noticed in your latest pics that there might be a bit of vibration from the stbd motor as there is a slight misalignment at the U/J.
You are probably aware of this already, but I'm just chuffed at finding my first small blip in this great build ! {-)
Mike
-
@Mike: Yes I know ok2
I'll see if it creates vibrations or not. The motor unit has some rubber mats under it.
-
Hi Danielle, I thought you would have noticed :-))
It was probably just good old envy that prompted the post anyway ! O0
Mike
-
:-)) The problem with the misalignment is the result of "absolutely no experience" and "it looks ok it is ok". ;)

HI Danielle
Back to your post after several weeks, 2 things, you mentioned that when you sprayed the hull there was a terible mess, try hanging a damp sheet around the spray area, (DAMP) this causes the overspray to stick to the sheet and not go everywhere, the other or combined reason is that you posibly had the spray presure to high for the thickness of paint, this would also give a sandpaper effect as the paint is already drying befor it hits the surface.
Hope your problems wont stop you spraying, the effects and finish with practice can be superb.
Your photo of the speed controlers, are you fitting a plate above the rudders? if not please make sure the wireing cant droop down into the chain drive.
Regards
Mark
-
Danielle sorry to be picky but I can also see a potential problem in the wireing dept ....it is called Tamyia connectors....Personally I would change these for XT60 connectors which will carry a lot more current then those
Tamya ones

Dave
-
@Mark: Thank you for the very good idea with the damp sheet!!! I'll try this with my next trawler model. No problem with the chain for the rudders ... everything stays in place and out of the way!
@Dave: I know the Tamyia connectors are rubish! But the drawn current is very low (only 35mm screws). I never used other connectors a the Tamyia ones ...
I added the rubber sealing on the deck.

HI Danielle
Was that water park a normal boating area or was it a special event??
Mark
-
Mark it was the annual model-boat-show of a club ... it was held in a outdoor swimming pool(s). One pool for the slow models and one for the racing boats.
-
Just a quick question:
The CM is running on two 12V Motors (Igarachi 3657-050, 10-14V, rated voltage 12VDC, noload current 0.25A, load current max. 1.6A, noload 8000rpm) each connected to a 6V/9Ah lead/acid battery. On full speed the CM is about on the right speed but if there is some wind/waves she'll have problems .... more power is needed.
I ordered 2 motors (Igarachi SP3657-030, 3-14V, rated voltage 7.2VDC, noload current 1.6A, load current max. 8A, noload 10500rpm) they will run on the same 6V/9Ah battery.
I hope they will make my CM a little bit faster.
I am right or not?
-
That's about a 25% increase in unloaded speed so it should give you a little more speed.
If the existing motors are not getting warm in use then another option might be to go for the next size up props.
-
Thanks for the info.
Motors and ESCs are always cool.
Can't go for bigger props as the space is limited to max. 35mm props.
-

A lot more than 25% surely.

Running on 6v.
Ned
-
Ok Ned ... thanks for the information! I'll write here if the new motors are allright.
-
Danielle, a diffferent solution, up-grade the battery to 12v this would increse the revs and give a little more tourque. Would your ESC allow that?

No the ESCs do not like 12V even if they should handle 12V .... Graupner Navy VR15 ....
Thats why I switched from 12 to 6V....

Regards
Mike
-
Thanks a lot Mike.
The real test will be when we are lucky and have a nice day with wind and waves at on of the lakes we can visit with the CM. Murky water, waves and the video/fotoequipment ready ... thats why I built it ... to make pictures just they do in real live.
-
Replaced the 12V Motors with some 7.2V much more power for bad weather conditions!
I also relocated the on/off switches for the ESCs. Both can be switched from the outside of the CM without opening a hatch or taking of something.
A test in the bathtub was successful and I hope to take her to a nice lake soon to take some better pictures.

hiya,
Do you then run these on 12 volts. I have a batch of 7.2 volt motors I was planning to try on a 12 volts supply. (not flat out, I may add)
I wondered if it did them any harm.

No Ken..... If I remember correctly she mentioned in an earlier post that the motors were running on 6V Lead acid batteries

Sorry forgot to mention that everything but the 12V LEDs runs on 6V acid lead batteries ...

Hi Danielle, just back from holiday and catching up on MBM to find the big event has passed and gone !
Congratulations the Cornelia looks every bit as good as she promised to be and more ! I bet you were a bit nervous risking so much work and attention loose amongst the mayhem going on at the show, I certainly would have been.
As someone has mentioned , it would be even better to see her in more opaque waters, that would give her an even more realistic image.
Hope she gives you many hours of entertainment - that is, until the next model comes along.......................................?? %)
Mike
-
Thanks a lot Mike. It was a fantastic experience at the show! Its a pleasure to steer with ease the CM around all obstacles on water during the show.
We will take more realistiv pictures on a lake as soon as the weather is better .... hope to stay at the lake the afternoon till it gets dark. We also plan to drive in the alps to take more pictures in very realistic "nordic" environment ... any update concening the CM will be posted here.
My next model will be an elegant italian fishtrawler ....

Elegant ? If the Cornelia wasn't elegant what is ? O0 Only joking, I'm sure the new build will be equally beautiful and looking forward to following the build.
Mike

You can decide about the elegantness of the CM and the italian Nuova Loredana .....

That is a most elegant boat. The owners and skipper must be very proud of her. Are you starting another topic for this build??
Mark

I met the owner and skipper and his crew personally ... most friendly people. I have some 100 picture on my pc and some original drawings to help me with the build.

The water came very often up and over the reling and at the end the was 1/2 cup of water in the hull ... no problem as with all the partitions inside the water stayed in place and did not filled the whole hull.

Great images on big water ....she looks very realistic ...congratulations Danielle O0...............
I suspect that lake Walensee is also very deep.....so you are also very brave :o...........Derek
PS...I just found it........Surface area ...24.19 km² .....Average depth...104.7 m :embarrassed:....Max. depth 151 m <*<....Water volume....2.5 km³

Thank you very much Derek .... some of the waves where huge but on the pictures you wont see them. The videos aren't ready yet ...

Very impressive Danielle.
The CM handles much like the real one :-)) :-))
Congratulations.
Ned
-
I love it, she looks fantastic in those waves and confidently stable too.
More please :-))
-
Congratulations Danielle, she looks great :-)) I like the second last picture in the stills where she is showing a bit of her beam ends and displaying your beautifully done weathering and the video also came out great, the way she corkscrewed in the quarterly seas was most realistic.
You certainly don't do things by halves ! As Derek Warner said, it took a bit of courage to sail her in that big lump of water ! It certainly would need an very big pair of wellies if things went wrong %%
Mike
-
Thanks a lot to you all!!!!
Wellies wouldn't have been enough to save her out of distress .... I kept her near the shoreline .... but there where some hairy moment when she was 90° to the waves nearly topling over .... more videos will be posted here in the next days ...
-
You need to do this again in winter, to see if you can get scale ice build up. %%
Jim
-
@Jim: I think this is possible but there must be also wind and waves ... and I can't walk into the lake barefooted and with my shorts on ... {:-{

Brilliant danielle! How many crabs did she catch?
Mike

Thanks Mike no crabs catched .... as you can see all deckhands where having lunch!!! :embarrassed:

Part 2 - brilliant :-))....... 2:36 to 2:42.....very life like........in Part 4 ......2:20 to 2:50...... wallowing across the waves/swell <*< extra brilliant ....possible the best footage
In Part 2, I thought the cargo had moved in her hull as she appeared to list to STDB, however Part 4 discounted this......you should be very proud Danielle.....O0........ Derek
-
As Derek said, a boat to be really proud of !
I like the shots of her in a quarterly/following 'sea' best - maybe because it was it was that corkscrewing motion I found least comfortable with in the real thing ! :((
Has any manufacturer come up with a realistic flag yet ? There must be a modern material made sufficiently fine to enable the flag to 'droop' realistically instead of sticking out bar straight and detracting from the realism.
All in all a beautiful model, now for things slinky and Italian............................................?
Mike
-
Looking great!!
Good job, very realistic! :-))
Hama
-
Thanks a lot to you all for all the kind compliments!!!!
The flag is not was I really like but there's no other aviable ... btw the wind was strong enough to keep the flag as schown in the pics/video.

Missyd I have been following your thread on this forum over the last few days and must say that it is without doubt one of the finest models I have ever seen, and I don't mean one of the finest model boats I mean its one of the finest model anything I have seen. Well done its superb.
I am no photographer but I think that if you photograph the model with the camera at water level looking up at the front of the boat and the front of the ship in focus and background (or even the back of the ship) out of focus it will be very hard to tell it from the real ship.
I would be tempted to pay a professional photographer to photograph it if I had something that looks as realistic as that. I look forward to your next model..... well done again.... U2
-
Have you sent a link to the build & pics to the CM website? I'm sure they would be pleased to see your hard work :)
-
Thank you very much for your big compliments! I am speechless by all the positive replies from so many!
I have sent pictures of my CM to Josh Harris (no reply) an Casey McMagnus (liked my model but for him it was to much weathered) ... all other internet pages or facebook pages are not run by the CM Crew itself ...

Hi Danielle
At this time of year they may be on the Salmon fishing as a tender boat like last year, DC showed they were very busy, might not have time to reply or to tired.

... more work to be done on my Cornelia Marie.
There was too much water entering the hull via the openings on deck and so I decided to do everything new.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/77C046EF-D120-4AC5-B12A-D0B9BC56E0D5_zpsoqiojdng.jpg)

-
Redid the whole thing and now there are 2 rows of rubber sealing to keep the water out.

And a piece of kitchen roll to soak it up if they don't. :-)

The new propellers have arrived ... 35mm from Raboesch. Now the CM has the right look!

-
Brilliant props, have used them for years, look so good in the shiny brass finish, almost to good to put in the water
Mark
-
I've just bought one of these props (40mm 3 blade though) and the finish is gorgeous. My intention is that my build will be something I can put on the shelf and admire as well as use, and if the components available are consistently this high in quality I may just be able to achieve it.
Really impressed with the Cornelia Marie, great looking ship.
-
Thanks a lot! Yes they are the best quality avaiable at the moment. I also like the loog of them ... the CM sits high on a bookshalf and so you see the props very good.
-
New props are on and everything ready for the next outing on the Bering sea .... :}
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/76DDF3A6-3EA5-4012-A573-D52326A18917_zpswspcvl8l.jpg)

Then I filled up the spaces in the hull with foam rubber .... now no more problems with splashing water in the hull.

-
She looks great with the new props, Dannielle
You probably have something similar already, but just in case. I carry in my tool box one of those trigger sprayer gadgets you get with domestic products, minus the bottle of course ! If you can find a length of tubing to replace th short bit fitted so much the better for getting into far corners of the hull and squirt any ingress back where it belongs !
Mike

Thats a great tip. I'll be using that one.

Super tip!!!!! :-)) :-))

You're welcome all. I would like to preen myself and say it was my idea, but in fact it was a tip from a fellow member years ago in the South Shields model boat club :-))
Mike
-
Hi Mike
Still a brilliant tip
Mark
-
My prop arrived 2 days ago in exactly the same bag but unfortunately I ordered the wrong size :embarrassed: silly me..... ill try and swap it. Yours look great :-))
Please please please tell me the recipe for your rusty chain look its superb and I would like to try and reproduce the same effect. U2
-
The rust is made with acrylic paint from the craft shop ... it has to be matte (dull) and never ever make the color thinner by adding fluid. Stir the paint well and off you go ... different shades of browns can be used. After 2-3 irregular layers over the original color (also Acrylic) the rust is perfect.
-
Thanks for that missyd I'm going to give it a try when I get around to the chains. Soon I hope. U2
-
Hello,
being new on the forum, I'm just "sailing" around trying to see as much topics as possible,
I have to say : WOOOW, that's an amazing job you did, it looks like the real thing :-)) :-))
congrats O0 O0

Some pictures from the lake on the Fluela pass in Switzerland. Wonderful place to let the CM into the water and enyoy a few hours of her on this wonderful lake.

You cant get much better!!!! Freezing spray and white water over the bows, solid ice clinging to the stack. Superb

Should go out to the lake at -10°C!!!

Careful you don't get carried away ! There is a point when the attempt at looking like reality might go too far and -10 deg C could well be it ! O0 :D
Mike

You're right Mike ... I'll leave the CM in the house during winter ... ;)
-
The CM got rammed by a tug on the lake ... the event was in the swiss mountains. Lake Dosso in San Bernadino.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/a5_zpssh8dwyix.jpg)
-
>:-o PLEASE tell me there was little or no damage ! O0
Mike
-
No damage .... :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
I've built the CM to the highest security standards in the model world .... planking is 4mm + 2mm plywood .... I should try out if an iceberg can do some damage .... {-)
-
So glad to hear that Danielle, on that second shot when the CM was heeled over I had visions of taking on water via the hatches. I trust you had some choice Alaskan Fishermen's words for the driver of the tug !
Mike
Ps I've tried pushing the white stuff around full size in the Baltic and I would leave the idea of doing it with the C M to the imagination !
-
Is this what you had in mind?
-
More white all over and no waves (the one saving grace of being in ice !)
But still a nice picture Dougal99
Mike
-
Exactly! Very nice picture of the tug! The lake had no real waves so I decided to fix the deck with only 4 screws instead of 8 .... happily only a small amout of water in the hull. But seeing the pictures I think only some degrees more and she would have heeled over ....
-
Was there no rudder or reverse on the Tug? {:-{
I'm no boat pilot yet but I can't see how you can ram someone by accident. I can understand with model cars and planes due to the speeds but not boats! If I wasn't an accomplished pilot I'd stay well clear for fear of sinking someone's pride and joy. U2
-
The captain of the tug had its problems .... the props where not enough into the water and stopping the tug resulted in a lot of bubbles and foam ...
-
2 new videos from the last event. The lake is located at San Bernadino near the San Bernadino pass in Switzerland (southeastern).

Can be done, but not in 1/32 scale .... maybe in 1/16? ok2

Hi Danielle,

PS: I wasn't joking about a deckhand wandering around .... its easy to have this function.
-
I think the latest video was the better of the two, probably it was the more overcast conditions and a little less chop on the water so the CM didn't have that 'bobbing' motion. The beginning was a little spooky with the realistic view from the wheelhouse of the rocky bottom, if I had seen that from the real thing a change of unerwear would have been on the cards :embarrassed: :}
Watching this space for tiny deckhands wandering around !
Mike
-
Thanks Mike. The second video was made in very strong winds (just before a thunderstorm) and choppy seas. This is not seen on the video. Plus the CM had a steering problem so that I was happy to get her back safe and sound.
-
The CM was always a little bit underpowered with the 12V motors running on 6V. cheapest solution is a prop change. Now the CM has 2x45mm instead of 2x35mm. The first test in the bathtub was a success! Hope this 3rd prop change will be the last one!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/C55772F4-6B2C-4EAC-9CFC-7E730678A712_zpsq13353iz.jpg)

After testing the CM with the new 45mm props in a fountain in Frauenfeld. A little bit small but you can do turns and equipped with fenders I could do some "parking" exercises ...
BTW the test was very positiv! I like the added power to the CM.

Now then, I like that idea. If it can be anchored against the side of the lake, or close in, it will look great - and, of course, you can tie alongside while you consume your favourite beverage. :-))
Regards,
Ray.

Thanks Ray. The next show is in a swimming pool .... will go well to anchor the CM there ....

My CM had always a few issues with the rudders .... so I decided to build some new ones .... and the props where too long!
Old parts ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/FV%20Cornelia%20Marie/DFB68245-0631-4CA5-9751-1578E41677B8_zpswhcc50mz.jpg)
After 1.5h the rudders are partly finished. The props are shorted as much as I could. You also can see the cardboard strip with the max. height the rudders can have.
I think the new rudders will be much better.

The upgrade with the new rudders is finished. I will paint them later this week.

Getting everything in working order takes longer than to make the rudders itself ...

Work is finished ... greased all axles and tested the whole stuff with the radio control ... I am happy with the results and the CM looks even better.

Danielle............with the extra surface area of the rudders, you will find the steerage is sharper or more responsive to the helm
Have you considered using an ACTion P96 servo slow down?........may assist in more scale like rudder movements over jerkiness

On the subject of steerage, could you please confirm the Brand of manufacture for your steering link ladder chain & sprockets....it doesn't appear to be from either Tamiya, the Servo City range from USA or any of the SPD offerings
Such a single installation of the chain drive will assist me in a very limited space area aft of the rudder post to achieve ~~ 180 degrees of swept rudder movement O0

Derek I bought the sprocket and chain from CONRAD ELECTRONIC in germany --->https://www.conrad.de/ (https://www.conrad.de/)
The chain can be fond in MECCANO kits. Its half the width and goes well with the thin meccano sprockets.
Sprockets are cheap module 1 ones.
Maybe I can find a onlineshop for you. Shops with robotics have them ....

I weathered the rudders and added some anodes ....

That is a lovely detail to add to aworking model Danielle.
I read the first four pages trying to work out how your hull had gone from a rounded shape with close pitch ply frames to a squarer bilge with fewer frames and a longer hull before realising that it wasn't Nuova but the thread of another lovely model that you had reopened. What a gorgeous model. I think she is one of the most realistic models I have seen on the water, and if the films were slowed down, people might wonder why you had spent so much time filming the real thing! Only the frequency of the waves makes it obvious that the ship is a model.
Also, I salute your reserves of enthusiasm for making so many crab pots. How did you make them? Wire and Viol netting?
-
Thanks a lot ... my wife does all filming of the CM. Its always very nice to see it on the lake.
The prototype crab pots where made by myself. The serie production by my wife. I use copper wire soldered together. Then the pots go into a saltwater bath for a couple of day so they start to corrode.
Netting is from a local sewing shop. Its netting intended for carneval costumes. Viol netting was to small. Original color is silver and therefore I spraypainted it to the right color.

Good lord, that is a lot of effort considering the shape of the pots. I salute your team work and perseverance :-))
-
The time is the thing, what superb modeling skills, when the new model is ready it may replace CM, it will better it, a brilliant team working together
Mark

Thanks .... the new boar will not replace the CM ... I build it for a friend of mine .... the Nuova Loredana was his fathers fishtrawler.

new wheels for the cart .... bigger and larger ....

Your hinged handle is clever Danielle with its pad and tension straps.

Works very good! :-))

Hi Missy, CM is handling great with the new props and rudders, wish we had show areas like that in the UK, looks like there was a good turnout of models on show
Mark

Thanks a lot! I do 1-2 show that are held in swimming pools. But I prefer a real lake. There where a lot of boats but not all where shown in water ....

Where did you get your crew from? Did you sculpt them yourself?? They have lots of character!

Its reported today (yesterday) that the fishing vessel Destination is missing with all hands in the Bering Sea. The search has been called off by the coastguard. The Destination appeared in the program Deadliest Catch along with the Cornelia Marie
-
Though the Destination was not a boat featured on Discovery’s Emmy-winning reality series Deadliest Catch (https://www.yahoo.com/tv/tagged/deadliest-catch), Hillstrand’s fellow captains on the show joined the Coast Guard and the boat’s owners (http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/northwest/disappearance-of-seattle-based-crab-boat-crew-a-mystery/) in expressing both their condolences to the crew’s family and friends and thanks to the shoreline volunteers and Good Samaritan vessels who aided in the search.
