I have been asked by a friend to build him a Damen Stan Tug 1606 so after some gentle arm twisting here goes.
The model will be based on the Sydney based Wattle and will be built to a scale of 1:20 so will end up 830mm long.
As per usual I will make a plug for molding in fibreglass (cause I might need one myself)

After a full day on the computer I generated the necessary lines and started laser cutting.

And Bill, if you see the MDF cutout with your name on it there, don't panic I've got another sheet arriving tomorrow
-
G'day Phil,
I have no problem, just unfortunate I couldn't get down to see you when I was last home. I will see you when I get back later this month.
I've found some more parts for the Royalist, just waiting for etch work to be scaled up to 1/72 the master for the director has been made should be another 6 weeks before they are available
-
A bit more done.

A bit of expanding foam to fill the void.

Now the real fun begins, some body filler and a bit of sanding.

Love it :-)) . I'll be watching this one.
Mark

Thanks for watching Mark, I got a chance to do a bit more today, a bit more sanding and a coat of primer but still a lot more work to go before molding.

Another great build Phil
I have my eye on it
Jason

Best part about this build is that its not for myself so I have to finish it!!!!
-
Hi Phil
Iv sent you a PM :-))
Jason
-
Hi Jason, did you get my return PM? think it might have gone somewhere else.
A bit more done today, the flat spots where the rubbing strips sit are glued on and the exhaust openings in place.

Started working on the bulwarks today, a couple of hours on the computer and 10 mins on the laser.

moving along fairly slowy but here's todays progress showing the curved transition between the two different bulwark heights and the shaping of the bow.
If the photos are too mundane please say so and I'll leave it longer between posts.

Bulwarks finally done (keep in mind it's only a plug so weight is not a problem)

Keep them coming, enjoying watching your progress.... :-))

Thanks longshanks, works a bit slow as its school holidays here at the moment, while the filler was drying I had to build my son a 1/72 Hurricane and a Komet for him to paint, all I can say is thank goodness for water based paints.
-
A bit more detail added to the bulwarks, nearly ready for 2 pack.

Nice detail Phil
Will you be building one for your self
Jason
-
You guys know me too well, I would like one if I have time and I think the wife wants one aswell, everytime I search for Damen stantug 1606 in google images I find another tug in a different set of colours that would look nice on my shelf.
-
Looking very nice :-))

That looks great , love to able to do that :-)) .
Please keep pictures coming.
-
Looking Good !! :-))

:-)) I always enjoy watching you work O0
Dave
-
Thanks guys, I'm pretty pleased with the way this ones looking, now for the tedious part...........15 or so coats of release wax, 2 part layup then cross my fingers I wind up with a useable mold, I haven't had too many issues in the past but then again I've never included this much detail before.
-
Just noticed that since receiving a coat of 2 pack that I can see all the ribs quite clearly.
Normally I would be quite happy with this as real ships are never smooth anyway, you can always see all the panels etc, but I plan to offer this hull for sale and worry it might been seen as a blemish........what are your thoughts? ( can be seen in the first of the three previous photos )
-
Morning Phil
I for one would love a hull with that type of detail :-)) [size=78%] just like a real working tug would look[/size] :-)) [size=78%] [/size]
Jason
-
Wow, Stunning work and detail.
Thanks for sharing.
-
I cant see the ribs on the pics but I would say your ribs are close enough together to look right. :-))
-
Waiting on resin and stuff so I've started work on the wheelhouse, this is just the first set of mdf templates, once I get it right in mdf I will do it in acrylic.

-
Looking very good Phil
Have you had time to do a hull
Jason
-
I have a small confession to make regarding the hull, I really didn't like the way the ribs were showing ( I know I know ) so I have started removing the foam and glassing the inside to make it right, the starved horse effect would have made it difficult when it comes to the cooling channels on the hulls exterior, shouldn't take too long to fix.

You may have noticed the reverse cycle air con unit in the last photo,

Good g@d Phil, you've even got the the manufacturers nameplate. You're the man for even the smallest detail. Btw, nice looking condenser unit.
-
Wonderful modelling Phil! :o
.... have you thought about seeking professional help?! ok2
-
Thanks Martin, possible undiagnosed obsessive compulsive you think? {-)
-
Is it wrong to dream about another man's laser cutter?
If the misses wake's me up one night and asks "Who the hell is Epilog?" , Phil will have a lot of explaing to do!
Awesome work and detail on your models! Looking forward to the next update.
Cheers
-
Im the same to be honest, toyed with the idea of getting one for a long time. Im into CAD stuff and not particularly good at making bits of wood fit together after freehand cutting.
I have the space for a laser cutter, the question really is what machine to buy.
Dan
-
Epilog are renown for their quality and service worldwide. definitely a major investment, it was either a second car or the laser, I still think we made the right choice, oh and my wife thinks I'm sick aswell
-
I had the idea of spending more on a machine which would enable me to do cutting for other folks, for a small fee of course.
Really really want a laser and I suppose prices can only reduce as time goes on.
Dan
-
Hi mermod boats looking good what you were saying about the coats of release wax that was how i used to do very slow and i found in the corners i started to get build up of wax but now i have gone onto a spray on release agent i dont noif you can get it over there tho.
Just to mention to guys talking about laser machines and want a comparison Mine is a laserite machine who are based in basildone uk
Keep up the good work mermod i no the feeling off trying to make everything perfect .
-
Wonderful modelling Phil! :o
.... have you thought about seeking professional help?! ok2
Down here when they are to far gone we put them out to pasture :o :o %) %) its the cheaper more humane option O0 O0
-
either that or send em to Tassie {-)
-
Mine is a laserite machine who are based in basildone uk
I hope you don't mean Basildon Essex :o
From the time I spent working there I hope they import their employees from elsewhere :}

Backfilled the engraving with some blue paint.

How's the tug doing Phil
Do you have a few more picture's for us :-))
Jason
-
nothing exciting yet, did the front escape hatch but that's about it, ordering the motors today, after talking to Nick75 I've decided on 2x 350kv turnigy motors...... oh and the props arrived but I cant seem to get down the workshop to take photos.
Phill
-
Not a lot to report but here's the nozzle and rudder ready for moulding.
-
and the first hull to be laid up into the mould, here we have the gel coat layer.
-
And just for reference this is the photo that the rudders and nozzles were based on.
-
One hull all laid up, hard to resist pulling it out but it needs a couple of days to harden up.
-
a lifering with engraved name and 6 anodes (sanding the dome on the anodes was torture on the fingertips)
-
Your work continues to amaze me :-)) .
Mark
-
First hull ;)
-
Started working out the deck today, once its correct I'll add the hatch and fittings positions with the laser.

Just a quick check to see how much weight I have to play with, believe it or not there are 2x 12volt 7amp gel cells in there.

Look's great Phil
:-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
will you be fitting it out with brushless
Jason
-
Yep, got four 350kv sk3 turnigy motors on the way paired with 40amp Hawk speedies.

The master for the mastmount in place and ready to mold.

-
What the previous pics don't show is a pair of rare earth magnets mounted in the base of the mast that snap it into place but allow it to fold for transport or if it gets a knock from someone that's "just looking"
-
and just for reference

beautiful work , beautiful workshop . So many toys :-) . Astounding work .
-
Thanks cjcj121 I'm really pleased with how it's turning out so far, as for the workshop, I wish it was just a little bit bigger.
-
Hi Mermod I have never seen a workshop that was big enough, we just seem to fill all available space, but I must say you have a lovely workshop. Mick B.
-
Thanks Mick, I really do appreciate a small workshop at the moment, my small woodheater is struggling to keep it toasty warm.
I finally got motivated (by all the rain dripping on my head) and made an awning over the door complete with solar sensor light, if I think to I will take a pic, mind you it only took about 15 years of standing in the rain looking for the key.
Phill
-
Jig to hold the nozzles and rudders in place.

Thanks Ken, certainly takes any guesswork out of it.
Oh and as promised here's a pic of the workshop.

As you can see it's a dreary old day down here in Tasmania, the rivers here on the northwest coast are on flood alert, I very nearly got the car bogged on the front lawn this morning.
-
A real Brick building, over here we build nearly everything out of wood & most of our sheds are made from one or another form of plastic, I can see the arch over the door would be handy when it rains. Mick B.
-
Very nice mermod.... %) ...is that a solar powered brass door bell?, or is it electrically driven from the wind turbine on the roof?......... {-) ...Derek

A plastic shed.....................Blasphemy, whats the world coming to.
-
What you can't quite see and what I get asked about the most are the 2 litre coke bottles full of water I have cut into the roof, believe it or not when the sunlight refracts through the water they equate to about a 40 watt light globe, great for those dark spots inside.
There's a couple of good clips on you tube, look for solar powered light globe.

Remember seeing them awhile back absolutely amazing results. :-)) :-))

Spent today making shafts and housings, 6mm shafts in phosphor bronze bushes, check out my nipples {-)
-
Motors have arrived, here's one next to a 550 brushed motor for comparison.
-
And when installed it all looks a bit like this.
-
Cool :-))
Mark
-
mermod.....do you soft solder the A frames to the prop shaft outer tube core? .....just that there appears to be heat colour on one of the verticals.......& so wondered if distortion of the tube could cause an issue.........Derek
-
VERY COOL :-)) :-))

I silver solder the A frame legs, I don't claim to be any sort of expert when it comes to soldering, what sort of problems can the discoloration cause? is it the pinky reddy bits that you mean ? the black bits seem to form from the blue flux around the solder sticks I use.
My "has it stuck" test is to give it a flick, you can usually hear if it hasn't worked.
Any advice when it comes to soldering is appreciated.
Oh, and the tubes on the A frames are separate to the actual stuffing box and its 1.5mm thick so no real issue there.
Thanks for watching
Phill

Well, It's been a while since my last post, had a very sick little girl to start with then I picked up a weird infection that the doctors cant find or explain, if it's not the illness its the drugs they throw at it, anyway spent a couple of days in the workshop and did a bit more on the Wattle.

You can double the niceness then O0
You can have company too; I have been strangely virused up for a few weeks.
I hope your return to the boaty bits signals you are recovering.

Thanks Dave, still fighting the urge for a nap in the afternoons but getting there slowly.
I must admit I was a bit annoyed when the first doctor told me on Friday that It couldn't be anything too serious then ended up at the a+e a few hours later where I was poked, prodded, injected and sent home with enough tablets to choke a horse.
good to be back in the workshop and back on mayhem that's for sure!

Keel cooling cut from 2mm ABS sheet, tried acrylic first but wasn't quite flexible enough to follow the hull contours.

First test of the finished deck, the rear hatch has a false top that holds on with rare earth magnets, underneath is a storm hatch that screws down onto a rubber seal.

Thats looking good :) Have you thought of a name/ prototype for it yet?

Thats looking good :) Have you thought of a name/ prototype for it yet?
This one is to be called the Wattle as per the original and mine will be called Big Stan, a bit of a play on the Damen StanTug and maybe a bit of a shout out to the movie Big Stan (very funny)
-
The tug in the port (Holyhead) is a Damen Stan Tug called the Saint David, always see it and fancy making a model of it some day :)
-
Any chance of a photo of that?

Close up of the tiller arms, first time I've been able to machine them from solid brass.

That's the shortest distance from the pivot point to the link arm pin I've ever seen.
Have you tested the amount of movement when connected to a servo ? It does look to me as if the rudder will turn very quickly for a greater distance but under a great strain on the servo motor.
Just a thought
Cheers
Ken
-
Thanks for your concern Ken, looks close I know but I use the same specs on many of my other models.
Rather than setting up a connecting linkage between tillers I simply use a port and starboard servo so each rudder has its own servo, leaves heaps of power for the swing.
Also If anyone is looking for a good source of linkages I got these from a Traxxas Revo monster truck
-
A bit more done. just a few coats of grey automotive primer.

St Davit, ex Valiant B is a stan tug 1906, one of the final built and certainly one of the more powerful ones around.

A big box of goodies turned up today.

I probably should explain my choice of radio and speedy, I find the Hitec transmitter to be one of the easiest to set up for tank style motor control. Normally most radios above 2 channel have one stick without a spring for aircraft throttle whereas I prefer to have both sticks return to centre for a boat model, so far the hitec optic 5 and 6 are the only ones I know of that already have the spring and arm in place so you only have to remove the ratchet thing and undo the spring tension.....easy no extra parts no trying to swap arms and springs.
As for the speedy, I sold a lot of these when I had my shop and never had an issue, I run them in my own boats and have found the amp rating to be correct, also they are an absolute pleasure to program using the separate programmer (following the beeps without the programmer is a pain with any brand )
-
Once again not a lot done, just some of the fiddly bits, various deck vents, exhausts, bulwark supports and the box for the firefighting pump.

Fantastic detail. Lovely work.
Will it be seen when the models completed? I did some wheelhouse detailing on earlier models but found it wasn't really visible (maybe lights would have helped) when displaying the model.
Haven't bothered since. However, your work may just get me going again.
-
Yes mermod........not just fantastic detail & lovely work........ you have also balanced the electrical loads near perfectly O0........merry Christmas.....Derek
-
Thanks dougal99, I don't usually go much on interior detail but being such a large scale with big clear windows it seemed wrong not to do it, plus I wanted to see how far I could go with the laser engraving.
Derek, thanks for the comment, most of the gauges on the real thing were centred with only a couple showing slight differences but by that stage I really couldn't be bothered changing the CAD files :) and merry Christmas to you both.

Thats certainly coming together nicely! Looking good :)

Load testing the completed hook, pictured is a 4litre tub of resin, later on I managed to hang 20kg of weight from it without breaking the castings but I did bend the brass pins.

Hi Jason, It's been a while, life's been pretty hectic lately' I have been doing a bit of work on my 14ft tug and I also started another model for this same client plus I'm studying CAD one day a week to get my formal qualifications which I'm finding a bit mindnumbing compared to what I can achieve with CorelDraw.
Phill

Mermod.......when we think of the scale of 1:20....depending on the glasses of red wine {-) I see two calculations
A. 4Kg (20*20) = 1600 Kg
B. 20Kg (20*20) = 8000 Kg....which has suffered material yield in shear >>:-(.....
These later two kg values would relate to bollard pull..........
From this I think the latter is pretty realistic...........
1. My only thought would be to replace the [Grade?] brass pins with AISI Grade 316 stainless material which has some 1.3 times the yield over the brass
2. Increase the pin sizing
Keep us posted with your progress......Derek

What glue you using to glue perspex to GRP?
( Motor bulkhead to hull)
Martin :-)

Hi Martin, It's a marine 2 part glue called megapoxy or epox-e-glue, sticks anything to everything and sets hard as a rock, if there's something you wouldn't ever think of glueing this stuff will do it.

Hull markings cut from .75mm styrene sheet.
How? Please.

Laser cut very slowly and on very low power, this one took 3 passes.

Mermod,
Is the megapoxy only available at Marine specialists or elsewhere???
-
It's available down here at "The Fibreglass Shop" in Hobart or from Boatcraft Pacific, both places have online shops, so yes only marine places.

Mr. Mermod, this is the Most amazing project, I am only now finding it ~
I will follow steadfastly, I am a Big fan of Damen craft and particularly the Stan Tugs.

Thanks for the reply Phil, I will diligently stay tuned ~
I've got a little MMM Stan made by a Good friend in the UK, but I wish the one you are crafting here was available in kit form !
Unprecedented detail, all the way down to the 3 dimensional hull markings...

Some lights, what a pain that was running the wires through the roof cavity to a common point.

Hi Phill, you should not upset us so early in the day with photos like that. Just first class all the way, thanks for sharing. Mick B.

Hi Phil,
Having just followed your build post from page 1 to this one I am lost for words to describe the first class quality of your work. The detail and skill involved is superb, I started boat building last February and due to very limited space (small wooden shed no mains power) I have to make everything by hand so when you see the detail and finish on your tug its just amazing! Well done keep it up.
Cheers,
Peter. :-))

The word is:
MasterClass !
Bristling detail, can't imagine how it's all getting dome in this short time ...

Todays checklist was.........Ladder and rack, Anchor, obscure red handles, recessed fuel cap thingies, front firebox and windscreen wipers, the anchor winch was also on that list but the one I made just didnt look right so I will do it over tomorrow, after that its time to connect a battery, trim servos, program esc's and build a battery tray and hopefully thats it :)

What an amazing amount of work, this final stretch looks like that of the last leg of a 25 mile marathon .............

Worse than that tim, I shut the workshop that night ready to finish it the next day but woke up with an awful saw throat that turned into hot sweats and uncontrollable shivering followed by headache and fatigue, doc thinks it's a strep throat infection but waiting to hear back.

E260 Acetic acid Acetic acid (ethanoic acid) has been used for hundreds of years
as a preservative (vinegar, French for "sour wine"). If during the fermentation of grapes or other fruits, oxygen is allowed into the container, then bacteria convert the ethanol present into ethanoic acid causing the wine to turn sour. Acetic acid may be synthetically produced using methanol carbonylation, acetaldehyde oxidation, or butane/naphtha oxidation. Pure acetic acid is termed "glacial", and is completely miscible with water. Typical products include fish fingers, butter, margarine, processed cheese, curry powder, cooking oil. Other names: ethanoic acid. Acetic acid is strongly corrosive and causes serious burns, as well as being a lachrymator

Well it's good news and bad news, doc rang up and no it's not strep throat, bad news is my 2yo daughter is just getting over chicken pox and today i find myself covered in big red pussey blotches, turns out you can get it twice :(
Phill
ps......I'm going back to bed now
-
Get well soon Phil.
Use lots of Dettol when typing your next post!

Amazing detail here, all the way down ot the lifeboat rack and it's hardware .....
-
Phill...words escape me with this build :-)) ...and hope the Garlic has helped {-)
In the latest images of your Wattle we see the STDB side running box light
In another thread yesterday on MBM we were discussing navigation lights and when we GOOGLE this we see that each of the running lights must be visible in a 112.5 degree arc
ie., from full FWD along the axis of the vessel thru 90 degrees and finally to 112.5 degrees on each respective side
Would the placement shown here provide the full vision FWD?...or would this be obstructed by the framework structure of the lifeboat canister?
A second point raised by JerryC was the box's surfaces are to be flat matt black
Just observations as I am not the rivet counter :o .. Derek

We seem to have lost a few post's in the crash, rather than re-hash I will just put up some pictures of the finished model, she was officially handed over at 8:00 this morning.

RAAArty, yep that's me, the local paper did a thing on us a couple of years ago when we still had our hobbyshop, the little plaque next to that is our Rotary club local small business of the year award.
