Just a few infos about my new project. I will build it for a friend in italy that was working on the Nuova Loredana. It was at the port of Rimini. Today the ship is named "Massimo Tanfa" and works from the port of Chiogga near Venice.
MP Nuova Loredana

And here are two of the pdf's I received from my friend. These are copies from the handdrawn original plans from the shipyard. They where in 1/50 scale and I had the enlarged and printed to a bigger scale of 1/25. Length of the model will be 116cms and 28cms wide. My friend has still access to the ship and sends me pictures from time to time.

And this is the same boat with a new name "Massimo Tanfa". It was made by the famous Cantiere Navale Ippolito in Santa Maria Di Castellabate. This shipyard is one of the best italian fishtrawler builders in italy!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/DSC_2644_zps82233171.jpg)
Over the next few weeks I will have to draw the bulkwards and all stuff that is not on the plans. Maybe I will try and contact the shipyard to ask for some more plans. Owner of the boat and shipyard are frineds of mine on the facebook.
So that all I can write about this new model.
PS: I will also finish the Cornelia Marie! But it is quite cold in the room I can work so if it gets too cald I can work on the new project and vice versa ....
-
What a nice looking trawler!! Good luck.

Apart from the stern lifting boom, she would easily pass as a working yaght

You can order a yacht that has nearly the same shape from the same shipyard ... Cantiere Navale Ippolito ... ok2

Day 1
After cleaning my workspace its time to do some drawings for the Nuova Loredana.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/F47FBBD6-4AD5-4A29-96DD-8B0DA79BA6EF_zpsa3e5stfg.jpg)
-
Day 2
Some more done with the drawings ... the ship was not built exactly like the drawings ... make it more complicated but I cn do it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A29B490B-A2E1-4FC3-9141-5BE2BFEA1E92_zpsovv9gfi5.jpg)
-
Day 3
Tried out different methods to fit the cardboard together without glue. This one on the picture works very well. The slots are made with my new Proxxon bandsaw. Cuts exactly the right sized slot. I will build up the hull in cardboard before I start cutting any plywood.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/C3747A2B-40AB-45B8-9482-5A1B397C0B1E_zpsbcrf0q7d.jpg)
-
Day 4
Numbering the sections 21 is the main section and 21a is not neccessary on all places.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/8058E7D9-E811-4399-8D9A-EC55E30007A1_zpsf7wtsiek.jpg)
Section 12 is 283mm large and 246mm height. eight is over all. At the end I have a cardbox 3D modell of the ship.

-
Day 5
3 sections added together to see if my idea works .... yes it does ... the sections will be cut into the right schape later.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/0B2AC22A-4A8D-42BE-BFD9-B76E9B5D5A9D_zpsvty7ezh1.jpg)

I like the way you are working - very neat and methodical O0
Hope your ideas work out good :-))

-
Wasn't too happy with the shape of the sections. Got some new pictures of the original and so I scrapped the whole stuff and started again.
Its much more like the original hull ...

Hi missyd, if it turns out even half as good as the cornelia it'll be fantastic. Looking forward to watching the rest of the build....... U2
-
Hello Danielle, I was just about to say the same thing as U2, but he beat me to it ! I like your idea of building a mockup in cardboard, very meticulous, do you get the nice flat sheets of cardboard fom an artshop ?
Looking forward to another entertaining account of building another fine model :-)) O0
Mike
ps All I got for your initial photos was a young cat and "pictures not found" did anyone else manage to see them ?
-
Mike, the cat you saw appears when you post a photo from photobucket and then change which folder the photo is in in your photobucket account. It happened to me, the only way to get them back is to re post them. It changes the link details.
I think if you ask missyd she will be able to tell you how or where to view them...... U2
-
Thanks for that U2, I can give it a miss rather than putting Danielle through the bother. I'm sure the forthcoming coverage will more than make up for them. O0
Mike

The 2 missing pictures where removed by myself .... they showed the original construction drawings from the ship owner .... cancelled them on owners request. ok2
-
After some headscratching I decided to draw the sections on paper ... more will be posted soon.
-
First 8 sections are on paper .... I like drawing on paper .... never ever will I draw with the help of CAD on a PC.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/60292208-9937-4F2C-907F-FC951084932C_zpsfn7qrqdw.jpg)
-
Wow !
That's a skill in itself - might try that myself... :-))
Regards,
Ray.
-
I admire your persistence. I now draw all my hulls on PC. After the initial learning curve, it is much quicker and more accurate than I can do by hand. You only need to draw 1 side of the rib and then mirror it. Also very easy to make changes.
Steve
-
Cad is not easy to learn from scratch and views are limited to the screen monitor size which in my view is a severe handicap. Drawing half frames on tracing paper are also easily flipped to give reversed images which can be traced through to produce whole sections or frames. Missyd already has various plans of the boat ready for use. The frame drawings are ready to transfer to timber when construction starts. Ultimately an accurate side elevation plan will give the correct height relationships of the frames to create the correct overall keel and deck outine shapes.I am enjoying the thread and watching the project take shape.
-
I always draw on paper too, I just like creating a drawing that you can unroll and show people what you drew and then the product that came from it.
I really do appreciate the skill involved with CAD though and if it was available to me some years ago then I might have taken it up, but I'll stick to drawing for now....... U2
-
I did learn some CAD back in the ninties, but being the usual know it all teenager/just twenty something, I beleived that it would not have much effect on the small design/model making business.
Wrong! I do wish I had kept it up and would probably use it in my new hobby today, but I do like a roll of plans and there is something comforting about the pencil and a good eraser. I can certainly see the pros of drawing on a 'pooter' but think that a larger screen would be beneficial.
-
The building starts ....
9mm plywood

the sections copied and cut out ...

and two sections cut out with my new proxxon bandsaw wich does the job very well.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/C9DF304E-4254-4B73-8067-E74D8C94F43A_zpsq2sylpvb.jpg)

-
I love the smell of birch ply! Your frames look pretty good Missy!
-
Hullo Danielle...............if that's the straight cut line & surface you get from the Proxxon band saw it must be worth its weight in gold :kiss:...do you use the standard 14 TPI blade, or the flame hardened shorter length version?.....especially to attain those inner radius surfaces so cleanly
They are about $500.00 in Australia >>:-(............. Derek
-
Thanls a lot ! I use the original blage that was already with the bandsaw. Its very fine and the cuts cleaner as with any saw I used in the past. The price is quite expensive even here in switzerland.
-
Danielle,
I hope that is not BLOOD in your photo of the plywood!
Tom
-
Tom ... I cut my ex-mother-in-law into little pieces .... JUST JOKING!
No blood sofar .... its a sticker on the bandsaw .... :-))
-
Some more work done .... hope you like it! ok2

Ah, I spot a bowl of diet chips/French Fries in the 2nd photo up {-).
I like to see an economical us of material ( your cutting out of the Ply frames ).
I will be following this build as I did your previous one.
Kind Regards,
Len.
-
I do like to see plywood and love the smell. Those frames are very tidy and smoothly shaped Danielle.
Top job. I look forward to see more progress soon.
-
mmmmmmmmmmmm not sure the pussycat would like the....."chips/French Fries in the 2nd photo up {-)"......Derek
-
For some reason I missed this thread when you started it Danielle but it looks like another cracking build - I'll be watching again :-)) Good luck with it :-) :-)
-
thanks a lot Mark :-))
Some more work done. fitted the prop-axle to see if I had drilled the holes at the right places. All where spot-on!!!

That is an interesting selection of motors and fittings Danielle. The hull scantlings are really sarting to look good.
-
Thanks a lot .... 2h work today ... I build the hull in sections. Rear section is finished. Middle one is 1/3 finished ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/EBAAB271-C7DA-4919-97D4-49A3DCD204B1_zpseqoj5b2o.jpg)

Well.......that appears to be an extremely robust hull frame construction Danielle :o.......have you weighed all of the frames?
As a general question, I wonder what type of adhesive the manufacturers use on these types of laminations?, which are also appearing increasingly now also in complex V W V male & female grooves [finger] joints in wood that is destined for external surfaces in [expensive] semi-modern furniture
Derek
-
No I didn't put the frames on a scale sofar .... there are more frames than on the FV Cornelia Marie which has a empty hull weight of 7-8kg

new pics of todays work...

Nice carpentry there Danielle - Its looking great :-))
-
Thanks a lot Mark! :-))
As I hadn't designed the bow sofar I decided to make one in 3D out of insulation material and then cut it into slices to get the right shape of the front sections. 1 Week of dirty work and the bow is ready to be sliced ....
Any knife or cutter can be used ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/CEF6CA31-7A1E-4ABF-B72F-FA7915EEB309_zpskjr8iakh.jpg)
After the first shaping session without even looking at the pictures of the bow ....

-
HI Danielle, the foam blocks do make shaping the bow form so easy, are you covering with glass cloth???
Mark
-
Hi Mark. Actually no. I have cut everything into slices so that I can use them to finish the drawings .... The Hull will be made of plywood as usual .... ok2
-
Does that mean you are putting formers into the bow area then planks????
Mark
-
Yes I will exactly do that. Maybe even 10x2mm planks and the a 0.8mm plywood cover over it ....
-
Your close frame style of build reminds me of the scantlings of wooden warships with their frames close together. Very attractive. It is a shame to cover them up!
-
After slicing the 3D model I drew all the sections .... best idea I had for ages! It makes drawing the hull very easy.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/DB9DD8BB-02D8-47B8-8831-A3754D173960_zpsjnhjpz4d.jpg)
... and cut out the section out of 9mm plywood.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/C4990355-0788-4508-B1EB-E21C29D0D7FE_zpsikidmpvn.jpg)
-
Danielle...why do you use 'numeric/alfa' coding sequences for the frames?........23>23A>24>24A etc... when each appears to be of equal length spacing.....
It doesn't confuse me :o, are the builders original plans drawn & coded this way?
Derek
-
Derek ... I had planned to have one frame every 40mm ... so I wrote the numbers on the original drawings. Then I changed my mind and went for 20mm space per frame and didn't want to delete the numbers on the drawing .... therefore the frames are numbered -1, 0, 0A, 1, 1A, 2 etc ......
-
When I built 'Lena' I ended up doing something similar as also didn't want to alter my drawing. In the aircraft industry they do the same when they build a longer version of the same aircraft.
Looking good missy but after seeing how good the last one was I've come to expect quality from you. Well done, I'm following with interest. U2
-
Thanks a lot :-))
Some more work ist done .... in a few days the hull will be ready for planking.
Hull is sanded ...

As I forget totally that I had to have space for the motor I had to make space for it ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/65EEBDC1-B066-492F-A6EC-1062DC0D2E88_zpshl2u29bj.jpg)
And the second half of the hull is getting together ....

Finished glueing the sections together!
I put the hull together with the help of some clamps .... hope you like it.

Danielle that looks epic!!! Trouble is now you are going to have to make it look as good inside as out to show off your carpentry skills. Keep the pics coming!
-
Now you are teasing us Danielle, with that Large Mechanical Shovel in the back ground, is that Scratch built?.
Len.
-
Danielle, your framing is superb, both fit and shape, almost a pity to plank the hull.
Mark

Thanks a lot to all of you!!! I'll do my best to keep you happy .... ok2
The large shovel in the background is a Lego Technic Set .... assembled by my wife Anita. :kiss:

Some more work done .... I let the pics speak for themselves .... any question will be answered asap ....

Danielle, I'm no expert but is there any chance that 1 and 2 in the first pic and A and B in the second are actually the same colours but just affected by one surface being in the shade and therefore looking darker?
1 and 2 do look a little different but A and B look quite similar to the untrained eye! ;)
Just a thought........it's looking awesome by the way, U2
-
missyd.......I tend to agree with U2.....& think the dockyard would have ordered 20 litre drums of blue, 20 litre drums of white & 20 litre drums of rust coloured anti fouling??
A bit difficult to take the ship to the paint shop, but that fisherman's washing would be an easy match %)...... Derek
-
1, 2 & A are the same color dark blue. Affected by sunlight they look like 3 different blues. B is a light blue. This was confirmed by the builder of the ship.
Anti fouling color changes its color as soon as it gets wet .... :-))
-
Some more work done .... hope you like it.

Danielle, The planking is as usual superb, with the heavy ply ribs, the strenght of the hull will be phenominal, please dont fall into the underpower trap as you did on Cornilia, what glue have you used on the planking???

Thanks a lot Mark. Planking is 10x3 pine. Glued to the ribs by normal wood glue ... but the fast binds in 20 minutes version .... ok2

Very nice, good shape and the formers look to be very strong
Mark
-
I have to agree the new stern looks great - Nice work Danielle :-))
-
Amen Danielle. It looks great.
-
Danielle.....I have gone back to the first posting in this thread and there are very few images of the stern of the Nuova Lorendana or her sister trawler on the WEB
I did manage to find the following [sister] image which depicts the angular stern...& possibly some curvature
Your revision to the stern geometry curvature looks fine over the original flat plane @ approx. 15 degrees......did your build plans not depict this curvature?
Derek
-
Thanks a lot to you all! I had the curvature and everything on the plans but simply forgot to make it right.
The picture posted by Derek is the Massimo Tanfa .... ex-Nuova Loredana ....
I think this projecct is stretching my abilities a lot abd therefore I made mistakes (there are a lot!) that I can't correct anymore ....
I'll do my best to make a beautiful model.
-
Don't worry Danielle as your work so far looks crisp and shapely. I bought a tug boat second hand and the hull is not symetrical, but out on the water it looks perfect.
There are perfect models out there but we have to make some compromises to get a working model that looks pretty good, so carry on doing what you are doing and think about those crab pots you made! They were pretty good on their own.
-
Thanks a lot for your kind words your right .... if it looks right its alright .... I wont give up but I may need longer to finish it.
New stern is 95% finished. Just have it fillered after I took the pics.

Nice! Its almost worth leaving in natural wood and giving the stern a good varnishing :-))

...and now, the card gives us a good indication of cut-outs. Much better than wasting wood should things be out of line. No doubt, once happy with the shaped card, this will be used as templates for the final fitting ?
Regards,
Ray.

Thanks Ray! No I wont use them as templates but I use them as plan.

Thanks a lot.
No I do not have a deadline .... I am jobless for the second time this year ... plenty of time each day to work on the model!
And I have another nice trawler waiting to be built .... ok2

Sorry to hear about your job, hope that is cured quickly, but you are moving along with the build, BRILLIANT

Having crushed my kort nozzle last weekend driving home I am inspired by your reinforcement of the ruddeg area to use your approach when doing the repair work.
Lovely work as usual and I echo previous comenst and hope you find another job shortly.

Thanks a lot! Had an interview today for a job .... lets see if its something for me.
Opened up the hole for the bow truster.

Not shure if I should use a working bow truster or not ... there is very little space for it ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/F270BD9F-FDEE-4041-AACE-6653960B6055_zpsoogmbxbz.jpg)
-
Hm. As you have made the holes you may as well fit one. The hull is good and stout and you can always reinforce the area surrounding the thruster.
Good luck with getting the job!
-
:-)) Thank you very much ...
I opened up the section where the bow truster will be .... I may use a waterpump with two pipes at an 90° angle in the bowtube instead of a propeller driven bow truster. Pump aspires water at the right and blowing it to the left and vice versa .... I'll go to my model shop tomorrow to see what I can buy ...

Interesting choice, please tell us how it goes. I've had similar thoughts regarding bow thrusters and I know many have done this. Easier to place and replace when needed. My concern is only to find the correct pump. I've had my eyes on a "Kavan fuel pump", made for airplane modellers and works both ways. I have a pump from Conrad that I intend to test in a boat eventually.
Very nice build by the way!
Hama
-
Another possibility is to use a full size bilge pump, they do come in small sizes, a lot are shown on ebay, a lot cheaper than model bow thrusters, just make sure that the motor and impellers can run in reverse.
Mark

As part of your research and prep for this plan. Have a look at how Bob K modified his pump system after Polyphemus suffered pipe/joint failure last year so that you can make your system as watertight as possible to prevent filling your hull with water at an impressive but annoying rate.
It is in the Warships section and was updated recently so should be on the first page.
-
I had a good look at the topic with the pump .... as the Cornelia Marie had a waterpump in the beginning I am quiet used to make everything watertight.
Just bought this pump ---> http://www.kavanrc.com/cgi-bin/dpsmart.exe/GMainMenuFV6.html?E+Kav (http://www.kavanrc.com/cgi-bin/dpsmart.exe/GMainMenuFV6.html?E+Kav)
... and many other things for building the boat.
-
Isn't it great when you can have a splurge on your interest! I am glad that you have the pump and its systems sorted and wish you well with instaling it all.
-
Biggest part the tube is ready ... its a 1" brass pipe ... we have a shop nearby who sells such things... it was my wifes idea!

Yessss! I build my model sturdy and as heavy as possible! No flimsy plastic hull! Just like the real thing! ok2

Can't link it directly .... it is a fuel pump intended for RC-planes ... one of the only that work in both directions ....

Nearly finished ... I still have to solder the protection bars on the openings ...

That looks great, will you have enough water flow to be effective? I assume it will suck from 1 side and blow to the other
Mark

Thanks a lot Mark. Yes one in the other side out and vice versa. The pump has 1.8L/min ... there is no stronger pump on the RC market ... I'll try it out in the next few days before I fix it into the hull.
-
1.8 L/minute is not a great flow Danielle.....but for assistance with docking will be OK :-))
Just be sure to fully epoxy or solder the internal central dividing intermediate isolation disk between the suction & delivery sides %)

.... there is no Divider between the tubes ... impossible to fit one ... left tube is 90° and goes to the right near the opening and vice versa .... the 90° tubes (like an elbow) are crossed in the middle ....

Hi Danielle
With a boat has big as yours and the weight . You might fine you are not moving enough water to turn the boat . Have a look in non modelling areas. You can get Caravan fresh water pump 12v that will shift 5L per min.
Your in take might all so be restrictive . One option might be X2 pumps . they suck water in from under the flat of the hull near the keel and exit via the bow thruster .X1 for port X1 for starboard .

Thanks a lot for all informations!
OK folks ... after some thinking I will redo everything and build another bow truster ....
-
Could you please test the pump in a watercontainer and check performance?
Im quite interested myself!
All the best.
Hama
-
I did test the pump today with 12V ... I think it should be enough to help with "parking in" the model ... BUT in windy or situations with a lot of water current it won't help much ... can tell it only after the hull is in the water...

Wow that looks a mean piece of brass work, hope its got the power you need for a heavy hull
-
I think the pump may be a little bit weak but the original has a bow truster and I wanted to hae one too without paying a fortune for one you can buy in a model shop ...
-
Have you looked on ebay for a bilge pump, some of the guys over here have used small ones to great effect and they are a lot less than model type pumps, the hull is way big enough for it to fit
-

Bilge Pumps seem to all be submersed in water, do they do one with in and out hose connections ?.
-
Yes they are if you get the self priming type
-
I like seeing a good bit of brass work on a model, it adds something good and traditional!
-
Thanks a lot to you all ... I leave it as it is ... the model can't cost much as I have a limited Budget of 800 Euros including the RC.
-
Hello!
Thanks for the video! I'm definitely gonna try a similar solution. One benefit is that it's a lot easier to replace the motor(pump) if it breaks or is too weak.

You're right ... I always use 9 and 6mm plywood of the highest grade. It can be cut, drilled and milled without problems ... and is sturdy and heavy.

It reminds me more and more of a real sized wooden man o' war with the ship builders use of several layers of timber including unusual shaped pieces. Final finish aside. the wood work on this model is very attractive.
-
Talking of weight, the CM sail very well in choppy water, this should be just as good
Mark

I hope she will be fine in the water ..... never buit such a hull before. The CMs bathtub shape had to float well. I will put er into water in a few days!

I see the benefits of your stout frames Danielle as they make the structure strong even when cutting holes in the sides. There is less risk of planks pinging out of place.
Tidy carpentry :-))

Launching of the boat. Couldn't resist today ... time to get the hull into water.
With 7-8kg lead inside it floats very goodd and stable.

Thanks a lot you two!!! :-))
Some pictures in daylight ... I like the red a lot ... its Flame Red RAL3000 mixed with a little bit of Gentian Blue RAL5010. Inside of the hulle is painted with Oyster White RAL1013.

Bad news .... in cold water and cold weather less than 15°C (its cold at the moment outside) the hull changes a lot .... the planks started to get longer and wider. In warm conditions the hull turns back to normal. I think in the future the paint will crack and water goes into the planks. Any ideas how I can safe the hull?

Danielle
Clearly the images of the hull in the [bath] water show that the inner surfaces are unpainted
The air temperature of 15 degrees C is the ambient, the water would have been the same temperature
If the outer RED paint was cured sufficiently would suggest that moisture had entered the wood from the inside
Natural moisture content of wood is in the order of 12%....however you now appear to have sealed the internal hull surfaces
If this is the case, you may need to sand & remove the outer hull paint and let the wood return to it's natural moisture state prior to any further painting
It may also pay dividends to apply a Z-Poxy or polyurethane type surface to fully waterproof the internals prior to any further work
Derek
-
Hi Danielle, i concure with Derek, also allow about a week for the wood to dry, if you can in the lounge so there is some warmth without much moisture in the air. When dried out seal the inside of the hull with Layup resin, or Zpoxy but this is expensive, this is quile thin apply between the ribs and roll the hull to coat all the internal structure, including the ribs themselves, the wood should absorb some of the resin if it is thin enough, when it has set (24 hours ish) coat the outer hull with model aircraft light weight glass cloth, again with the resin and a couple of coats to get a smooth finish, remember most paint these days is not waterproof, the resin will seal the wood and give you a smooth sanded surface to apply the finishing colour. If you need contact emails for the Glass Cloth i can send details of suppliers who do mail order.
Mark
-
Thanks a lot for the informations ... I will sand the hull today and then think about what I will do next. Haven't decided yet. I hate epoxy/polyethrane and any nasty smelling things because I am allergic to it....
-
No worries Danielle, lay up or Zpoxy dont smell too bad but you do need good ventilation, have you tried a good mask? i use a 3m mask with particle filters
Mark
-
I never used masks sofar .... I will give a try in sanding the hull and paint it new. The inside was painted saturday. Maybe it will be ok. If not I'll do something else.
Sanded everything to a smooth surface and gave it a new thin coat of paint afterwards... the whit patches show the problem zones ... much less as I thought.

There is a product called Eze-kote, waterbased 1-part epoxy substitute. Perhaps someone here have tried it? I haven't but would like to.
Just a thought.
Hama
-
I've just put eze Kote on my fairmount hull with a layer of cloth . It's have it a glass like finish but haven't painted hull yet or tried it in water but been told it's same result as epoxy
-
Re-painted the hull red and it looks as the deformations have stopped.
Today I prepared my new toy ... its a Profiform 320 machine. It cut and bends alu, steel, brass, copper up to 1 mm. Costs a forunte but works just fine!

I also started to make the rudder. The rudder will be detachable from its axle.

Awesome machine Dannielle! I nearly bought one a few years back and probably would have used it a dozen times in a decade but it will revolutionise your model engineering potential.
I can see you making live steam boilers and the like now 8)

Some more work done to the rudder ...
Soldered together...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/61052AEA-E69D-4099-A481-7D57A9BE2D9A_zpsbvq196ee.jpg)
Added the lower axle ...

The konical shap holds the rudder in place but it also helps whe I want to detach it from the main axle .... I'll explain that later ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/672FA469-E6E3-4FD6-A2BC-E4B67928E288_zps3n1a5u1c.jpg)
And then I could try it out on the hull ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/7CC5200C-2D2A-46F4-9F76-2C445F7A340D_zps3luo6jsk.jpg)
The ribs 5 of them each side will be added next week ....

Excellent Danielle. You are as good whittling metal as your are wood :-)) Re Locomotive boilers, these were used in early steam powered vessels until specific marine boilers and the like came into use, so you could combine a locomotive boiler with a vintage ship!
-
No I wouldn't do a steam ship .... its not my favorite kind of model. But a steam loco or tractor would be much fun!
I nearly finished the ruder today ... quite difficult to solder everything on. Next step will be the connection to the ruder axle which has to be detachable.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/0870B0C9-1F85-41C3-A8E6-8FEBC2F41DB1_zpsulv767om.jpg)

Lovely work Danielle. I like the ribbage:O)
-
Nice work on the rudder, bet there were a few swear words and scorched fingers LOL. The hull seems to have stabilized again, few. nice paint finish re-applied
-
You can be justifiably proud of that effort on the rudder - really smart looking, that is. O0
Regards,
Ray.
-
Thanks a lot you two!!!! :-))
I said a few beeeeep words but no scorched fingers ... I used a wet towel around the ruder all the time.
The connection to the axle is made with a simple hex screw ... no fancy solution but it works just fine. The washers should simulate the connection system used on the origial ship.

And to finish the day I filled the hull with 2kg of iron pellets. I need some 6-8 kg ballast to get the hull down to the waterline. As I don't know how heavy the superstructure will be I fitted these 2kg ballast.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/9AFC2073-FF16-4005-A40A-6AACB765BD3F_zps88rhyam0.jpg)
-
Excellent. I wondered what had happened to your hull for a second. It looked like a load of wood dust and was expecting a comment to such.
Limiting the quantity of ballast will help you keep it a bit lighter for moving it, good idea :-))
-
It is coming on nicely.
Len.
-
Thanks a lot you two ... I used 3kg ballast sofar. I may need another 3-5kg to get the hull deep enough into the water.
I wasn't happy with the quality of the hull color so I redid everything ...
Color samples I mixed ... the upper left one (ROST+...) was used.

I like it. The colour you have made is quite like red oxide primer but not too drab.

I just added some black and cherry red to the original paint (rust).
Now I started to paint the hull dark blue. Bought a lot of different colors till I got the right one!
I paint only part of the hull at the moment. because later I can't turn it upside down anymore. So I'll finish the paintwork before I build the rest of the boat.

Very clean water line, which masking tape did you use??. Also did you clear coat the tape to stop any creep under???
Mark
-
Thanks a lot Mark.
I used normal masking tape to masl windowns etc from 3M (BTW I only buy 3M masking tape). Not ideal for the stripe but it came out ok. Had to repaint some of the imperfections.
Masking tape is not as good as the small special tape used to spraypaint cars ets .... but the glue from the professional small masking tape damages the paint a lot (it did on the CM).
I did not clear coat the tape. Nothing goes through it.
-
Thanks for that Danielle, i use 3m as well, cheep gives a cheep job, try tamiya tape for the fine lines, it does compound curves and does not damage the underlying paint, but it is expensive.
Mark
-
MMM smooth! Great work on the painting and looking forward to the next part of the project:O)
-
Thanks a lot my friends!!!
Today I added the rudder to its shaft/sprocket combination.
Fixed the hull to my small wheeled workcabinet.
In the end I did a cardboard deck to design where what equipment will go. As you know I do not have plans of the original deck attangements.

Hullo Danielle....I see you have again used that link chain & plastic sprockets for the rudder drive again......I think it is a great solution :-))
With the 1:1 ratio.....your Hitec HS325HB servo could throw the substantial rudder from full hard over 110 degrees in ~~0.4 seconds....and for realistic operation you need a steady hand so no not to provide unrealistic rudder movement. From this it appears you have two options that you could consider
1. Increase the diameter of the driven sprocket to provide ~~ 3:1 reduction ratio [sufficient space appears for this diameter] however this would still provide a rudder movement of ~~ 1.2 seconds......
2. The second option could be to install an ACTion P96 servo morph.......these are excellent devices and their reputation speaks volumes for their functionality......you could increase the rudder throw from 110 degrees to ~~ 175 degrees or so, and set the rudder moment speed to a realistic scale
Derek

Hi Derek ... you're right. I'll leave it as it is .... did it the same way with the Cornelia Marie. Never had any problems with it. You have to steer gently and everything is fine!
More work done ....
Dummy placement of the things ... I can see the net winch, exhaust pipes, staircase to lower/upper deck.

A lot of things done the last two days ... thank god its friday and I will not work til monday ...
Fitted the Controllers ... left one for the prop motor and right one for the bow truster pump.

Finished the deck ... which will be covered with nice wood later ... what kind of wood would you suggest to buy for this job. The original has greyish/brown color and was clearcoated once.

Us model ship builders don't use enough chain in our builds (apart from visual anchor chains etc). It is good to see you using some on your rudder system.
Re Nice decking, have a look at what that exceptionally skilled Australian has done on his fishing boats, it is usually mouthwateringly good.
-
I like the chain for the rudder ... no fiddling and adjusting ...
Decking isn't the final one ... I will cover everything with some smaller and shorter planks ...
-
Monday and another week ahead which I hope to use to get the Nuova Lorendana a step forward finishing it.
Some planking done ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/0D5B93E0-B0CA-4AE4-8547-AF7CCB4B6547_zpskxx1vgxu.jpg)

Very neat and solid looking work - she's coming along nicely Danielle. :-)

I bet the model smells great with all that pine inside it! Excellent progress Danielle.

Actually it smells a little bit from the pine .... ok2
More work done ... I have to finish everything on the deck before I can put the "roof" on ...

Amen Ray, that is one great project. I do like these touches of detail. I hope we will be able to see them when the ship is complete?

There's something very realistic about the way you have your timbers stacked! Lovely work Danielle.

Thanks you very much Mark :-))
Now its time to finish the bow .... !
I have to say that with the extension on the bow the hull is starting to look like the Nuova Loredana!!!
Used paper to make it and will use very thin and flexible plywood to fabricate it.

I can see now just how much work has gone into producing the flared bow - a beautiful job, well done. :-))
Regards,
Ray.

Too right :-)) On a non related subject for curiosity sake. In the UK we have a supermarket chain called the 'Cooperative' and I see you have some boxes with 'COOP' on them. Do you also have the 'Coop' where you live? I don't want to be nosey about the boxes content as that is your business.
Lovely work Danielle.

Thanks a lot! Always doing my best to keep you updated with pics!!!!
Coop isn't the same as Cooperative in the UK. They have no buisness relations together. Coop is one of the two food and DoItYourself giants ins Switzerland ....

Hi Danielle
With a boat has big as yours and the weight . You might fine you are not moving enough water to turn the boat . Have a look in non modelling areas. You can get Caravan fresh water pump 12v that will shift 5L per min.
Your in take might all so be restrictive . One option might be X2 pumps . they suck water in from under the flat of the hull near the keel and exit via the bow thruster .X1 for port X1 for starboard .

Sorry to but in on this great build but I have a 19 foot long Bulk Carrier and my home made bow Thruster broke at the weekend and I am now thinking about replacing with 1 or 2 pumps, I have found these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-Electric-Solar-Brushless-Motor-Water-Pump-Aquarium-Fountain-1000L-H-New-/291408615748 what are your thoughts please, they give 160lts per minute?. Again, sorry to but in.
Len.
-
Powerful pump! But it works only in one way I think. Might work well but I have no experience with bow trusters.
I must admit that I wouldn't use the pump bow truster again. To complicated to build. I wish I hadn't built this feature in my ship.
-
Very powerfull pump, you could use 2 one to port and one to starboard, with such a big model you would have plenty of space for the plumbing
Mark

Len.....~~16 litres per minute ...not 160 %) ..... Derek

Started with the second part of the deck ... only to stop again and doing something else ... %)

Oops, well spotted.Very powerfull pump, you could use 2 one to port and one to starboard, with such a big model you would have plenty of space for the plumbing
Mark
That was what I was thinking of doing.
-
You've done lovely work on those braces Danielle! Not one wrong angle seen :-))
-
Hi Danielle, in the second photo there is a blue line between the deck and the bow, is this a sealer or just a glue line???
Mark
-
...and I like the way you have incorporated the wires into the forward central bracing - very neat. :-)
Regards,
Ray.
-
Thanks a lot to you all! :-))
The wires are incorporated the same on the original .... ok2
The blue line is from the pen I used to mark the plywood. I used no sealer. I always use simple fast bonding white wood glue.
-
Simple when you know the answer!!!! the build is well up to your superb standards
Mark
-
Thanks a lot Mark!
<:( <:( my Dremel 3100 drill decided to quit working ... R.I.P.
I may buy a Proxxon 230V drill ... I think they have the better quality.
I could finish the work with the help from another Dremel 3100 I had in stock.

I have always found making ovoid openings tidy to be one of the most difficult tasks. Yours look very tidy :-)) Sorry to hear of your loss Danielle, an old reliable tool becomes an irreplacable friend. You know what it can do and how to get the best out of it. The crud in the grips is testament to many hours of use making and creating with it.
I have a triangular needle file bought in what was then (1990) a cheap set at about a tenner and I broke the tip off, but only a little, leaving what became my favourite line scribing tool. If I or anyone breaks that, I will go stark mental as I cannot get another like it:O( Everyone sells ones that have a noticable drop to the tip whereas my old one has a continuous gentle slope to the end:O)
Sorry, back to the M/P Nuova Loredana.

Thanks a lot. My new Proxxon will hopefully live longer than the old one.
After a week holidays in the Dolomites (Italy) I'm back at work.

Hi Danielle,
I just started reading your building blog of the Nuova Loredana. Incredible, this is model boat building at it's best.
I am looking forward to your next posts.

Thanks a lot you two!!!!! :-))
Working on the doors and openings as fast as I can .... maybe I will find very small hinges so that all openings to the left and right can be opened.

The heavy door to a smaller cold storage room for fish .... actually it may weight up to 100g when finished ...

You can make the hinges from thin brass tube, rod and brass sheet. The fewer 'knuckles' you have in the barrel of your hinge, the easier they are to make, but three - five knuckle hinges can be made if you are accurate with your filing:o)
Excellent work so far Danielle. I love the refrigerator door!
-
Thanks a lot!!! :-))
I did find some small hinges in my hobby store .... not shure if they will work. We'll see next week.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/DE925FB3-9FF4-4299-8BA2-3A5BA5B3C2C7_zpsj2jz1n3v.jpg)
PS: if they do not work as wished I will make them myself!
-
The triangle ones look more like bulkhead hinges, but might need filing straighter, as though they were welded to the bulkhead
Mark

The won't be really visible from the outside .... ok2
Off we go ... redone the covers for the openings ...

I see what you are doing now! I saw your brackets pictured yesterday and wondered if you were going to use hinges assuming the brackets were infact hinges part built! Brillinant work.

Doors are finished and ready to be glued to the openings. Color has to dry first. ok2

Sadly its true ... I wont put in too many details in front of the deck. There will be a nice netwinch. At the rear I may add more details in the next weeks.

Those doors really look the part. I love the look of the hull now you are getting the superstructure underway, it is starting to look brilliant.

That's a clever idea, one that I shall adapt in my future scratchbuilds. O0

This is what we would refer to as the "gantry". :-))

Thanks a lot!!!!! :-))
Instead of building the gantry I did some detailing on deck.
First my building plan as usual ... all measurement have been taken directly from the model ... ok2
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/9104C66E-D2F7-4A97-B4A7-9F0F33CCE45B_zpsnqnxkyzh.jpg)
All parts are built and nearly finished. As you can see I also glued the window hatches in place.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/EAB356DE-DC63-4444-8DFE-86159946214A_zpsizllceqe.jpg)
The color could dry in the lunchbreak. Afterwards I could glue everything in place.

When I was finished I looked at my drawing and WoW!!! I forgot the sorting table!!!!! Ok built that in 20mins with some 1mm plywood and pained it with silver color.

I see what the funny shaped hinges are for now, seeing the door in place now explains them! It is good to see your workings out! By the way, did you try and emulate what Ken did but on one of your fingers Danielle? Look after yourself.

:-))
I cut my finger as I was cutting potatoes in the kitchen with a nice very sharp knife from Victorinox .... ok2

Off we go with the gantry.
Wood is needed to cut and get all pieces to the same shape ....

Danielle......I can only find one [1] image on your build thread here on MBM....[have gone back to page 1 on 05.12.2103........no images]
Were all of the other images hosted from a 3rd party site & linked to MBM?
If so, their server may be non functional today

Is there any good other Photoserver on the net?

All pictures back in the forum ...!
4h of work today ... got the gantry nearly finished. I had to add the wires for the 5 LEDs. No way to get them into the gantry later.
The gantry seems alittle bit crooked in the foto ... its not in its final shape.

Thanks a lot!!! The gantry sometimes are huge!!! I think some of the boats have buoyancy problems as the boats itself weren't built with such gantries. Some boats have no gantry at all. They use a smaller hydraulic crane like the ones on trucks. For me it makes sanse to get rid of these ugly gantries. Remeber in the 60/70tie whe the trawlers had e mast and its crane instead of the gantry. In the 80ties all boats where refitted with the gantry which I disliked totally. Therefore lost interest in Fishtrawlers for some time. After the year 2000 I restaeted visiting Italy and the old love of fishtrawlers turned back. But I still miss the old boats of the 60/70ties!
Digit is back to normal again. :-))
-
Danielle that really is looking great - lovely work as per usual :-))
-
I am learning a lot about the world's fishing fleet from you! I assumed that different vessels had different outfits for different catches.
For me the sixties is a groovy hippie decade that my parents go misty eyed about :}
-
There are a lot of different outfits for different fishing ... maybe I should open another tread about that or a tred about italian fishing boats.
-
A place where members interested in fishing vessels can add images etc if there isn't already such a page!
-
I'll think about a new tread with fishing boats later ...
More work done at the gantry ... main structure is finished. I did everything with greatest care to get the best possible result.
For easier work I screwed the two main part to a piece of wood. Without this I could not have assembled it.

Well, that looks good so far.
Had to do the same when I rigged the twin funnels and horizontal support on my Tug. It was easier than trying to rig up on the model itself. :-))

Built the service plattform on the gantry today ... the railings should have been made of copper wire but I thought that on such a safe place some ABS rods will do the job. And it was a lot faster to do it!!!

Now you have it assembled you can see how big it is even as just a model! You have done a great job considering the angles and cutouts etc.

The cut outs on the girders are well finished Danielle. I find it difficult to get the radius's to blend into the straight edges without being off shape or leaving a little semicircle >>:-(
You are really motoring now.

Today I was brave enough to drill the 8 portholes. 3 to the left and 5 to the right side. Everything went well and according to my plan...first drilling it to 3, 6, 7.5 and 8mm. The remaining 4mm to the 12mm was done withe my proxxon and a konical bit.

The I glued bits of Lexan to the tubes with Canopy glue. This glues ist very useful as it dries completely clear!

Hi Danielle, how did you finish the porthole tubes? were they just sanded flush to the hull?
Mark

Mark, I sanded them flush to the hull. I leave them the orignal ABS plastic white color.

Been watching this from the start, also your previous build, you are one fantastic Boat Builder Danielle.
Have you got an idea for a further Model?.
Len.
-
Now now Len,
Let Danielle get this
amazing build finished
first :-))
Ned
-
I am impressed that you have managed to keep the initial coats of paint pristine in the time you have been working on the top hamper and bows! I would have scraped and dented it to bleepery by this point.
Looking fab Danielle.
-
Thanks a lot to you all!!!! :kiss:
My next build will be another italian fishtrawler with wooden hull. I want to build it as closely as possible to an original hull. I even want to have the nail holding the planks rusting at the end for an authentic weathered look. I visited a few shipyards (one of the the last one building woodern trawlers) and have some books about shipbuilding in italy. I think I will build in 1/16 or even 1/10 scale. I have 3-4 hull designs ready to be built. I wont build another model without at least a decent hull plan showing all sections. It may even have a smoke simulator who should puff out black smoke like a real diesel.....
The hull stayed fixed on its base all the time. I managed to have 1-2 scratches and a big dent at the bow. But some color and putty have taken care of the damage.
There are some 6-8 coats of paint and another 4 coats of varnish.
-
Black Smoke is a bit difficult to make it seems.
Len.

It should be possible using black smoke powder (the same stuff used by movie and fire brigades) .... just have o invent the machine to ignite it in small portions ... %)

The dark blue stuff is on the hull ... finally!!!

Today the new dark blue color got its varnish. I also got my order of different LEDs.
Can I use the LEDs in series? +---LED---LED---LED---LED---LED--- - .Like 5x3.1V = 15.5V. Batterie has 12V (or a little bit more after recharging it). I think it should work?!

I would not advise it . The is nothing to regulate the current . For 12v use between 750 ohm and 1 k ohm resistor 1/4w or 1/8w on each LED. Wire them up in Parallel.
John
-
Theree should be no problem using these LED's in series as the supply voltage is lower than the maximum voltage . There should be no need for any resistor as the LED has its own small resistance. There are 12V LED lamps made up of four LED's in series with no resistor used.
Jim

Thanks a lot for your informations! :-)) I'll decide later about the LEDs...
Today I started the netwinch...

More work done ... I made a drawing to get the space evenly distributed .... looks very nice .... and at the end some color. Coloring has to be done before everything is glued in place.

So not only does the deck obscure the winches, but the designers put covers over them as well! Tut tut, they never think of us model makers!!!
-
When hauling in with any type of winch, there is [or should be <*<] a natural human instinct not to stand in direct line with the pull rope or wire
This is the prime reason that inboard & top safety covers are mounted as shown
Derek
-
You're right ... a winch is a very dangerous item!
Luckily most details are not visible and so do not have to be fabricated. Thanks to the safety covers.
More work done ... the lower part can be glued on place only after everything is painted at the inside!

The winch covers are there for 2 reasons , 1 is health and safety for the crew the second is to help keep the underside of the shelterdeck clean , when your running off the warps shooting the gear a LOT of wet mud/crud gets thrown up off the barrels ( normally ended up having yellow oilskins looking like I'd stood behind a car stuck in mud !! )
-
I take my hat off to all fishermen especially in foul weather. That winch assembly looks much better in the dark blue Danielle. Lovely :-))
-
Thanks a lot :-)) :-)) :-))
I think today there is a lot done for the safety of the fishermen. Sadly the death rate is still too high ....
BTW I cut the away the front part (cable direction holder) and refixed it some 5mm away from the reels and 8mm lower on its base ... pictures will follow later.
-
Hi Danielle, I've been following the build of your latest model and as usual, I'm in awe of your attention to detail !
In your pictures I see a metal (s/steel ?) block or blocks to hold gluing pieces at right angles etc and thought how handy they were to have for building. I have tried to guess what name these would come under to find a source, but no success !
Any help please ?
Mike

Mike, I use a simple piece of Aluminium. 5x10mm. Bought it from a local metal shop. It was in the box where you can buy the small pieces left over from big project at a little price. I also use 90° angles from my local hardware shop.
Hope this helps. If you have a steel/iron plate you also could use magnetic welding angles ...
-
I wasn't happy with the whole assembly. So I cut it in half and reglued it together 4mm to the left and 8mm lower. Now I think it looks much better.

Thanks for the info Danielle, gives me something to look for. Cannot say I have seen a metal shop around, there again I have never looked for one !
Looking forward to the next installments on your build

Try you local Engineering College, when I did short Evening Class I was able to pick up lots of scrap 2" x 2" x Short offcuts for Free. Just pop in and ask.

I use these, handy, heavy and fit for purpose, maybe a bit pricey but can be sourced cheaper on thief bay.

Today the second launch of the Nuova Loredana in the bathtub. I had to check the weight and the stability in the water. The ship is a little bit heavy at the bow ... I will have to add 2kg of iron shots in the back part. together with 2pcs of 12V batteries (@990g each) the ship should lay exactly level in the water. Only a little bit (4mm) over the waterline. I can live with that. Its a beauty in water and it will be hard to give her away (selling it).
Building the boat as heavy as possible was never a problem. She stays in water as stable as the Cornelia Marie! Even with the gantry and other weights at the top she is not top heavy. Now I can go forward and go on with the built!!!

It sits well in the water Danielle, you can't beat a bit of weight in the model to avoid that 'toy duck' bobbing out on the lake. Only drawback is if the car park is a long way from the lake !
Solved the aluminium block search by the way. Found an outfit with a range of offcuts on Fleabay - 4 inch by 3/4 inch bar, £9.70 free postage. If anyone interested will post link

Good news Mike!!!! :-)) :-))
Time to place the batteries. I thought there would be a nice small 12V/6Ah battery (like the 6v I use) in the shop but no .... so I bought two smaller ones with 12V/2.3Ah. They fit much better becaus they go to the left and right of the motor.

Time to finish the underside of the upper deck. Everything has to be in place. Openings, pulleys, light, reinforcement etc.

After a break in the built I did made the plan for the illumination of the ship .... tomorrow I will draw the wiring plan. Without it I cant do any other work at the moment.

And so you should Danielle, shes a gorgeous boat. Despite your misgivings, the gantry at the rear makes her look quite sleek balancing the graceful bows. Are you sure you are building a Fishing vessel and not a luxury yacht?
I love the winch system :-))
-
Having a working drawing also helps to avoid confusion when wiring up - a simple but most effective idea - nice one. :-)
Regards
Ray.

They built one yacht .... the hull is very similar to the one of the fishtrawler.
BTW ... most italian fishing boats have a nicely shaped hull ...

-
Beautiful. I don't think it would be that hard to convert the plans of your vessel to build a yacht like that.
-
I know you prefer fishing boat models, but that would almost fit both needs, who ever owns that yacht has a unique boat, it must be the talk of marinas where ever it goes
Mark
-
Your right! Easy to convert the hull for a yacht. I can't find the picture at the moment but there is a yacht in italy where the hull is completely the same as on a fishing boat.
Drawings are ready ... just waiting for the usual kick in the ass to start the work.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2E6AB623-BC39-4BFA-91BA-B61FAC6BA106_zpsg6tjy8pr.jpg)

I am glad you know how it goes together Danielle.

Hi Danielle
i see on your drawing you are running x3 leds in series then these in parallel .Are you going to use resistors ?
John

Hi Danielle
i see on your drawing you are running x3 leds in series then these in parallel .Are you going to use resistors ?
John
Yes I will ... the 3x 3.2V LED's (white and green) in series have a 120Ohm resistor und the 3x 2.1V LED's (red) have a 330Ohm resistor. That's what a online LED/Resistor calculator gave as result.
-
Hi Danielle
when I do LEDs I normally have X1 led and a 750 ohm resistor for 12v. For the micro LED about 1mm by 1mm Its needs to be higher like 1.5K ohm. all leds are wired in series .
john

Here the colcultions from the LEDs vendor homepage (in German)

I agree. Except for the obvious plywood trunk, it does look spookily real. You and Joe have that knack :-))

Tragic that most of that superb work will not be easily visible when complete. but you know its there, thats what counts

Thanks a lot!!!! :-))
Today I made the deck openings for 2 ropes (to lift the net and cod end) and 4 cables for the 4 small nets that can also be used. The 4 small nets are a dragging type with fingers that scratch the bottom .... I wont model them.
Here a picture of them.

First I had to locate the exact positions of the openings.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/82C34C5A-E0B4-4979-A392-CCF5C1B21D01_zpsyctyk0z8.jpg)

Well, you certainly have an eye for detail and the more you add, the more realistic this model will be.
Fascinating to see this boat coming together. O0

It has a good balance between style and practicality. Are you going to add some of the fish trays that you can see in the picture of the nets?

Hullo Danielle.......I seem to get auto e-mails from the German WEB De Sc--------. so viewed the winch wire shrouds there first
The shrouds do look very tidy indeed sectioning both the upper and lower deck levels.......however as noted a few days back, it seems a pity to hide the winches and attached wires away from view
I am sure you will have the opportunity during construction to rig a winch wire or two just to show the mechanism without the deck
Derek
-
I walked trough the pages and I am amazed by what I see here. Very nice fishingboat.
-
Thanks a lot! :-))
The is an opening in the upper deck. It can be lifted out including the exhaust stack. So the winch will be totally visible.
-
As you can see the exhaust stack is fixed to the deck opening. I made the tube detail today.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/9EC6071A-F708-4B11-B534-EF33CF8B60A6_zpsntipr5yp.jpg)

Thanks a lot for the encouraging words! ok2
Today I made some of the ropes needed for the N.Loredana ....
Length is about 4m.
First I made some with 3x1 ... normal yarn.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/6C05AD9B-58AC-42C8-B0D0-B5ECE46CD145_zpsrtojm8wf.jpg)

Then I made some with 3x1 fine yarn.
The next ones where made with 3x3 fine yarn with excellent results.

I also made one with 3x3 normal yarn with not so good results.
These are all ropes I made today.

Len, actually the cat wasn't interested in the yarn at all .... ok2
I bought the rope machine online ... can't remember the shop .... I found another brilliant rope machine that will make professional looking ropes as long as you want.
It works just like the real ones I saw at work when I was working for the worlds #1 steel cable factory in Switzerland.
I may build a prototype with my Meccano parts and then build a sturdy one .... I wouldn't buy it from this page ... too expensive.

There is a very old Rope Making Machine in the Ropery/Rope Walk at the Chatham Maritime Museum in Kent that is a Quarter of a Mile long and the workers use Cycles to get from one end to the other.
-
Danielle...that Planetary 3.0 rope machine for $300 would be great for a modeller for an older sailing ship....it also has a central core string
Is that a 'Fender Sidekick' amplifier? :-))....not sure what <*< brand of guitar..............

I saw the cat as well and wondered if the whole thing was going to be a cat toy for a moment.

Yes its a Fender 15 sidekick reverb amp. I have a 70ies Framus guitar (German Fender Jaguar type copy), a Epiphone Explorer and a Loog 3-String guitar.
Today I glued the doors in ... glue was not 100% set in the afternoon so I couldn't try and open them.

Its the detail that makes the difference, just like the CM. The ropes are superb, realistic. Earl Grey tea??? thats going in my little black book
Mark
-
Mark, any black tea works fine. Important is that the yarn or rope you want to tinted is uncolored and cotto, linen etc. White works best. I also made one time sandsacks out of baby blue linnen.... they came out in a realstic color.
-
Do the working doors allow you access to switches or other controls, or is it to allow a viewer to see all the effort you have made on the interior?
I apologise if I sowed the seed that made all that work in the form of these boxes Danielle, still they will add lots more detail to an already ram packed model!
-
Switches and controls will be hidden by a metalbox where normally the propane tank is or maybe with the two crates holding different ropes.
Here you see the crate to the right and the metal box holding the propane tank for the kitchen. They always cook with propane gas on italian trawlers ...
I made the fishboxes because I did not want to start wiring the LEDs (I hate wiring) .... ok2
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/DSC_6013_zpsqfoomxc4.jpg)
-
Danielle.......switches hiding under the metal box near the bow is OK, but do not put those safety signs on the box structure as propane bottles must be stored in a container with mesh doors and the structure suitably labelled etc...... Derek

Derek,
How's your Italian, Parla Italiano.
Looks like the Italians handle gas tanks different to Australia, lost in translation??????
The 'box' will probably contain the spread of a fire, particularly if it cuts out one of the three necessary elements of a fire %) %)

No sorry Danielle or RAAArty....my Italian is limited to..... si prega di trasmettere il Parmigiano-Reggiano
...which should be .........'please pass the Parmesan cheese' for my Pizza {-)
Pretty sure that the storage of refillable/portable Propane gas vessels is covered by IMO :police: regulations

As I couldn't work on my Loredana the last days (the flu knocked me out of any activiy over the holidays) I post this nice video of building an italian trawler.
The modeller is Salvatore Salcuni. A master shipbuilder at the Rucher shipyard in Manfredonia. I met the owners of the shipyard one year ago. Its one of the last shipyards that builts trawlers in wood.
I must say that building such a wonderful model is really the masterclass of model building. The woodwork of the hull is just like the real thing. For me its the goal I want to reach in the future.

Very similar in quality and scope to what BB does in Oz. Thanks for sharing and do get well soon.
Lots of fluids:O)

Flu is gone .... home made medicines and lots of fluids! :-))
Fishboxes ready for painting and finished.

Oh Danielle, this is going to be a joy to see completed. I am pleased to hear your flu has departed.

Thanks a lot you two!!!! :-))
Today I cleaned up the ceiling and all the LEDs .... everything wired together. Hope it will work in the end ...

I glue the LEDs directly in place. Nobody will see it.

Tomorrow I can glue the deck in place!!!!

I did a little side project during the last weeks .... italian fishtrawlers that can be sold in souvenir shops in italy. No shop has nice italian fishtrawlers. They always sell the crabboats from the north sea. So maybe if I can do 100 or more pieces I can earn some money.
This is a prototype missing its fishing net. I wont color them. Maybe using transparent laquer on the different parts. I haven't made up my mind yet.

Like the idea with the LEDs - very neat.

If you decide to go ahead with the idea, run the rigging thread through some bees wax - it helps prevent the rigging going "hairy" O0
Lovely little boat by the way. :-)
Regards,
Ray.
-
Thank you ver much!!! :-))
Good idea with the beeswax ... I didn't knew this trick. Have a beeswax candle on my dinner table that will be used the next time!
-
If it only funds your boat model making then it would be worth it. I suppose it comes down to the usual costs plus labour plus profit and seeing if the trade and retail prices are feasable. A friend of mine used to make wooden toys and real wax writing tablets for local museums. He was retired but even so, there were some really busy times and I remember seeing his workshop filled with stacks of games and tablets! He and his wife used to use the income as their holiday fund. The model looks attractive :-))
-
Regarding the bees wax - forgot to say, use a twirling (twisting) motion as you slowly pull the thread through, this helps to ensure coverage of all the strands. :-)
Regards,
Ray.
-
Thanks a lot Ray. I will do it as you said!!!! :-))
Today is the day ... to fix the gantry to the upper deck and the upper deck to the hull.
The gantry is screwed to the deck. Glue was no option. It has to be bonded to the deck bulletproof.

It just needs that old fish smell and it will be like the real thing. Like Mark said, Billiant.

Very good detailing. :-)) :-))

Thanks a lot my friends. :-))
I could use leftover fish from the cats dinners for the right smell!!!
Blizzard in my workspace??? .... no no I did only sand the upper deck.

I was thinking when I read your post about fitting the A frame that I couldn't recall the wheel house being done! No worries though as you are steaming through its build already. Crisp work Danielle :-)

Thanks a lot!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
Another day in the cold of my workspace ... the heater does work well but the floor is very cold.
From this ...

Get yourself a mat to stand on Danielle. It keeps the cold out of the legs.
The wheelhouse is looking good :-))
-
Thanks a lot! I may put a piece of wood on the floor .... wood seems to isolate well against the cold.
Friday ... last day of the week to finish things. I did finish the walls of the wheelhouse. Came out as I wanted.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/CAA3E63B-3A63-4D3F-8DE5-4ACF753E65EA_zps5mb9uxww.jpg)

Some pieces where made 3 times till they came out right but thats the modellers life!!!
I added reinforcements at the top and a floor made of 3mm ply (anything else was out of stock in my workspace).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/19585CB5-1DC4-4C44-B83F-4CE1CE61FD1A_zpsq1qkdxor.jpg)

I wasn't happy with the internal height of the wheelhouse. I cut out the floor and decided to glue a new one in some 6mm lower.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/F1203DB0-F1FF-4FE7-8D2D-95179A841FF8_zps5ybhfsdc.jpg)

Sorry Danielle, is it me? the owner seems closer to the roof than your model man, matching the waist height etc, i think your original floor height would have been better, just me!!!

Not so sure, if you look at the edge of the slope on the wheel housing it is just below navel height on the real bloke and the scruffy individual who has lost his barrow ! ok2

You're right Mike!!! I started to build the console with the screens and the wheel and it was so low that the screens would have been at the height of the captains butt .... way too low! I also included some reserve in the height as the actual bloke on the wheel will be handmade by my wife (hopefully). As you may remember, they are a little bit bigger than the scale they should be.
-
I made the console for monitors and radios etc .... came out rather well .... as you wont see it really good at the finished model I do not have to built it in museum quality. But I must say that without lowering the floor I could not do it! You'll see it if you add the 6-7mm to the existing floor....
The next fishtrawler I build will have a wheelhouse with no strange angles everywhere ... !!!!! ok2

I agree, much clearer now
Mark
-
I love the figure Danielle! Your wife does capture the look of a person well.
-
Abject apologies to your wife Danielle ! O0 it looks like my 'scruffy individual' description was indeed her effort. My only excuse is he looks more at home in the second set of pics with the actual wheel in front of him (and not an invisible wheel barrow).
A weak excuse, but the best I can come up with ! %)
Mike
-
:-))
Just wait till the real figure is ready ... this is just a cheap scruffy one from my model shop ... ok2
-
It is a good figure. I apologise to everyone for assuming the wrong designer and questioning your I.P Mike!

That's ok ballastankian (do you suffer from free surface now and then ?)
Danielle, please hold my apologies in reserve ! I'm sure I might need it again in the future :embarrassed: O0

Off we go after the holidays. First I started with the roof of the wheelhouse.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A03A1AB0-0D27-4FDF-B86E-41A4D6F8518E_zpsvxb0ladf.jpg)

Then I started also with the anchors. Couldn't find the right ones so I had to scratchbuild them. They will be black and so no need to have too much details on them because you wont see them really.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/1A6AF6FF-48E0-48CC-8ECD-504F6A182732_zpshlqjoogi.jpg)

Plenty of seating but standing room only %) %) %)
-
Roof of the wheelhouse made of 2x 1.5mm ply ... I wished I had some 2.5mm on hand but my stocks are ampty after one year building time.
So off I went and glued the two pieces together.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/604A0D2B-412A-4E65-A308-046B5721F9F4_zpsfib3qc7a.jpg)

Anotherday another job done .... ok2
Working again on the roof. The "cover" of the roof has to be done. Its made of 2x 0.6mm ply.
Taking the exact angle ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/6FFBD731-057D-4F58-A6C7-6441E095FB3D_zpseil1mihp.jpg)

Covers made of 0.6mm ply. I just love this flexible ply!!! I always use a cutter or scissors to cut it.

Lovely indeed Danielle. Fine workmanship on show :-)) I bought some thin ply but havn't used it yet.
Look after those fingers though, you only have ten of them :}
-
Thanks a lot .... you're right! I have only ten fingers ... some of them have a lot of scars ... but I cut my fingers deeply mostly when I cook .... ok2

It's great whittling parts on the lathe or in the power drill. Interesting progress, and great to see you making the middle sized detail parts. Before you know it, you will fit the last lamp or door handle and there will be another Boat completed.

:-))
Last hours of work for this week! ok2
Finished the exhaust stack ... lacking some small details which I can do later .... the 2 dolphins will be very tricky to make.

Time to finish the smoke stack! I added a ladder and the covers for the exhaust pipes. The main engine exhaust pipe has its cover open. The auxiliary engine exhaust pipe will remain closed. Then I added some layers of acrylic paint. More layers will be needed to have e nice white exhaust stack.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/5F4BA7F4-5ED1-4DD1-BC9A-E4336B03C109_zpszrsaefy3.jpg)

I also started the radar mast. I made it with different pieces of scrap plywood. Normally I do the mast with ABS plastic but I still prefer wood. The front will be sanded round tomorrow. Another 1-2 weeks will be needed to get the mast done. There are 5 lights and 2 working radars to be added.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/6951C4E8-149F-4821-B738-59A29D320236_zpsf14w86ya.jpg)
Overall picture as usual .... I just love the very nicely designed lines of the ship! The newer fishtrawlers from the UK or France have never such classic lines. ok2

Is this because of the sea states expected of a particular region? I know the Med can get super choppy at times but the North sea and Atlantic can get enormous.
Lovely work as usual Danielle.
-
Thanks a lot! :-))
The med can have big waves ... at the adriatic the waves are little bit smaller. And I noticed that if there is a storm with waves and wind nobody gets out of the harbour. And who is out is coming in fast.
-
More work done .... came out rather nice!
Drilled the holes for the radar micromotors.

The designer of that mast certainly had a flair for interesting shapes. It is more like a cabin cruiser's than a working vessel.
Lovely work with the thin wood.
-
Danielle,
Do you have any wood working experience???
Your methods seem to indicate some experience working with timber.
Very informative build. O0 O0 O0
-
The designer of the original ship is known to make very nice fishing boats. There are so many of him to be found all over italy. His wooden constructions are nice too!
Do I have woodworking experience? Well, not really! Learning by doing is what I do or trial and error. I read a lot of ship building books, visited ship yards, photographed nearly all fishing vessels of the adriatic and some of the med coast. Watch videos of building ships and models, read many posts on this and other forums. My skills where not always so good. Since 4 years I have my own building space in the house where I have own an appartement. This gave my modelling skills a big boost. No more building in the kitchen, dining room etc .... I also could buy all neccessary maschines I need. Without them I can't build anything this fast and accurate.
The Corneia Marie was my first big build of a model ship. I always say to my wife that I should build another one to get one without the building mistakes I made. I have another 2-3 models waiting to be made. They will be in a larger size than the Cornelia Marie 1/32 and the N. Loredana 1/24 .... the larger the better! No fiddly little pieces to be made. Everything can be sturdy and of reasonable size that can be held in hand and not by tweezers .... hope you like my builds and will read my posts as before.
-
Obviously the books, forums, and the like were all worthwhile as you have developed some fine woodworking skills.
The tools are only as good as the crafter/operator.
It is apparent, that you have successfully developed your boat building skills, well done.
I take note, how joints are constructed, the means of fabrication, order of assembly and so on, which tells me a lot about the builder.
Yes I agree, that building to a "large scale" does simplify some items and also allows for more detail to be included, as well as adding realism.
:-)) :-)) :-))
-
Thanks a lot !!!! Hopefully my next model with be better ...
Not happy with yesterdays work I redid the wings on the mast. Made slits into the cover and now the wings a firmly attached to the mast.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/08E6025A-D695-4D30-9320-269DA96715E4_zpspweazbtt.jpg)

At least you can use the mooring lines on the ship.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/1EC56C1E-02C4-418D-9488-24791F4376DC_zpsyf10nbqm.jpg)

-
Could the wings have been made in one piece, Like a boomerang, then secured to the "flat" of the platform???
Cantilevered parts always need better support due to the forces of gravity, the longer the cantilever, the better (stronger) the joint has to be.
Maybe a tiny wood fillet underneath to support the piece, much like when fillet welding on the underside.
But that joint as you have it is now more secure. O0 O0 O0
-
I didn't want to do it in one piece as the original has two pieces. But you're right. It woud have been more sturdy.
Began to build the mast with the lamps and antenna.
I wanted to do it with a 2mm copper pipe. Bending it with my bending tool did not work as I wanted ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/B6AB3CAA-DCA7-4DA5-9CDE-172B9A40940B_zpseam27hau.jpg)
So I did everything with ABS profiles. Here I just put everything together without aligning it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/DAF95C51-D4E4-4EFF-A506-020C20E58A35_zpsz3gsxovt.jpg)
Aligning everything with the help of 2 wood profiles and a piece of cardboard...glueing is done with aceton which is very fast bonding ABS together.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2AD91324-364F-42B9-B264-9D9829F29A59_zpsemytgnxz.jpg)
I did a mastholder out of a 9mm ply ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/F4AFE5C6-6FFB-4CC0-A859-487689AE8C8B_zps80rv1z3j.jpg)

I saw that but knowing how lenses can make even the most accurate model look 'Sqiffy' didn't think anything of it.
Excellent work as per usual :-)) Did you know that the body produces Acetone during Ketosis and too much can cause acidic blood.
-
Very interesting fact about the body-produced acetone! :-))
Off we go ... last working day at my shipyard.
Just checked with some pics if I had done everything right.
Thats the situation today.... ---> Massimo Tanfa
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/734046_602180643163692_204855778_n_zpscufrusbh.jpg)
And the next picture shows the situation with the N. Loredana .... not the same at all. Silly me! I have two folder with my pics. One with the Loredana pics (ony a few) and the other with the pics of the Massimo Tanfa. Never realized I had a pic of the Loredana mast. I always thought the mast will be the same but it isn't. This is the only picture of the mast from the N. Loredana I have to work with.

You will be glad you have noticed the difference. Imagine the frustration if you had noticed only after everything was painted up and wired in... <:(
Good to see you have salvaged most of the mast work. :-)
Regards,
Ray.
-
It is a shame you could not have taken the mast off so as to use it on another ship and built a new one. I know it is extra work, but you would have had the beginnings of another model!
All the same, your masts look great and will only get better as you add the diddy bits.
-
Thanks a lot! :-))
My wife told me the same .... keep it and build another one. But my next models will be in 1/16 and bigger scales!
I will start with drawings of my next model in the next days and finishing the N. Loredana asap. Just to get my mind on other things as the N. Loredana. I have the drawing for the FV Princess Loane which I will build but not with the shape of a steel hull but a wooden hull. A nice challange for me changing the drawings.

Wow, that sheer is going to eat up some plywood! I love the sleek look, again the mix between cruiser and work boat.
I had a quick Google and see that someone else is building a model of her possibly in metal.

One of the photos shows a 'trawler' almost submerged.
Danielle,
Will make a nice model. :-)) :-))
-
Thanks a lot!!!! ok2
Thats the model he did after making the drawings. They where free to download. I like the shape of the hull. A nice mix of old and new.
-
Yes it has a lovely curve, almost like a stylised galleon but back to front.
-
Back to the reality ....
Today I added some details and color on the roof of the wheelhouse.

Isn't she a beauty?!

A beauty she is indeed Danielle. There is something very swordfish like about her prow, and like all your vessels built or planned she is a sleek'n:O)
-
Amazing O0 :-))
-
Thank you very much :-)) :-)) :-))
I have a good week .... everything is going well and fast!
On deck its time to make some more railings ..... I always do them on the ship and never on my workbench. Less errors can be made with my method.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/030E0616-CC4B-4FE5-843E-8E2FAD434F22_zps1mlsdakl.jpg)

I added some details on the foredeck. The anchorwinch got some heavy modifications. I should have built it new but I am fed uo a little bit with the N. Loredana....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/030E0616-CC4B-4FE5-843E-8E2FAD434F22_zps1mlsdakl.jpg)
-
Hang on in there Danielle, you are nearly there! The finish line is in sight :-))
-
I know what you mean, the little bits take an age to do but you dont see much for the effort, heads up, remember the CM towards the end? but then think of the great feeling as it took to the water for the first time.
Mark
-
Thanks a lot for the encouragment my friends ..... I never thought it would make such a difference if you build a model for me or for a "client". I think I wont do it again! Never mind you're right ... not much left to do and with some effort I should finish her in good time .... %)
-
I finished the anchor winch ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/E51A8F71-EC05-43D9-AB8F-A4B25211517D_zpsbbwm9ygr.jpg)
More railings added .... phuu .... there is so many left to do .... {:-{
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/13108655-D81F-428E-BABC-1CCF865542F3_zpsekvfncnu.jpg)
Painting the bow section white before finishing the railing.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/8A6CEA65-1C96-4C51-A0BE-7786DAC54833_zpsixoau5ah.jpg)
Time to get the position light mast in place. On wire is without isolation or it wouldn't have fitted into the tube.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/16AFD73B-D79C-4444-96E3-04FEA1BF1461_zpsasjpwyrw.jpg)
And todays work from above ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/B3455C94-E02B-4D04-A4E1-CDFF60CAE963_zpshyxhaez4.jpg)
And behind ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/84AB8AA1-7E26-42F5-A517-87CE04F8E99D_zpsobbocaa5.jpg)
I also received 6/8/10mm diameter acrylic rods. With them I can make my own position lights in the right scale.
-
Crikey, making your own lights? There's no stopping you now Danielle!!!
-
I had to start making my own position lights. They are way to expensive to buy. Around 5CHF pair .... and you never find the exactly right ones ....
-
Put only some color on the ship .... a couple of hours ... ok2
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/24F2E173-7C36-4EDB-B70C-EF833FB19DBE_zpskserdoxt.jpg)
After some 2h .... lacking the clear varnish which I did later in the afternoon.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/B7E0211D-9E2C-443A-A2AD-300EF8A730DB_zpsbzuqovdj.jpg)
Foredeck and roof are finished ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/84E80B3F-4534-4725-BDFC-35B445B4816B_zpsbba8la7t.jpg)

Looking great Danielle
Colour brings the build
to life. :-))
Ned

Thanks a lot Ned! :-))
Railing on the bow was made today ... came out nicely!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/B818B857-687A-4D5F-A9B8-1C7422F5784E_zpsr7vqq6hn.jpg)
Finished ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A2FCE4D4-688E-48BA-96FD-1CF53D0D5BC3_zpsinjlvhyi.jpg)
Two small details added. Don't know how to call them ... profiles to prevent water dropping into the stairwell and to the left and right of the deck.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/86A95CA6-743C-4ABC-91EF-87B125B2BB38_zpsc74ylmtr.jpg)
Then I repainted the interior of the wheelhouse. Its iron oxide red. I will add the wood grain by drybrush technique. Then it will look allright!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/27A27338-9098-424F-BF56-E2DF45D2C2DC_zpsi1ubxxso.jpg)

Hi Danielle. Stair coaming springs to mind, I mean logically it is a coaming of sorts, just a shallow one.
Aw, she's a neauty. I like the realistic way you are using baulks of timber to prop stuff up:O)

It will also help support the rail in heavy weather %) %)
Looking Good :-)) :-))
-
Thanks a lot to you two!!! :-)) :-))
Another detail added at the end of the deck ... then some white and blue color on deck ... nearly finished it is!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A2B014ED-3C71-475E-B386-1C1B483AD622_zpsjba7idfv.jpg)
Drilled all the holes for the railingposts.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/BAC3E926-F241-4992-B1A9-EFF6FF0C7FDF_zpsnn3ybgi9.jpg)
The upper deck ready for the varnish.

And the boat from the top ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A552996F-D669-4BFC-8EAA-D4221538D924_zpsmeqeyomv.jpg)
I like the railing at the bow!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/98124614-C68A-45EE-B90E-41756CE46E4A_zpsesyk88j1.jpg)
-
You went all 'Yoda' there Danielle! The railing on the bow is very neat. Did you do them from plastic or metal? If the former then extra kudos to you as plastic can be a nuisance especially when under tension.
-
The plan was to make it with copper wire but in the end I used ABS profiles. Its not as sturdy as a copper one but it does not break easely. I did the same with the Cornelia Marie. But the Cornelia Marie can't be lifted and handled as good as the N. Loredana.
-
Last brushes of blue paint and varnish on the upper deck (sorry no pic).
Then off I went with the railing.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/50518A1B-DE03-4DC3-82A8-258B298F0CF8_zpsrui5tlve.jpg)
Left side done ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2D613CA8-BAEF-4BC4-B799-0B0B47714D51_zpsbbwsho5y.jpg)
Right side done as well!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2195AA09-9C3C-46D2-BF65-43CAE231AB32_zpszv05dzni.jpg)
The next days will be spent with adding the nex two rows of the railing.
I am happy with the look of it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/03A3E1B8-1F91-4FA0-A8DE-86F257B126BF_zpsw50ebvsr.jpg)

I must say I should keep her for myself! There is no other fishtrawler in the world with such elegant lines as the the ones made by the Cantiere Navale Ippolito in italy!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/797AD44D-1A79-4A0B-92CF-A416036D86A3_zpsgrpl2qor.jpg)
-
Though i like the shape of most fishing vessels because of their squat and tubby shapes, the Nuova is another thing altogether, and like mentioned before, they manage to combine the lines of a cabin cruiser with that of a trawler.
Gorgeous wirk Danielle. I can understand your retisence to part with her after all your hard work. Is it going far away from you?
-
Just think of how much improvement you can do on the second one O0 O0
-
It will go to Rimini in Italy. To the son of the ex-owner.
I am not sure if I would build another one. There is a big access problem with the long upper deck .... {:-{
Maybe I would build the hull again but leaving the deck with the netwinch at the open like they have on trawlers in sicily. It would be an option.
Last working day .... time to make the second row of the railing.
First I made a little helper ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/IMG_3393_zpstlczfgeb.jpg)
In use .... rather good thing even if some of the profiles where welded with aceton in place without the help of it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/IMG_3394_zpsacm5vjur.jpg)
A part of the third row where made just to show you how it will look in the end.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/IMG_3395_zpsqc8vra9e.jpg)
And a pic of todays work ....

Well now, what a simple, yet brilliant idea that is - it kind of looks like a forklift holding the bar steady.
Did you make another "helper" for the lower bar as well ?
Regards,
Ray.
-
For the lower bar I have 2 simple 11x11 fir profiles ... maybe I do another helper I don't know.
-
Ufff .... the railings are finished.

They look amazing, 'straight to!!!' no wonder you are out of pull, must have been a grueling day
Mark
-
Mark, actually it went rather well without to much hassle. Must have had a good day! ok2
New week other details to be made .... the life raft canisters and its holder ....
Didn't have a 20mm rod but 1/2 ones ... so glued them together which gave me a line in half to put additional details on it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/5F7226B3-F4C0-42E9-A059-5DF4F13DD4BA_zpszlrl8cc6.jpg)

The holder is made of ABS cut in half.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/6E81DA2C-CE5F-4A3B-8DA7-FE29061F57B8_zpscc5hyjrh.jpg)
All parts before glueing together.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/E74C891B-EF4E-4D86-A8FE-2972CC9A582C_zpsxnxmub1x.jpg)
Check if everything is OK.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/28BCE9FE-2561-4536-8D10-978298B8505F_zpsq9gqelwk.jpg)
Some details added.

More details added ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/E8C5E27D-ED12-4CB5-8B6E-B21BB6FE009F_zpsnhyzguct.jpg)
Just slapped some color on it ... will sand it down tomorrow.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/FF4943CF-F72D-4B82-A57A-B56D9D4F939F_zps8hmisgj6.jpg)
And put it on the deck of the N. Loredana.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/95ECF89E-C7CD-4131-8ED2-A9B375824F4D_zpspmqwtgot.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/D314D38B-F2D1-480A-9483-746491B98119_zps5e28o7hc.jpg)
Started to make some details in the wheelhouse.

An italian modelling friend made these nice labels for the liverafts.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/7ED431F4-5CF0-4F65-B1C4-B5A33E997909_zpsizgxb4fw.jpg)
Wonderful detail! And wait! There's a special detail I have to show you after the next picture.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/3EA69377-6E91-452C-9B68-0916E63CE2C2_zpsrk63kjfp.jpg)
The label has the right name on it!!!!

-
That is such a special detail! You are doing some very inspiring work Danielle especially in the wheelhouse.
-
Thanks a lot!!!! I give my best!!! :-))
Today I painted the stuff in the wheelhouse...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/4D0CC278-586B-461A-96F2-42580CEBF1B5_zpssmrexx50.jpg)
And used some printed out pics from the Furono and other homepages.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/865CD28B-C725-4FFD-A1EF-CD0F6250F1C2_zpsivykzzbl.jpg)
Glued yesterdays work in place on deck.

Finished the wheelhouse electronics yesterday evening ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A073FAD8-02D7-40BF-8198-90C3BE4F437C_zpsrjbx1n11.jpg)

Today its time to finish with the color of the hull .... first I used the superb masking tape from Tamiya and then a normal masking tape from the DIY shop. I always use the Tamiya masking tape as I slap a lot of color on the hull and even after 4-5 times you can remove it without problems.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/D866B81A-9D29-4478-89A6-FC5457723C96_zpsj5vwz6qn.jpg)
2 times white color ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/F4CAF07B-8265-474A-A560-396471F1E5FF_zpsmnhaoh62.jpg)
Another 2-3x and FINISHED!!!

After a couple of hours I varnished the hull down to the yellow line.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A7F17F9E-2555-4222-8B4C-66B4411EE15A_zpsketrjjro.jpg)

-
All done? If so thankyou for a winter's worth of interesting and entertaining work. From the ply frames to the excellent internal details in the wheelhouse and on the deck.
-
hehe ... the hull is finished .... still have to do the radars and lights and all the electronicsand the nets and fenders and .... ok2
-
You tease :} :}
-
Another beauty Danielle ! The boat I mean, not you {-)
Does the chap that you are building it for know of this record on MM of the build ?
Mike

Mike I think he knows MM .... ok2
Today story has the title: THE TWO DOLPHINS!
Yes there are two dolphins on the exhaust stack.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/DSC_5621_zpsqj9sxe3s.jpg)
I wasn't sure how to fabricate them. First I printed them in the right size on paper. Then I glued the paper on a piece of 1mm ABS sheet. First I tried to cut it out with a knife (dolphin to the right) and ended up in using my Proxxon bandsaw (the left one)! Worked out very well and everything was ready for sanding in under 6 minutes ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/EB5C0A48-A798-4C51-92B3-021BBDE4BC86_zpsirztobyo.jpg)

The result is rather nice ....

Now the upper deck is 99% finished.

To say you are packing the details in is an understatement. How is the crew coming along?
-
Hi Danielle, how do you find using the artist paint, was looking for myself, its far cheaper than spray paint
Mark
-
We are still doing interviews for the crew! Just joking .... my wife hasn't done them yet. %)
The artist paint is really nice but the following things can't be done ....
- Mixing colors is very difficult ---> Impossible for big quantities
- Using the colors out of the tube without water or alcohol will be a little bit more like a paste than a "normal" color. Be careful one can see every stroke you made.
- It is not 100% waterproof ... I ended up putting varnish on everything
I used one tube of dark blue for the hull ... price is around 8.90 CHF/tube
-
New week new parts in work ....
The booms ... yes there are two booms on this trawler. They where not always in use and all picture of the original show them stored on the upper deck. But I think its a nice detail anyway! They are only in use if they fish with 4x small bottom trawls with heavy iron scrapers at the front. I have no idea how they are called in english. I think its some sort of dredging.
Parts (this time I used copper!) ready for assembling.

... and finished.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/BF5DC7EC-D102-4A68-A954-50776F60F420_zpstnuc6ojy.jpg)
Glued on the boat.

Time to make the connection plate...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2D9AE1AA-C8CC-4E19-828A-3A813903942D_zpsz0ihioyw.jpg)
Had some wooden dowels in the right dimension ... two pieces of ABS will do.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/45A06B4A-6687-4539-8784-78E7EDF0D58A_zpsow7bszey.jpg)
And finished on the boat. I made the connecting axle with a aluminium rivet. Fast and secure!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/99F6D8E5-8A8F-4F57-BFB1-BF81D9BD56AA_zpsavnt3pqr.jpg)

Lovely Danielle! That deck is so realistic even down to the damp staining near the boxes.
Amazing work. I like the booms.
-
Thanks a lot!!!! Never knew I had made damp stainings near the fish boxes!!!! :-))
PS: Actually its so dusty on the working deck and on some places I had to reach inside and that created the damp patches .... ok2
-
Well, it looks very good :-))
-
Well today I did not have much time. Just put on some more color .... now it looks like I can varnish the wheelhouse, roof, doors and the booms tomorrow.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/E638D7F9-706D-428D-8353-0DEAE13A44A4_zpspsexrmae.jpg)

Instead of varnishing things today I made the holders for the rescue rings.
All parts ready to be glued together.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/FE11659C-0B9A-449B-BE8A-8088A39F790B_zpsh3foyjyw.jpg)
Glued together ....

Holder works well ...

With the orange Color .... missing the cords on the rings. Will do them tomorrow ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/B75DFA48-78B9-494F-8176-5BCB608B3525_zpsmo1dkdov.jpg)
As the orange color had to dry I started on the seat for the captain ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/1C3AEE70-D8DD-4498-8DDC-C11B511106C0_zpsf1ne4mbb.jpg)
Ready for coloring .... actually the glue wasn't set 100% so I had to use a piece of wood to hold it upright for the foto.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/71692347-5B75-4C83-8ABF-419C85E318DB_zpst4f4hogc.jpg)

That is great work on the life preserver racks, It is nice when a model does what the real thing can do, like miniature hinges or tank tracks.
Lovely job on the chair as well, quite wel upholstered for comfort :D
-
HI Danielle, what were the hook parts made from, they appear to be cut from something????
Mark

I used 3x0.5mm ABS Profile for the hooks which I bent myself ....

Today I varnished everything on deck and the wheelhouse.
Finishing the rescue rings ....

Glued in place in the wheelhouse.

Beeeeeeautiful:O)

Rather like the adjustable cradle.
Thinking outside the box.
:-)) :-)) :-))

Yet another Beauty, Danielle !
How are you going to get it to the customer eventually ? Ship it, or sail it ? ok2 %%
Mike
-
Thanks a lot to you all! :-))
I will do a personal delivery! No way to ship such a beauty by post or express delivery service ..... and then visit some ports in Italy to make some more fotos ....

Today I started with the placement of the 3 on/off switches. The big one does the power on/off for the 2 batteries. The smaller 2: one for the radars and one for the lights.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A7E26346-D788-4F8B-B91E-7279755A28A9_zps0fn3aj04.jpg)
I wanted to put them into the Box where the gas for the kitchen is stored .... enough space for the switches but cramped place to get there with bigger fingers.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/7744B8D3-BC46-4166-A9EE-46E068F0043E_zpsi5lll1ji.jpg)
Second place is under a palett to the right behind the wheelhouse .... not enough space!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/1493940E-FAC2-4A43-B0EA-6A9BFC1744A9_zpscpxditgt.jpg)
Looking at the picture of the original .... I decided to go for the space under the massive mountain of nets/ropes in the middle behind the wheelhouse.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/Schalter_zpscx3adw38.jpg)
Here it is ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/05885994-1282-4EA6-A00B-524D244ED0DF_zpshjnl02c8.jpg)
The box is made of ABS plastic. The plate under the switches has the usual EUR-Palett size of 120x80cm. I may do a 120x120cm one to have a little bit more room inside....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/24552AFF-C62B-4B4B-9EE0-7959C4481401_zpsmipzshj1.jpg)
Have a nice weekend and I will work again next week!!!
-
Off we go! The palett was done quite fast.

I started to adapt the 1:700 geared micromotors into the housing of the radar.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/560614FD-CBC4-430D-A7D9-09758A773E63_zpscoxmh1ki.jpg)
And so will it look when its finished .... fog horn is waiting to be glued on.

-
Have you lots of different coloured cords to make the rope bundle with? It will add some chaos to an otherwise tidy and well laid out model :}
-
Thinking outside the box then switching, switches into the box.
:-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Thanks a lot!!!!! :-)) :kiss:
The ladder on the radarmast is done .... and glued the radars and fog horn in place.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/EDAA8275-A20E-41AE-B15B-162D9CA7C335_zpsutmc8wra.jpg)

No more naked radars .... I made (with help of my wife the PC wizard) these nice Furuno logos for the radars.
Printed on paper and glued to the radars with normal white glue. E little bit of varnish will make them waterproof.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/C9C103FE-718B-4981-9C4C-DA918754D7E2_zpshcdmyrtz.jpg)

Then I had to replace the broken top mast ... it was my fault ... the material used wasnt strong enough. I made the new one with 2 tubes for strength.
Mad quickly and reused most parts but the ones holding the lights.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2B3FA8DA-7332-4A59-BF3C-404BF137474F_zpscgzzdtfk.jpg)

Time to build the spotlight on deck. 4 big ones for the net gantry and 2 smaller ones on the wheelhouse.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/106F12C6-BA9F-4C73-9FEE-54818905C0D8_zpsflsonvs3.jpg)

I tried to get some paint on these plastic tubes to simulate the lights on the top mast (no function).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/41A43A14-5FE0-4A7B-A8EC-9EE141859454_zpsy6g628zm.jpg)

Those radar logos add so much realism to the model. I love the mast and did wonder what the coloured tubes were and thought you might have disembowelled marker pen ink tues for a minute but assume you tinted clear plastic tubes.
:-))
-
I tried to get some paint on these plastic tubes
Are the tubes clear plastic ?
...if so, you could try inserting painted paper or maybe shiny plastic inside the tubes. That way, the outside of the tubes would give the impression of "glass" lenses. :-)
Regards,
Ray.

Thanks a lot! :-))
I painted the matte clear tubes inside .... we'll see how it look today ok2

Gave the lights some sort of shape ....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/7609CAB1-CCE1-47CA-9987-DB6A77E27C81_zps34v7nc5j.jpg)
Looks ok to me ... the size is alright.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A22617B3-E416-438A-BE97-D4296506800E_zpsyqzfxo5o.jpg)
And more details to them ...

Finished the red and green lamps .... they are not as I wanted .... never mind .... I glued them to the mast.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/C3E20C0C-C005-4856-BC59-1FFB1692FBBE_zpsxzwoydiv.jpg)
No they are not OK. First: The lamp to the lower right should be white! Second: The size is not alright.
2-3mm less in height and 2-3mm more in diameter. Off I go to redo them!!!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/1865525B-3E8C-4D1C-B2E8-783558E7E3F3_zpsoryf898a.jpg)

I scrapped the red and green light today and made new ones out of a 8mm acryl rod I bought a few weeks ago.
First I made notes about the size ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/E54E9EA0-831F-472B-B253-54723BEDAFCB_zpsnjkntfnl.jpg)
Milling down to 6.5mm on my lathe. Anything on a lathe or drill has to be made with a very low RPM or the acrylic rod will melt.....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/FFAA3303-5A3F-4C12-A13A-3730BF09E759_zpsyaqdvyjw.jpg)
Marking where the material should stay ...

Milling the contours and drilling a 3.5mm hole for a LED or microbulb.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/98B7D4AF-5FF7-4B91-BA7F-197349657C67_zpszl1ujwb8.jpg)
With a small handsaw I cut away the finished position light.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/074C0A3A-6412-4457-B94C-737AC9F11444_zpspuwsq7pr.jpg)
And here is the finished positon light. A little bit of black color and its ready to be used on the boat.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/C0709EEA-37C0-4B7D-A89C-060F5215BBD6_zps02bmgadp.jpg)
-
New week still the same model to finish .... {-)
Lenses got some color ....
The airbrush color from Schmicke can also used with a brush or soft tip pen.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/ADD7B83B-029C-4590-AC84-9A2BF5746C59_zps8zanugmu.jpg)
Tamiya chrome color for the reflectors of the spotlights.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/A273C745-EB2E-4316-B792-25109ADAC08C_zps87mere7n.jpg)
Position lights needed a black top...

And later black feet .... spotlights got their casings blackened.

I like the smell of acrylic when machining it %% Lovely job on those position lights and also on the bigger ones Danielle, they look very accurate.
-
Thanks a lot!!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
Made a round base for every position lamp ....

I've just spent the last 3.1/2 hours reading through all 22 pages of this and the level of detail and quality of your work are 2nd to none, keep up the great work missyd :-)) I wished I had 1/50th of the skills you have
-
Hi all,
I was just referred here by a chap answering my call on stabiliser arms and such. I'm going to do my first boat build soon. It's looking like the Nordkap, I am favoring the Smit Nederland Tug though.
I was asking where I might find the stabilisers online because I love the look of them. I'm not sure they would look good on a Tug. lol
But I think you have answered my question. Bravo.... great job.
-
Hi, What's the trick after you print them? do you simply put them where you want them and apply a coating?
Well today I made the builders plates .... all done on word and printed on paper.
-
The stabilizers are made of wood and are very sturdy as the hull is also made of wood.
I'm back again ... I needed a break from building the Loredana. I bought a Rock Crawler RC-Car to play with outside. I had to adapt a Jepp Wrangler bodywork to a chassis .... lots of fun I had.
Today I finished all electrics at the back. All 4 spotlights and the position light are ready for use.

will there be refreshments on the top deck when she's put out to sea? %%

It's great to see you back at it Danielle. I am sure the break did you and your enthusiasm wonders. Your standards are as high as ever :-)

You could post that in the other hobbies section on here.
Cars and truck trailers are also featured. O0 O0

I made a posting in the Cars and Trucks section .... ok2
-
I had to paint the gantry white even if it was white .... not all ABS profiles have the same white .... so I painted it today. I also glued all wires with paint to the gantry.

It's a good idea to paint white plastic, even white, as plastic can yellow over time. As i found to my cost. <:(

Back at work!!!! Received my Jeep TJ Rubicon in 1/1 scale after Easter and had to play and drive it quite a lot! :}
First I made space in my workplace. Couldn't move around anymore ....

I really hope everything will work! I do not like making the electric part of the boats and I never try it out till everything is finished. I there is a fault in the wiring there is no chance to redo anything ....
-
Hi Danielle, have you a picture of the radar motors before you fitted them? allowing of scale they look very small and in the mast arms look very good
Mark

Sadly I do not have pictures ... but I have the link where I bought them. Diameter is 6mm length is 30mm with axle I think ....
(sorry german webshop)

These motors run very well at 1.5V for radars. If running faster they will get noisy and nasty in terms of sound ....
-
I am impressed at how clear you got your bench Danielle. They rarely stay that way for more than a few days I find. I look forward to seeing those radar units rotating. I am sure it will all work perfectly.
-
I normally work every day on the model but I had just enough. Before I give up and never finish it I took a break which gave me new energy to finish the model.
Today I wired the red/green position lights. I will glue the wires and cover them with paint.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/5D4D157F-BA55-4749-A831-33174A11DC30_zpsirez6tuo.jpg)

Then I connected the wires for the radars .... they work just fine.
I made a short video which can be found at the following link ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar481w_FaHQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar481w_FaHQ)

The Radar Video looks really good.
Len.

I agree - and turning clockwise as well - plus, I had to turn up the volume to hear the motors at all. Nice. :-))
Regards,
Ray.

Smooth and quiet. I like the way they are rotating at different speeds.

I'm guessing that was a happy coincidence (?) but agree that it added a touch of realism that really set them off ! Lovely modelling as usual Danielle !

Very realistic. :-)) Looks just right.
Well done

Off we go again .... glueing the position light to the mast and soldiering the wires ....

-
Today I finished the wiring ... I am happy that this part is finished. Now I can make all the details.
All wires are outside the mast on the original. So I did the same on my model.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/4423B15C-EBC6-4702-A28C-9E5B6A6C6182_zpsewpu91kk.jpg)

That is a marvellous mast Danielle. The wiring adds a lot of detail and makes it look quite realistic.
-
Thanks a lot!!! :-))
Today I built the GPS receiver and a searchlight (no function).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/FD72A2FE-75A0-4C20-8C31-C4CD8EB85BFA_zpsmqxdlun1.jpg)
Then I added 2 antennas on the mast and 2 on the reling of the wheelhouse.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/4A8F4A40-7E22-4F0B-A981-DBDAE0027CCF_zpseno5kbtv.jpg)

I have no motivation to finish her at the moment ... it took so long to get to this stage and now .... puffffffffffff .... no motivation left. There is only the wiring, RC stuff, divergents, nets and some color to be added .... maybe 2-3 weeks work .... well see ... %)
-
There is no need to rush Danielle. Have a short break and recharge the enthusiasm accumulators:O)
-
Back to finish the Loredana!
Today I made the hinges for the wheelhouse doors.
First I thought to leave them closed but then I see it as another nice detail to have them open or clese.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/29CF87F3-AC79-42D3-8E4E-AD887AB19B27_zpson29w8af.jpg)

-
I like the idea of working details on a model. It gives you an extra dimention of fun potential :-)
-
Good to see you back on this one.
As you have 2 doors, you could have one open and the other shut - best of both worlds. O0
Regards,
Ray.

Thanks a lot!!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
Today I added 3 LEDs fot the interior lightning. I may have to color them a little bit to tone down the usual harsh light. Wiring is finished but is hold in place by painters scotchtape. This will be changed later.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/2307AC9E-4C38-478B-AD96-94E01A2F1B67_zpsyht233b9.jpg)
Then I prepared the Radarmast so that it can be glued and screwed at its place.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/477E9B56-4A4A-4D74-8C60-77AAF5E33DE2_zpsy9fwrack.jpg)
I glued the hinges (doors) in place. Then I varnished the inside of the wheelhouse with clear shiny varnish.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/B35BA339-8032-4548-BFA0-6CD57028C909_zps1coi5fu0.jpg)
Time to get all these windows in place!!!! Maybe tomorrow....
-
Good idea to hold stuff in while testing it. I think we have all been there when the carefully fitted component then fails to work and you have to get it off, sometimes destroying it in the process :((
-
We'll see if everything works as planned .... did not tried it out sofar!!!! If the lightning of the deck does not work I am f@@@@d ....
Today I made the fixings for the trawldoors .... I will be happy to build a trawler in 1/16 or 1/10 scale or bigger so that I can make more details!!!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/missyd/MP%20Nuova%20Loredana/D6D14A9E-40E5-40B3-875E-398FF7F385E9_zpszb1zdhkk.jpg)

Hi Danielle, in fishing parlance the "trawl doors" would be called Otter Boards - hope this is of some use to you. :-)

Ray.

Very nice Otter boards Danielle. I wonder where the name came from?
-
All my pics have been blocked by Photobucket .... photobucket.com restricted my account .... I do not want to pay 39.99$/month to unblock them. Any idea of a good photoserver without the restrictions?
Update ... I found out that I can't even see my pics in my account on photobucket anymore. Unless I pay the 400$ all my pics are lost in all forums I posted them. All the hundreds of pictures gone forever .... I am shocked and I do not know what to do ....

Danielle,
I know there are others that also use some sort of photo hosting service of which I am not a fan off, because when you go to some of the older threads on here and on other forums, in some instances you can't see those photos. Ruins the thread.
However the photos posted from your own files such as from PC seem to be always available for viewing.
Bottom line you never have any control over photos etc unless they are 'stored' on a drive, be it external, that you alone control.
A lot will disagree but ??????????????????
-
You're right about the picture hosting. Ther where some 6-800 pictures of the Loredana on this hosting service.
-
Danielle,
You are not alone, see the thread here
http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=58456.new;topicseen#new
about it.
-
Never mind the s@@@ with photobucket ... I started to add the windows. The result is ok but not 100% perfect. Hope till I do the front ones I will be better.
Everything ready for action. I work at the dinner table as the work is rather clean and not too dusty.
(http://i.imgur.com/RwJoqXy.jpg)
The window sits flush with the outside! So it must be adapted to hold by itself in the opening. Always mark UP/L/R or you may end up with a lot of scrap windows.
(http://i.imgur.com/WLHdZDE.jpg)
That how I get the canopy glue (drying clear) to the window/wheelhouse walls.
Always secure the window at the ouside with some paintertape.
(http://i.imgur.com/Rw1lyTu.jpg)
After the glue has dried take away the tape nd do the same at the outside. You'll get cramps in your hand with this fiddly tip on the glue.
(http://i.imgur.com/vHb9T2x.jpg)
It looks ok ... not too bad ... 2 done 9 to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok2
-
Good progress Danielle, and why shouldn't you work at the dinner table from time to time? Its more social I think unless you are combining GRP work with aerosol spraying and then rightly one should be banished to another place preferrably outside :O)
-
You're right .... as I have all tools and machines in my workspace I do only some minor work at the dinner table like painting fine lines and the windows and maybe the electrics.
Finished the windows today!

Today I started painting the bow .... not an easy task because it can ruin all you work you have done with painting ....
(http://i.imgur.com/6uL0G2h.jpg)
After 1h covering up everything neccessary ....
(http://i.imgur.com/PAb1Yke.jpg)
I did start painting. First 2x with dark blue and the white was shining through. So I painted once with matte black. Let it dry for 30mins and added 3 layers of dark blue again. Perfect!
(http://i.imgur.com/vKaK5ta.jpg)
The result is well .... stunning. Never did I paint something so complicated so nicely.

Awesome paint job Danielle! A decal could not be sharper.
The tip to use a matt black base coat for the blue is good. I read recently that to make yellow cover better, add a little grey to it. It dulls it down a small amount, but gives it base.
-
Thanks a lot!!!! :-))
You're right about using another darker/lighter color beneath the actual paint. Grey under yellow worked well!!! It seems as I always have the wrong color as base.
Today the Loredana got its name and registry number ...
I shoud have had the whole stuff plottered but I couldn't find the right font for it. So I went for the one and only font that is avaiable in my shop.
(http://i.imgur.com/XjVlR4m.jpg)
A masking tape gives me the position of the registry number.

I think she is becoming Elegant Danielle. If you are thinking of a next project, I would build a yacht on that hull or one like it because as you said a few months back, the Italians do make an attractive hull even for a work vessel.
-
You're right ... nothing beats an elegant fishtrawler from italy. ok2
My next projekt in 1/16 scale is ..... Princess Loane a french fishtrawler. The original has a steel hull but I will convert it to a wooden one. At the end it should be a mix of this french hull with italian accents. I have pictures of a similar italian trawler .... so we'll see the result in 1-2 years time. Plans are ready to be modified.
She will be named "MADY JEANNE" in honor of my mom who died in 2015...

:o :o :o
What.
That is the beauty of timber the various grains and effects because it is a natural product.
To do what you suggest, namely, hide the timber, is to plaster the model with so much paint it may sink!!!!!!
Very strange comment as you can see the "wood structure" through the paint on real ships/boats, so why would a model be any different. %% %% %%
Having some wood working experience/aptitude I think it is a very good result but everyone is entitled to their opinion. O0 O0 O0
-
It's all about scale!
At 12" to the foot the woodgrain would be somewhat evident, but at smaller scales the grain should be be less evident, and in some scales, non existant.
As a professional model manufacturer of Model Railway kits in smaller scales, timber, as much I like it, can be a real problem, and grain needs to be eliminated totally in most patternwork for a realistic finish.
Timber used in coachwork is generally a planed finish, then painted, so grain is rarely seen. It also depends on the timber used, as some timbers are very boney and very hard to sand to a smooth even finish.
Ian.

If it looks alright from 1 meter distance it is alright!!! Have you ever seen a ship with such shiny flat surfaces as most modellers have? No .... this does not exist in reality (only maybe on super xxl-yachts).
Please build yourself a model fishtrawler without exact plans with no professional modellers skills and limited time and money .... I know from experience that such models I do have built catches a lot of attention.
-
Ok whatever,if you can't take criticism do what you like mate, been in the fishing industrie for 14 years in Belgium, so what do i know %) %) %)

So you have been 14 years in the belgian fishing industry?
Then you should know by experience that no fishtrawler made in wood or steel has a smooth shiny surface like you suggest I should have on my model .... ok2

Phew! I am pleased your electrics worked. Even if they gave you trouble, you do have lots of access to fix it.

I started with the wiring of the LEDs. First the ones in the wheelhouse .... works fine! I will tint the LED with Red and Green.
(http://i.imgur.com/sJ8Fwvg.jpg)
The I did the same with the position light on the mast .... toplight and white over green (trawling) are not working. Red over Red ist working but I do not need it ... I'll find a solution for this problem tomorrow. Actually I do need only the top light.
This all made me nervous and I decided to do a quick test of the LEDs of the working deck .... next pictures show the result!!!

FANTASTIC!!!!! :} :} :}
I was really afraid that something wouldn't work ... no way to fix anything without literally tearing apart the ship.
-
It only misses the smell of the fish Danielle! Brilliant work.
-
:-)) :-)) :-)) Maybe I should place a piece of fish inside the boat ... would create a very nice smell over the time .... :}
finished the electrics 100%!!!! Everything is now working as it should. Made a new toplight and get rid off all the wires I do not need anymore on the mast.
(http://i.imgur.com/sKD3DMv.jpg)
Wheelhouse light is way too shiny .... wil correct that tomorrow.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZNZHTFp.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/1fHcdxc.jpg)
Then I quickly made the 4 guy ropes out of rubberthread. They have a hook on one side so if I lift of the wheelhouse I can detach two guy ropes. I also added the italian flag. Sadly not the right one but better than no flag. I added some fenders and an old tire for the picture...

Now the following parts have to be done till saturday evening ....
- Ladder to the wheelhouse roof
- put some clear plastic sheet on the spotlights
- Radar detection thing ... looks like two pyramides ...
- Two ropes missing on the netwinch
- Tone down of some of the LEDs
- put her in the bathtub to see if she is still swimming or will sink faster than the Titanic!!!! ok2
If there is spare time left ....
- 2 Trawldoors
- 1 Fishing net
-
I reckon you'll get it all done with a bit of time to spare.
-
The way that you work and the speed and accurate modeling, Saturday will leave you bored with nothing to do !!!!!
-
Definitely looks the part, :-)) :-))
Liked the rudder linkage O0 O0
-
:-)) :-)) :-))
I have another project waiting ... I have my Jeep in the Garage ... I should find a job ... I could do nothing for a while ... ok2
What has to be done .... what can be done?
Ladder on the wheelhouse .... DONE!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/9XTQM3Q.jpg)
Two "ropeholder" at the stern ... DONE!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/7v9qzQJ.jpg)
Radarreflector-thing on the roof ... DONE!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/w9Eh1Lz.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/5amVvXJ.jpg)
The two tubes at the back that can be used when fishing with 4 nets ... DONE!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/38whMQK.jpg)
Testing the N. Loredana in the Bathtub ... DONE!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/qj7ZVPP.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/oqU64UE.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/UprfSjg.jpg)
CONCLUSION:
I can lift and carry the ship by myself. The wheelhouse has to be removed for safety reasons.
2 kgs of lead wheight where neccessary to get the stern down to a good waterlevel of 10mm over the estimated waterlevel. No, I wont build a hull with less weight.
The big propeller creates a lot of power in the bathtub. I hope it will also run very smoothly at low RPM.
The rudder is a little bit on the small side (original size scaled down). We'll see how it works at the lake.
The bow truster .... complete failure!!! Pump works and pumps but no movement .... stern is moving at snails pace .... the bow truster it has to go!!!
I'll take it out. With it also the RC controller and the wiring. This will save some 300-400g at the bow. Maybe 1kg (instead of 2kg) lead in the stern will do the job. I'll do another test tomorrow.
Maybe if I work like a maniac I can make the trawldoors and the net .... ok2
-
Leave the thruster tube and perhaps plate the shaft hole up and then remove the electrics saving you a little time to do those trawl doors and give the impression there is a Thruster there. It would leave no more or less drag then if it was working saving you needing to fill and paint the holes over %%
-
You're right .... within minutes it was removed from the hull ... :-))
Another test in the water .... I think I added some 1.5kg in the hull. More is not possible.
BTW the water from the bathtub is used to water the plants on our balcony.

Batteries and RC controller are ready for sundays modell show.

Lovely attention to detail even in the last moments of the build :-)) I am pleased that the removal of the thruster gubbins was a. easy, and b. didn't cause much damage and frustration at what is essentially the eleventh hour.
I hope your friend likes her, as it is a once in a lifetime gift.
God luck for the weekend, may your batteries run well and your tranmitter have a long range :}
-
Thanks a lot ...
My friend in italy asked if I could change the bow truster and make it work properly .... <*<
Another friend from Facebook asked why I didn't make all lamps working (red over red / green over red) <*<
I wont write my thoughts here ..... >:-o
I loaded the batteries. I think there is a problem with either the voltage or the RC-controller.
Everytime motor is turning, the rudder starts to move a little bit (Interferences?).
I changed tried to get the wiring away from the power wires but nothing changed.
I am thankful for all quick help. I have a couple of hours tomorrow to get things OK again. Even to make a quick dash to the local modellers shop.
Today I put some netting material on deck .... just for the show.

Hi Danielle, could be a faulty servo, can you change the servo to a spare and see if the problem continues???
Mark
-
No I do not have a spare one. To late to drive to the hobby shop and buy another one ....
Yesterday everything was working fine .... could it be that the batteries have more than 12V?
-
Could the batteries need charging??? quite common that low power causes servo twitching
Mark
-
Batteries are freshly loaded (yesterday).
-
Freshly loaded or freshly charged?? big difference, try a re-charge might save a trip to the modelshop, also have you checked that any plugs might have moved or are not making proper contact etc.
Mark
-
Sorry Mark ....
had them freshly charged ...
I just got rid of the pump ... no plugs used everything concerning the 12V supply is connected with screwed terminals.
-
No worries, what about the possibility that you have disturbed one or other plug into the receiver or slightly damaged the servo wires???
if it worked ok before the removal of the bow thruster its got to be in that area
Mark
-
Is the model still in the same room as it was before the problem occurred ?
It is just possible that something electrical or maybe magnetic is causing the interference %)
Regards,
Ray.
-
If you're indoors and too close to the receiver with your transmitter, the signal may overdrive (distort) and cause erratic behaviour.
Not sure whether this is your problem, but something to keep in mind.
-
Thanks a lot my friends!!! I will resolve the problem this week. Got worse at the lake. Impossible to go faster than 3/4 trottle without the servo doing funny jumps to the left and right .... {:-{
Never mind ... it will be solved soon!
-
Yesterday was the day for the launch of the N. Loredana. It was the yearly event of the GIT-Gruppo Idromodellistico Ticinese at the Lake "Lago Dosso" in San Bernadino southeast Switzerland.
Everything went well apart the problems with the RC. Couldn't go faster than 3/4 trottle. Never mind!!!!
The ship floats just like the original! Reaction of the rudder forward and rearward is just like an original fishtrawler. It is a wonderful model to see on the lake!
The 540Motor with 6:1 reduction gear and 80mm propeller gives the ship enough power in all situations without going too fast. There must be some 1800rpm at full trottle. Lights and turning radars add to the realism.
The non working bow truster wasn't a problem. Parking at a dock can be done easely if you know how to steer it the right way.
Going full speed forwards the ship looks just like the original one!!!!
Here some pictures of the ship ....

-
I resolved the problem with the radiocontrol .... the servo was tested (hellish to take it out) and is working fine. BEC is now from a 4x1.5V battery box. The battery box itself didn't help. So I gave some aluminiumfoil a change to help. I put the aluminium foil over all electrical wires (main 12V wires) and the motor. Both together resolved the problem perfectly.
-
She is so stable given her sleeker lines Danielle. I could see the relief and joy in your response at the end of the video!
It is interesting to look at the first few images of a build to see how far it has come, though Photo*ucket has managed to make that difficult >:-o

As she looked from the very start - a beautiful model Danielle, to be proud of !
One tiny niggle ! That flag looks really phoney sticking straight out ! If it is cloth could it be crumpled a tiny bit a bit like my wotsit on the left ? %)
Mike

Forget I said that ! Just been on Facebook and saw the lovely flag your friend has sent from Italy
Mike

Thanks a lot you two!!!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
After the show means repairs and updates ... I reworked the whole railings ... now they are more sturdy.
And the ladder to the roof was falling apart. Had to put some more plastic profiles on it.
(http://i.imgur.com/frgheAt.jpg)
My client wished that the red/red and whit/green lights on the mast work. I'll do that by taking out the LEDs and replacing them with 12V minibulbs. The wiring will be outside the mast as everything is glued and closed. I told him that before ...
(http://i.imgur.com/eutIIfi.jpg)
Hope he will like this option!

Can we see one of your models to see how it should be done then please!
-
Like i said before,looks good from far but don't look close <:(
Have you ever been on a fishtrawler????? Please show me your museum quality models .... {-)
Never mind .... its just a forum troll!!!!
If it looks alright from 1-2 meters .... THEN ITS ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
The light with the 12V bulbs are ready to be wired.
(http://i.imgur.com/FLpDuBp.jpg)
Testing ... I tested all bulb several time during the build.
(http://i.imgur.com/1bL385a.jpg)
I had to use tons of paint the mask everything a little bit .... for myself I wouldn't have done it!!!! It ruins the clear look of the mast!!!! {:-{
(http://i.imgur.com/WjC2Oo3.jpg)
The aint is drying and I did one half of the power supply cable.
(http://i.imgur.com/maygPfQ.jpg)
Tomorrow I will add the two switches and finish this ASAP.
-
Hi just ignore the troll ;) I think your model looks great in and out of the water O0
-
Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
But the only person who needs to be satisfied with a model, of any type is the builder.
In essence no model, this includes museum models are not 100% accurate representations of the real thing.
At best they are a 'look alike".
Won't go into the arguments here, why that is so.
However if it looks right which 'Loredana' does, then it is "right".
Keep up the good work, it looks even much better from where I am, even upside down. %% %% {-) {-)
-
hehe ... upside down!!! Good one!!!! :-))
The two switches for the lights where on the go today. I used the simple method of using two brass rods to activate the each switch!
(http://i.imgur.com/3zi3eMF.jpg)
Its a little bit messy under the roof .... al wiring in the hull is neat but I couldn't et it tidy here.
(http://i.imgur.com/scAuqh5.jpg)
I painted the missing Initials to the bow ... not my best work but my hands are getting older ....

Some very neat work being done here! :-))
I have two questions for you.
1. Where did you find or how did you go about making rope that looks so convincingly like the real thing as depicted on this image?
(http://i.imgur.com/kXKrnvP.jpg)
2. Another thing I always wondered: how do you go about making white print on dark background like this? This is something that puzzles me and I'm going to need it for my Imara build.
(http://i.imgur.com/Fi4W7Px.jpg)
-
Thanks a lot!!!
1) The ropes are made by myself .... I used the following rope making tool: http://modelexpo-online.com/ropewalk-scale-rope-making-tool-model-sh (http://modelexpo-online.com/ropewalk-scale-rope-making-tool-model-sh)
But I did change it to my needs. I can make ropes as long as the biggest room in my flat ... some 5-6m long. I have plans ready to make ropes with a selfmade professional machine just like they use today ....
2) All lettering was made with adhesive letters. But I did only found this style of letter. Maybe using a professional plotter service they could plotter any style of letter.
This Video shows a good working rope machine .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=024aWbB2fwE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=024aWbB2fwE)

Great, thank you, Danielle!

Off we go with another project for the Loredana ...
First I cut half of a piece of driftwood into slices ....
(http://i.imgur.com/8fYeHE0.jpg)
Then I used my bandsaw to cut the slices into blocks .....
(http://i.imgur.com/CyvDo9r.jpg)
The other half was cut into boards .....
(http://i.imgur.com/KJN9zMU.jpg)
And then into beams ....
(http://i.imgur.com/pMeNjPI.jpg)
No I wont write what it will be in the end at the moment .... ok2
-
Given she is curently on her build cradle, I reckon you are making her proper cradle.
-
That's mighty dry drift wood Danielle %)....with all of those blocks......could you be building a dry dock style mounting with the axis base of the hull settled resting on the blocks?.... & a few tapered wedge supports for the sides of the hull ;)
Derek
-
Yes!!! :-))
I will build a dock style base. Base will be a dark acacia board and with the nice color of the driftwood blocks and beams .... should look very nice.
I wont be possible to use it as a transport cradle but it will look fantastic in the living room. ok2
-
Here some pics of building the baseplate .... The ship will sit horizontal (the deck) on it and not the keel like it is in reality ...
(http://i.imgur.com/wJfOKth.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/itulfit.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/cN0q3u4.jpg)

Danielle....it is of course common practice for vessels of such size and design of the Nuova Loredana to rest in the dock with the deck being a nominal horizontal reference as level, however as we would hate some retired Dockmaster to inspect the arrangement & then suggest >>:-( it is all wrong
In real drydocks...there is a specific way sawn blocks are placed or oriented, and with all things being equal, the heart of a tree specie is the oldest and therefore the hardest
1. The heart of the block is in the horizontal plane and athwart ships. This allows the weight of the ship to compress the block without any splitting action. This also provides a cushioned consideration against the hull
2. If the blocks were placed with the heart in the horizontal plane, but with the heart running from bow to stern, the weight of the vessel would tend to split the blocks
3. if multiple blocks are used, the heart is staggered on/off, but always with the heart in the horizontal plane ....thus adding mechanical strength to the assembly of blocks
4. If multiple blocks are used, the uppermost top blocks contacting the hull are aligned as per point 1.
5. If multiple blocks are used, they are gang nailed to stop movement prior to the vessel being lowered to the blocks
Derek
-
That's what I like about Mayhem - you never stop learning ! :-)) :}
Mike
-
Come on!!!! These ships are placed by these 100-300t craddle cranes on a level surface on any kind of wooden blocks or upright standing pieces of steelpipes .... I've seen it myself. They even use parts of treetrunks to support the ships .... everything hold together by gravitation from earth or some wedges hammered in between blocks and hull or maybe the weight of the ship ... I stood under the hulls when it was raining or to be in the shade if the sun was burning down too hot.... never mind .... it has to look good in the living room and there is no need to be correct in tecnical sense .... ok2
-
Obviously Danielle you are not familiar with the teachings in the Old Testament ...maybe Genenis 5:33 ;) where Noah berated the Head Carpenter of the Dockyard for not aligning the wooden blocks in the dock in the correct orientation prior to the letting down of the Ark
From this I can only suggest that some things were important to some people :-))
-
Derek,
Am in full agreement with your treatise on the use of raw lumber as in days of olde.
In Danielle's case the trawler's dead load would be insufficient to exceed the 'Carrying' capacity of the 'logs'.
Very interesting commentary, nevertheless.
-
In our shipyards, the lighter the load the softer the timber chosen O0..................and who would need log splitters if the Dockies weren't on their....... <*< toes ?......Derek
-
FINISHED! I decided not to make a version like in real life but to make one that can hold the weight of the ship without breaking ....
Actually I am fed up with this ship and I can't see it anymore! I will not build another model ship for a friend. Never again!
... ok still 2 trawldoors to be made .... {:-{

Thank you very much to you all!!!!! Its always a pleasure to write down what I have done at the end of the day! :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
Today, 06:00 I received a private message on facebook from my client (he works on a offshore supply ship and does not have internet connection all the time).
He wanted the following parts added to the ship:
- 2 palettes on the bow
- 4 special drag nets (see pics) I think I would need 3-4 weeks to make them.
(http://i.imgur.com/2KFsy4p.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/PC5LuFX.jpg)
- The net boom are wrongly attached to the net gantry.
I said OK for the palettes.
I told him there is no way I would make the nets (all pics from the original shows it without but with net/trawldoors equipment.
The booms can be fixed differently with no problem
I made the palettes in a hurry as I just can't do any more work on this boat.

never noticed these comments before, but not really called for IMHO.
I heard a quote from a friend some time ago about negative criticism which went something like............"if you can do better then go away and show me"
But no one has the right to criticise when they themselves cannot come up with the right spelling for something.......

Thanks a lot to you all!!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
Lucky me I copied the Furuno radar decal directly from their homepage .... no misspelling there!! :}
I was bombarded with PNs from my customer today. I told him I wont change anything nor build anything new ... I also told him I can return his prepaiment and keep the ship myself, which would be happy to be in my livingroom!!!!
Ok today I fixed the netbooms on the ship.
First I made some holding arms for the boom. The held the arm firmly to the ship as the opening are a little bit smaller than the diameter of the boom.
(http://i.imgur.com/u6kSeJJ.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/EvaW6dO.jpg)
I colored the fine rope with some mix of rustbrown and black acrylic paint.

Finished!! The booms can be taken off and placed on deck. Only the wireropes to the deck are permanently fixed to the sip.

Stick to your guns, he's got what he asked for, not to keep adding things to the list.

customer is King,but not with you i reckon <*< <*<
-
Maffen, let us help you out with your grammar!
You should start the sentance with 'The' and not just 'customer'........plus use a capital at the start of a sentance!.........So......
The customer is king...........(note no capital used for king).
Next mistake is the missing space after the commer, such basic errors.......tut tut.........again.
The customer is king, but not with you..........and another grammatical error, you should have used another commer after 'you', thus.
The customer is king, but not with you, ........oh dear another mistake Maffen, the use of the lower case i is incorrect, you should have used a capital 'i' like this 'I', now let's see how it works now.
The customer is king, but not with you, I reckon...........oh dear you missed out the full stop at the end to finish the sentance. Shall we do it for you?
The customer is king, but not with you, I reckon.
There you go Maffen, not very difficult is it?
Now when you have mastered the art of the English language, I suggest you crawl back under the rock you came from and not bother us again with your drivel.

Another detail added .... ok2
Its a holder for the spare Dragnets on the upper deck. This deck was a little bit empty and so I made something nice.
There is a similar one on the working deck. But there I can't put one in because if I open the lid with the winch on it ... I "park" it on the working deck. I made the winch so low that it fits including the lid into this space.
First I made a drawing and made a wooden helper to glue all pieces together, then I cut all pieces from ABS profiles.
(http://i.imgur.com/6bRGS4s.jpg?1)
Everything is glued with the right angles.

With a candle I heated up the ABS Plastic very careful and then bend it by hand till it was alright.

As usual I have only 3-4 pictures of the trawldoors .... I build not the usual italian trawldoor made of wood. I have only one picture of the Loredanan which shows a part of a trawldoor ....

Excellent work especially the ribs Danielle. The doors will add lots of interest to an already interesting model.
