Hallo everybody
I allready have build a dutch fishingtrawler but since that's finished I was looking for a new project. On an English site trawlerphotos I started looking for a new ship to build.

Starting the weathering of the hull. I make use of the salt-chip effect. First you give the hull al layer of 'rust' then you wet te hull and sprinkle salt o it. Let the hul with the salt dry and then pray the colour on it. Then you let this dry for a day and then you brush the salt away and the 'rust' will pop out.

It didn't smell like that, believe me.

Here's how the hull looks now after again a bit of weathering.

Is it a static boat, ie not remote controlled.

Hello,
It's a static model. The model is made of solid mdf.

amazing techniques.thanks for sharing them......brilliant stuff. neil. :-))

Hello,
Is it possible that a moderator moves this discussion from R&D to buildingdiscussions? I misplaced it.

Have you been teaching eddiesolo {-)

The hull is almost finished but thats for later. First I gonna make a start with the superstructure
First I cut a base-plate and I attached it to the hull.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06867_zps579392bf.jpg)
After this I glued strips of styreen to fit some horizontal strips on it. On this I will later glue the deck.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06868_zpsaa56f557.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06876_zpsb959780b.jpg)
After this I placed the deck.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06877_zpsc361cb2a.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06878_zps08a694ab.jpg)
Here's the start with the wheelhouse. It was very difficult becouse of al the different angles.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06880_zpsbf16dc4d.jpg)

(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06883_zps29fcd19a.jpg)
The reardeck in it's rough shape
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06884_zpsc197bcda.jpg)
And the sides are glued on.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06886_zps6e2f6b8d.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSC06888_zps80da7388.jpg)
After this I used al lot of filler and sanding to make all things smooth. It's a little bit strange, just e few words and pics for so much work. But I hope you enjoy watching the pics.
Kind Regards, Kees

Great work
Im enjoying this very much

The bread and butter method seems to simply the hull construction. :-)) :-))
Interesting subject and build O0 O0 O0

Hello,
It's a static model. The model is made of solid mdf.
Kees
I'm glad you cleared that up, I was going to say with that amount of mdf it will float like a brick! It must weigh a ton already. Love the weathering technique, you have that down to a fine art. There are not many boats made that show typical weathering, to my mind they look as though they have just been launched and not had a hard life at sea.
Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more. For more ideas on weathering you might want to take a look at a plastic model site called Armorama, its mostly tanks etc but the weathering section and the diorama section are wonderful to read.
-
Fantastic work and I just love your hull weathering!!!!!! Have to try it out myself on the F/V Cornelia Marie!!!! :-))

I have done some more work on the FR-927. Now I have more fun in building because of all the detaills I have to build.
Kind regards, Kees de Mol

This time I had to make the powerblock. Is a difficult construction to build but it's very satisfying. No more words now, just pics.

I love to see detailing shots like this Kees........it gives inspiration and ideas to those who "think" they can't detail, but in fact have the knowledge and skills to do so, but just don't know where to begin...........well done...
It's a brilliant thread, with a brilliant build, and an inspiration to all modellers and shows that you don't need to be a brass turner, engineer or master modeller............just patience and the normal every day pieces and plastics/wood that we all have around our workshop.
Well done Kees, and apart from the weathering of the hull (as I like my models looking pristine....but no bad reflections on yourself.............) it has given me impetus to get out in my workshop and get cracking..........been a bit lethargic lately.
cheers, neil. :-)) :-)) :-))

@ Neil: Thank you for your comment. I really agree with you. Put away that Playstation and build something you can be proud of.

Last weeks I did a few things on the FR-927. I made the net-roll, the roof on the bridge and the windows. Hope you enjoy watching the pictures. Next updat will be the chimney.

Some more progression on the FR927. The boat has some kind of chimney wich is not a chimney. But it looks cool and you can put some antenna's on it. Also made a life raft.

Very very informative O0 O0 O0
Obviously the sequence of fabrication is the key to scratch building.
For example applying the "bolts/rivets" to the base plate first.
No doubt it is this sequencing that deters a lot from scratch building.
Looking forward to next instalment O0 O0 O0

I never thought of that but I think you are right. But it will happen that I forget to make something so I have to make it afterwarts when it's more difficult. (i hope you can read what i say because my English is not very well >>:-( )

Hellooh sailors!
Something completely different today: This morning the first deckhand for the FR-927 knocked on my door fot a jobintervieuw. I hired him but on condition that he will get een nice matt finish first
Meet Niels...

For a first attemt to make and paint a figure I am satisfied with the results. On the photo it's not very good to see that I used diverse shades of paint to create some depth on the figure.
Groeten, Kees

gotta say............I love his tattoos............they can be painted over, lol {-) {-) {-) {-)
-
I must have missed this one at the start of the build - you have some really good ways of making things O0
Hope to see more soon...
Regards,
Ray.

The character is very successful
It is Freddy Mercury?

Well with the hand up like he does he must be a little gay so may be it's his coussin? :police:

This is a very impressive build!
But MDF? Ugh, I hate that stuff. It's just chemical gloop and wood fragments squeezed together in some nightmare amalgam of pure yuck. It's horrible.

I think there is no need to hate MDF. That's wath they said about plastic a couple of years ago.
Just to make sure: This model will be a static model

Yup keep it static MDF and water do not like each other even glassed, painted and varnished. Don't ask!

Hi all,
Due to holidays and other cases, the work on the trawler for a while stood still, but that has now changed. Still several issues had to be made on the deck. I'm not sure what to call everything, but it is mainly rolls where the fishing lines come out and where the lines are led back. A railing with control for winch and three hatches and a winch made.
After this I must still make the railing and some small things and then the building is almost finished and it needs to be painted only.
In the pictures I show only the new stuff so you can see what's new.
The beginning of a winch

Hello people
Today continued with the factory of the bulwark. The legs must be made and aligned and that was lots of work. I have glued the feet to the deck with a mould (after I had measured out where to stand, of course) and then the horizontal pipes fitted.
Because Cyanoacrylaat-glue adheres poorly on brass I have every bonding later touched with a bit of epoxy glue.
It looks nice, and things are properly aligned. The building is now ready apart from some minor things, and so we can start painting.

Even the name MDF, Yuk

Is Medium Density Fibreboard better? I think it's because I am a little bit younger than you people. Elderly people and new materials has always been a problem %%
-
I'm not elderly, just experienced!! :kiss: Call it what you will keep MDF away from water whatever you use it for. Oh and wear a mask when cutting and sanding.
-
keep MDF away from water whatever you use it for.
That's absolutly true. I use it for a static model but would never use it for an rc-model. For my static model model I have no problem with it. My father build his first model with mdf some 15 years ago and it still looks very good.
Hope I didnt offended you, I tried to make a joke.
Now on with the boats. I am currently painting the skipper who will be on the bridge
Kind Regards, Kees

Hope I didnt offended you, I tried to make a joke.
No problem hence the smiley :-))

Lately, I have been painting the second figure that will be placed on my ship. It's Captain Job and he will soon be found on the bridge. I think it's successful and I've at least had fun painting.

At this moment I've come a little further with the boat. First I build some trawldoors. They are used on the trawlnet as a rudder to keep te net open.

(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/P1010728_zps4ae0588f.jpg)
After this I started the paintwork. The first staps are done but it is off coarse not ready yet. The weathering will take a lot of time and work. In this first stap I use the 'saltflake methode'.

Have you considered Hi density foam? its much eaier to work than MDF?

Thanks for the tip. I will consider it for my next build

The past few days I worked on the crane with powerblock. It's being used for hauling(?) the nets in.

Hi Kees de mol,
That weathering finish is fantastic, and very realistic, with dents and buckles too I notice. I am going to look up what the 'Salt flake method is'. Superb ability.
Regards,
John

The next job was the netroll. I started painting and weathering and after this I placed the net on the roll. Voor netting I use bathsponges wich have nice netting if you cut the string holding them together. I also painted and weathered the trawldoors wich are made from aluminium so no rust this time.

That's a real first class job of weathering :-))

At this rate she will soon be on the slips getting a new paint job %) %)

A friend of mine ran a trawling company. He used to describe the fleet hull colour as 'sunset gold' – rust.

An excellent job Kees - very well done :-))
...and you have given us all a fascinating insight to weathering techniques O0
...and nicely finished off with some atmospheric photographs - your model does not look out of place on the beach 8)

great job if you want the real one its for sale :-)) http://www.findafishingboat.com/macduff-super-ten/DB62989 (http://www.findafishingboat.com/macduff-super-ten/DB62989) regards ray

For half that price I'll sell you mine :-))

Looks fantastic!
I dont know if you've seen this method but something similar to your salt flake technique is to use hairspray. Theres a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CNFdEZnQN8&list=UUNFwUnVfLwM8THyohoQXBAQ
