In this buildinglog I will present you the build of the Dutch beamtrawler KW88, Pelikaan.
42,35 x 8,50 x 5,16 mtr
Build in 1999 as the UK 153, Lun Senior, sold in 2007 and named KW88, Pelikaan.
Motor: 2000HP Deutz
The ship has sumwings and uses an electric pulse system The sumwing are like wings and do not touch the bottom. With electric pulse the fish jumps of the bottom and ends in the net.
I started collecting information, photo's and drawings a few months ago and now I am at the point that I can actually start with the build.
I have a complete set of original drawings and almost 500 photo's
It will take some time before I start building this ship because I want to finish the KW49 first.
First some photo's of the ship.
As the UK 153

Hello everybody,
At this moment I have done a lot of work for this model allready. Lots of work will not be vissible when she is ready but is inevitable to get a realistic model. But how good is the feeling when you have (after all the work) a fysical hull in your hands wich look svery good. On the pictures you see the wooden model of the hull. They call this the plug and I will use this in the future to make a polyester mould arround it so I can make multiple hulls out of it. I do this because I want to make two of the same models and maybe I can sell some hull later to other modelbuilders.
The pictures
Here you see a lot of copys of the lineplan to make templates for the longitudinal cross-sections (does that make any sense? I used Google translate so blame them if not.... (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png) )
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSCF0089_zpsg0wruawf.jpg)
The templates are ready to trace them on the wood
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSCF0091_zpsqkgxhxmb.jpg)
The wood (triplex 3,5mm)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSCF0093_zpsqnh38yrh.jpg)
All templates traces on the triplex
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSCF0094_zpsu2qvrhmg.jpg)
The gluing of the longitudinal cross-sections. I pay attention that they are on the correct line and place according the drawings.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSCF0095_zpscrfqzzqn.jpg)
And here all the sections together and the top-part glued in places
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/DSCF0096_zpsdo0dzfca.jpg)
And then with the help of several powertools and a lot of sanding by hand sanding the shape of the hull. I have to do this very carefull so I wont sand to much. Most of the finishing I do by hand because you have more feeling and it gives a better result.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/11377232_674912859319027_6879283986863915905_n_zpsw0mrrive.jpg)
(Okay I admit. The sander was not even turned on. My wife made an ACTION-picture. But you can see I lost weigt tough (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png) )
It's getting shape
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/11393198_674913165985663_219205978233720656_n_zpsjfeygtlp.jpg)
And then after a lot of sanding and filling (lots of times) you see the result. Its nice and smooth and ready for further finishing.

Thank you for watching, like-ing and reply-ing. The build is on and more updates will follow soon!
Kind regards, Kees

I started working on the beamtrawler again. In the summer it's just to hot at the attic so I can't build there. I have done some home improvement instead and build some showcases for a friend.
I sanded the hull and painted her with epoxy and the sanded her again. She has a babyskin now, soft and smooth. I also made a start with the halfround and the spraydeck.

Added registration numbers and did some other jobs on the hull. Next job will be mould-making for wich I bought polyester and other stuff.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/12006269_729634107180235_559454326255334628_n_zpsgxgcynbi.jpg)

Cooling at the outside of the hul. I also finishes the bowplate and some other things. Just decided to make a keel also before making the moulds. Than every hull will be complete with keel.

More work done on the KW88.
Prepare the moulds for laminating. It will be a two part mould. First I will prepare and laminate the first half and after that I will remove the wooden plate and laminate the second half. I have never done this before so it will be exciting. It will take some weeks before I can show the results.

hi kees another fantastic build in the making :-))
kees was there a small beamer model in kit form (cast resin) i remember seeing it somewhere have you seen it any where? regards ray
-
Maybe this one? http://www.nautischbureauwoort.nl/viskotter_tx_9.html (http://www.nautischbureauwoort.nl/viskotter_tx_9.html) They will also release a model of the UK 197 a modern beamtrawler

Just joining the other responders to say your work is very high standard Kees - hope I can learn some of the techniques you are using. :-))
Regards,
Ray.

What a beautiful ship, and absolutely astounding workmanship.
I can only dream of ever acquiring half the talent to do something like this, but it is fascinating to see how you do such work.
Thank you for showing us all your expertise.
Jim.

Hello Everybody.
Working on the wheelhouse. Lots of work and time but very rewarding.

Hello fellow shipbuilders,
Meanwhile I made the roof and the so-called "Pet" and that makes the bridge really complete. It was very hard to find the correct shape and it took me more cardboard and ps plate than I wanted. But at the end it worked out well.

If you look closely you can still see something I've been working on. Something which will be nearly vissible when the model is ready.

Hello
Thanks for watching my buildingreport and for the support I get from you. Not only in this report but in forum as whole. Your buildings really encourage me to build.
I worked on the Pelikaan again. On the wheelhouse I wanted something to watch at so I started building an interior. It's meanth to be scematic and it is not on scale. But I think it looks good later when you look trough the small windows of the wheelhouse

not much enthousiasm here.
The winch took me more than 8 hours to build. I want to build more models so I wanted to make resin catings of it
For both materials (silicons and resin) there is an A and a B component. You have to mix them 1:1 and then casting.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_174632_zpsiy3ijq4v.jpg)
I first made a silicon mould which I leave to harden for two days and then I went casting.
Weighing the components on a scale
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_174701_zpsqg5z41le.jpg)
Then mixing very wel without airbubbles but quick because the resin hardens very fast (2 minutes)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_174852_zpsptnl8xs6.jpg)
Then casting.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_174915_zps4ujid4by.jpg)
I tried to remove the bubles with a toothpick. Thats works good
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_175120_zpsrs7j6dna.jpg)
Everuthing very fast because the resin hardens very quick. The white glaze is the area where the resin starts to harden
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_175113_zpsdsexhaoq.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_173637_zps9ypxuihk.jpg)
After 30 minutes you can remove the parts from the mould.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_173707_zpszg2toyma.jpg)
After two huors and some sanding I had 3 copies. And some hatches too
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_182729_zpss37zdy46.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20151230_173824_zpsrgt8zova.jpg)
I am very satisfied with the endresults. Only the first winch and hatches did need some more attention because I didnt removed the airbubbles the first time. But nothing serious, just some filler and sanding to make them right.

Your wheelhouse interior is marvellous. Great build log too.

Great build :-))
How are you cutting the windows out?

New mould in the making
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160101_194128_zps6iser3zq.jpg)

The mould cured well. It's the mould for the collectingbins where the fishermen empty the net in. There are two bins and the skipper can empty them in a central bin from where there is a conveyor-belt to move the fish to the workdeck.

And its separated. Alle went well and I have a good mould
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/1935601_769708989839413_7152210469719137623_n_zpsk3ylvfnj.jpg)
Here the mould is poured with resin. The left over I poured in another mould so I dont spill any resin
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/943808_769709019839410_7465039444175076452_n_zpsai0bhoqu.jpg)
**** I did spill some resin and you can see its curing.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/10414501_769709039839408_7541233240145180643_n_zpsnevbeiu9.jpg)
The resin is curred. This takes a few minutes but I wait a hour before I demould the casting.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/1928921_769709059839406_5998564800811207721_n_zpsxw2eo7zk.jpg)

Drill some holes to let the air in the mould
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/10376329_769709139839398_2181548257540710955_n_zpshhdgh6vd.jpg)

And here I have another good resin cast. The walls of the bins are 0.3mm thick. Almost no trapped airbubbles so I am very happy.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/10410_769709246506054_4950809326122235009_n_zpshdtuhbsz.jpg)

You have been pushing the envelope on resin casting kees! I missed the start of this build but I am glad I found it as the subject is very attractive.
I wish you good luck with your build, I will be following it with interest. Can you show us your milling machine? it looks mighty interesting.
-
Excellent Kees!
I visited the silicone and more website and was very pleased how much Dutch I can still read.it does me good to keep it up now and again.
Unfortunately with the amount of products I wasn't sure which ones you use to make the silicone moulds! There appears to be different kinds and colours and I'm not sure which to buy to try and do what you did.
I see you buy a liquid silicone and a hardner please could you give me some product numbers.
Same for the resin. I just wish to try and make some simple boat features less than 3cm thick for example.
Thanks for any help. U2

I use the yellow silicon
http://www.siliconesandmore.nl/nl/products/siliconen-a-transparant-41.html (http://www.siliconesandmore.nl/nl/products/siliconen-a-transparant-41.html)
And the D70 PU resin
http://www.siliconesandmore.nl/nl/products/pu-polyurethaan-gietsysteem-set-d70-snel.html (http://www.siliconesandmore.nl/nl/products/pu-polyurethaan-gietsysteem-set-d70-snel.html)
You can buy it per kilo (500 grams A-component and 500 grams B-component)
Take in mind that the PU-resin has a limited expiration date
-
Kees your work is nothing short of brilliant and an education. I will be following your work & ideas to the end. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & expertise so freely, Mick B.
-
Thanks for that Kees I think I would like to give that a go. I'll be following the rest of this build with interest.

The chimney has a simple shape at first glance but I got some drawings of it and then you find out its a rather complex shape. There are some curved, round shape which run into each other. And there are some details which form a nice challenge to me.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/11156826_693570724102663_1476218069_n_zpss2xppbfj.jpg)
First I had to build a chimney from polystyreneplate
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160102_151755_zpskbsow4f9.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160102_155300_zpshprwzdef.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160104_130443_zps0cdeuiam.jpg)
And then the battery of my camera went dead so no more pictures from the building.
Like the other parts I need more chimneys so I started building a mould. It was hard to find out how I had to do this and I ended up building a 2-part mould from which one part had to cut at one side.
Here one part of the mould is curing. I had to use lots of silicone so with the other part i made some inserts to save on silicones.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160105_233146_zpspdtwrilh.jpg)
Here are the two parts of the mould. You can see the left part has an incision. The parts I place on each other and then I place the red plastic around it to support the mould.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160108_172102_zps31uqshpo.jpg)
Later I find out that the mould contains some bubbles on some section. These bubbles will be in the castings too so thats a bummer. It is because of the 2-part mouldmaking. Only a vacuummachine can solve this but thats very expensive.
The casting. First I cast the thin upper part with 20grams of resin. With a thootpick I add some resin to the details in the thicker peace to avoid bubbles in the next casting.
After that I cast the thicker part whit 30grams resin and 30grams filler to save on the resin.
And then te results
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160108_150921_zpszb15h4rk.jpg)
Some flash but this is very thin and can be removed easily
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160108_150934_zpsotfzsqxp.jpg)
The place where the bubbles are.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160108_151010_zpsapgfi7rq.jpg)
And then in 1,5 hours I got 4

offcourse I will add the details later
-
Here I made a start with the winchhouse. I couldn't build this without the original drawings I got. The polyester hull is also a bit closer to completion but I will post the photo's when I have some more results.

To be continued
-
great work kees seeing you made a mould's are you going to make a beam trawler kit? that would be great if you did ill buy one for sure :-) regards ray
-
If I complete the moulds for the hull maybe.
-
I went building on the chimney's. They needed lots of detaills after I had cast them. They are finished for 75% now so I have some work to do yet.

See you with the next up-date
-
Hi Kees, great stuff! How many boats are you building?
-
At this moment I am building three models. All from the same ship.
Kind regards, Kees
-
I finished the searchlights. Lot of parts and very small to make. I also used the lathe to make some signal lights (the glasses) There are 13 glasses per chimney. I made a toolbit to make the pattern in the clear plastic.

And I made some decals to make the model a little bit more realistic.

Next update i hope to show the finished chimneys
-
Today I did the last things to the polyester mold. I cut all the edges sanded and everything. Then it was time to find out if both halves of the mold wanted to separate. First I very carefully put a chisel between the halves and into the gap I tapped wooden wedges. It took some time and effort but suddenly The first halve separated from the wooden hull and after some tapping the other half released.
I am very happy because it was quite a lot of work and it was very exciting if everything would work the way I wanted.
Here some pictures from begin till now

Thank you all for the motivations {:-{
Today I finished the Self Inflatable Liferafts. I remeber my father (who was a fisherman) called them dinkys. It has two plastic shells which are bond together and in between is the liferaft. The liferaft is stored in a steel cage which can be tilted over to release the raft in the sea. In the water the raft inflates and a rope keeps the raft close to the ship.
A picture of a raft

The rafts. I made on to use it as a mould and then I casted more in PU resin.

Hi Kees, I have just seen your posts. The designer must have been a fine art student at heart as the funnelmast is a work of art. You must have sworn and cheered in equal measures whilst recreating it.
Wether you make it a kit r not, the detail will be fantastic considering the life raft containers and their holders and the searchlights.
Classy work Kees :-))
-
Thank you. The funnelmast was a challenge but I had the original drawing fortunately. Now the rigging will be a big challenge in the future.
-
What an inspiration you are Kees, wonderful workmanship.
I love the idea of your homemade router/milling machine....any more details about it?
will be watching this build further, I love the ship, and need some more pushing to get me motivated.
well done Kees.

Some result so far

Very nice looking hull you have there :-) :-)) :-)

For the trawler I needed a propellor and usually I buy these at the hobbystore but this time I couldnt find what I was looking for and the props I found were expensive (around 15-20 euro's). I need three so it would be a very big gap in my budget.
I looked on the internet for pictures of propellors but there were mostly beautiful new and shiny and thats not the way I wanted them.
And this is the way I like to build and paint them. This ship has fished for two years now before she went in the drydock
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/12805834_1705828853034018_257908672683134963_n_zpsk7kmjybs.jpg)
I started with strips of styreen which I heated and shaped in the right shape. After that I made the shaft with the cuts for the blades
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160308_181750_zpsonjypu4f.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160308_181739_zpslubsb6w9.jpg)
After some glueing I used some Milliput to make a smooth curve from the shaft to the blade. So it looks like a casted one
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160310_155807_zpszd3sgowi.jpg)
Here the first paintwork. I used an aluminiumcolour with pigements to get the colour Ik wanted. After this I gave the props a protective coat of varnish
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160310_180344_zpsaxgawhlv.jpg)
Than I went on painting with oilpaint. I want to weather one prop like its in use for years and the other two will get some lighter weathering.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160310_200643_zps5zimvldn.jpg)
-
And then the results. I can not capture the right colours in the pictures but I am very content

Fascinating, as usual. I'm picking up plenty of tips, thanks.
-
I do like the finish on thse props Kees!
-
What a brilliant idea to use the plastic cups to get the taper for the Kort nozzles. I have filed that away for future use!
-
Awesome, absolutely awesome. Well done...........

Ik started building the mast of the ship (In Holland we call it the voor(front)portaal but I dont know how it's called in English). I had some very good drawings whitch were printed out (very kindly by the guy who gave me the drawings) in scale 1/75. At first sight I thought it wouldn't be a lot of work and my plan was to post the mast here totally finished but I found out it was loads of work so I make an update to show how far I am now.
I started gluing some styreen together and soon ther was a nice mast born at the attick.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_173720_zpseuivflbr.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160323_205631_zpsfw4iid90.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160323_205640_zpsyeemvvvb.jpg)
And I had to make some stairs. I had bought some stairs in the hobby store but then I found out the stairs had an angle so my ready made stairs weren't good to use
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_172413_zpsd6yzh0nk.jpg)
Yes the green label shows the price of this steel ruler (50 cents in the second handshop) Did I told you I like the secondhandshop very mutch (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png)
Some soldering with my stone age solder station (second hand shop (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif))
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_195538_zpsnjeejxke.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_203726_zpstvwsrxhp.jpg)
If you are not good at soldering.... Use LOTS of S39 (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dancetl6.gif)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_210109_zps0dvaj2tb.jpg)
And now I had to cut the stairs apart and sand them to make them smooth
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_210333_zpsari4vhqd.jpg)
Yes!
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160324_213342_zpsjmcxirnw.jpg)
And then I did some installing things to fit them on the masts and it turned out well. (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/pirate41.gif)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160327_193713_zpslk26blfz.jpg)
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160327_193720_zpsqeco1vtt.jpg)
The masts are not ready but I hope to show them finished in my new update.
Kind regards
-
Some progress just because I am proud of it. I made the trawl-beams and glued them to the mast.
The most work is in installing the ridiculously small led's On every mast are just 5 led's but it was a total nightmare to place them and their wiring. But it works (http://modelshipworld.com/public/style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif) I hope to make a small vid for you later.

Good lord that is fine work Kees. I especially love the pivots on the ends of the masts. Excellent :-))
Regarding your old soldering iron? As long as it does what it is meant to do and without being harmful, then its still the right tool for the job.
-
What you have created is a work of art. Such brilliant use of plastics and metals. Obviously, you can be justifiably proud of your achievement. Well done Kees. O0 :-))
Just one question, if I may - what is the S39 ? (my soldering is terrible)
Regards,
Ray.
-
Thank you. The S39 is solderingfluid/flux to make the soldering easier

Thank you. The S39 is solderingfluid/flux to make the soldering easier
Thank you Kees, I'll look around - bound to be sold somewhere local, I hope...

Ray.

Truly wonderful work - it's lovely to watch this build O0
S39 is on my shopping list.
Dave
-
Kees, I love making things, I think of myself as a patient person when it comes to making models but your patience is 100 x more than mine. I will say it again your work is awesome, my jaw literally dropped O0 .
Imagine if Kees and Radio Joe opened a shop together it could be called real life in miniature! Well done you are proud and so you should be. U2
-
S39 is on my shopping list.
Dave
Watch out with S39 when you want to solder electronics. Because it is acidious it will damage the electronics in time. I use solderingwire with a resin (flux 3,5%) core to solder leds and stuff. But for brass and copper constructions S39 is the right thing to use.
-
but your patience is 100 x more than mine.
<*< While building the mast I had more then 100 times the urge to smash everything to very little pieces. I am not a very patience person but thats maybe why I have this hobby.
Cheers, Kees
-
I know that feeling ha ha ha...... I'm so glad you didn't though! {-)
-
Thank you all for your enthousiasm
I worked on the masts and they are finished now. I have build the reinforcemwent at the front of the masts.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160418_203637_zpsniblewry.jpg)
I also worked on the chanels where the fishinglines go trough. The lines come from the winch and go to the beams
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160418_204011_zpsyrnlog15.jpg)

(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160418_203646_zps3mcxydel.jpg)
And a picture of the whole package with al the resingcasts and polyesterlaminated parts. With this package I hope to make someone happy, a man who was very helpfull to me in the past.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160418_164726_zpser55l3pd.jpg)
Something funny. I used the last drops of pu resin that was left. But after casting this is what happened.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160418_164555_zpskxdnavmc.jpg)

Can't say I've ever seen anything like that happen before. I know the resins have a shelf life but would not have expected that kind of reaction. :o
Regards,
Ray.

Hello folks
I started to make some rigging for the model because there are a lot of blocks on this ship. The first ones to build are the jumperblocks. These are used to lift parts of the nets. Their shapes makes it possible to lift the nets, chains shackles, hooks and other stuff without damage.
A very bad picture of the originals
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160421_130443_zpsau8eeswa.jpg)
The housings cut out of thin brass sheet.
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160420_214856_zps7bvgui7d.jpg)
And then the rolls. I made these on my small lathe. First I formed a toolbit/chisel and then I made the form
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/keesdemol1/IMG_20160420_170543_zpsst9ykzz5.jpg)

It is now one year ago that I recieved the drawings for this model and soon after that I started building. It all takes some more time than I planned but the results are more important to me.
No building activity tommorrow because I hope to visit the Intermodellbau in Dortmund.
It will cost me money though....
So please dont tell the missus ;) %) ;D

Excellent work on the rollers Kees. Your standards are extremely high. O0
(gives me more enthusiasm to get on with my model building) :-))
Regards,
Ray.

Building more blocks. These single blocks look very simpel but I wanted them to look realistic ans made some work on them. I made 3x8=24 blocks (25 actually but there is a parts-eating monster somewhere in my hobbyroom.)
An example of the blocks. But there are very much different types and over the years the blocks changed.

And some results

It's always good to have a few spares as well Kees - breakages, losses etc... O0

One of the last things to build on this ship are the portals on the back of the ship. This portal is placed a few years after the ship was build. First there was a crane and a rubberboat
The portal is used for the two puleys that guides the pulswires to the nets
Here the placing of the portal

I admire your patience. Building everything 3 times must be driving you crazy. I once built 2 identical tugs and everything that I built the second time was better than the first. I kept the second built. I would not have the patience for 3 times.

Some progress on the sumwings, It's not an easy shape to make but I am satisfied with the wings I have now. After this I start adding the details (which are many) And then I want to figure out to find a way to make the fishingnets. (I eat lots and lots of garlic these weeks. Maybe next time I tell You why)

Garlic netting ok for scale ?
....don't see why not. ;)

Old fashioned ladies hair net, give it a try. nemesis
-
Wow, that mast just gets better and better! Was I the only one watching to see where your roller was going to fall when you were parting off? I often find that despite being careful at this pointthat the bit I parted disapearsinto the swarf!
Excellent work Kees.
-
Thank you all guys. Next time the complete sumwings and maybe more.

The sumwings are finished but not yet complete. That comes when I give them their final positions.

The more of your work you show, the more amazing it becomes - those oblique angled cut outs with the rigging eyes in them look like they will be quite strong which, of course, they would need to be. O0
Regards,
Ray.

Thank You all for the reading and comments
I went a litlle further with the structure of the back of the ship. It was more work than I expected because i want to make the structure removable because of the electric wiring for the numerous leds in the model.
No more talking... here are the provisional results (times three but I only show one)

Excellent progress Kees. Those Sumwings look unusual to the untrained eye.

Today a dryfit for the parts. I finished the railings and some other details. Now I start with the deck and the front of the ship. Nothing is fit yet and some parts need some finishing.

Hi Kees, your model is looking good - what is the blue strip above the wheelhouse, looks like some kind of plastic u-channelling ?
Regards,
Ray.

They're not models they're works of art!
I just watched the video, excellent, where did you get the tool that cuts the circles in the plastic card?
Superb, superb, superb....... One for each model..... U2
-
where did you get the tool that cuts the circles in the plastic card?
Sorry for the late answer to your question. I bought it on Ailexpress and the brand is Olfa. If you google on circle cutter You can find other brands.

I made some progress on the Pelikaan.
I made some progresse with the decks and the foremasts by combining them together, Structual everything is okay now so I can start doing the thing I like the most... adding details. Thats for the next update but first some pictures of what I did today.

Wooden guards and some metalworking beneath the spraydeck. Next stap will be adding all the details and then the opening where the fish goes in the ship. Lots of work to do but very rewarding.

Great to see your progress Kees and looking forward to more of the same. Like your new "keep them safe & clean" cabinet as well. :-))

fantastic work kees :-))

Good to see you back.

Absolutely stunning work exactly what I'd like to build but on a bigger scale :-)) but think I'd need a few more years experience to get anything like near to half as good as this build O0

Working on the Pelikaan.
I started on the bullwarks and realized they are the last structural things I have to build. All the other parts have been build and now is the time to put together everything.
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/365/32355285002_8669fdc49c_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Ri8hZq)Untitled (https://flic.kr/p/Ri8hZq) by Model Fishingships (https://www.flickr.com/photos/145015607@N08/), on Flickr
Yesterday I glued the spraydeck on the hull (and with this the maindeck and the structure under the spraydeck which were attached to the spraydeck)
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/387/31663886674_31e324c30c_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Qf2GmA)Untitled (https://flic.kr/p/Qf2GmA) by Model Fishingships (https://www.flickr.com/photos/145015607@N08/), on Flickr
After that I finished the bullwarks and the next thing is to finish (sanding etc) the hull so I can paint them.
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/779/31697948004_2e60ff90e4_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Qi3gAU)Untitled (https://flic.kr/p/Qi3gAU) by Model Fishingships (https://www.flickr.com/photos/145015607@N08/), on Flickr
I also made the metal stands. They are attached to the hull and will be fastened to a wooden plank. It's just the structural part the finishing will follow. The pipes are hollow so I can lead electric wire through them later.

Kees,
Dat is een heel mooi model schip, Goed gedaan Kees, je bent een compliment.
Apologies to my fellow Brits on an English site but I felt I had to say what I thought of Kees' modelling skills in his own language....Incredible work.
(By the way, my wife is half Dutch, so we go there a lot and have a big family, and now, I can actually order a beer or two and ask for the toilet in fluent Dutch!!)
Back to Kees, what do you think you could make of the Trawler/Fishshop in Breskens Harbour....(Type it in Google to see what I mean.)
Tot ziens,............Ron Rees.
-
I missed the last few updates Kees. The fleet is coming along so well. I can tell that detail is your favourite part of a project :-))
-
Back to Kees, what do you think you could make of the Trawler/Fishshop in Breskens Harbour....(Type it in Google to see what I mean.)
Hello Ron. I think I know that trawler because of the absurdly high prices :o They must be selling lobsters of gold for the price they ask.
Maar Breskens is een leuke haven, zeker door de oesterputten die ze daar nog hebben.
Some progress on the KW88. Let there be light(s)

I think Kees did say why but I cannot remember Steve.

Gorgeous Kees! The green, white and tan work very weel together. She/they will be attractive boats.
-
Added some red accents. The ship's name on the side and the letters vD (van Duijn) stands for the owners name. Also painted the puls winches. For the (orange) pulse wire. This wire leads to the net on which are electrodes attached. These electrodes send pulses to the seabottome so the fish jumps up in the net. Much less damage to the bottom and less fuel consumption.

Absolutely superb finish on the hull Kees :-)).......
One question.....in the earlier plans we see the bow thruster grill plate as horizontal and vertical, and yet you have placed them in an angled [45 degrees?] orientation.....is the some water flow difference or advantage?
Again ...brilliant detail O0.... Derek

I had some underwater pictures of another trawler and made them like that :embarrassed: . Later I got some pictures of the KW88 and now you make me realize I placed them wrong. I leave it like this. (strange thing is that the other ship (from which I had some pictures) is a sistership of the KW88)
The three grills are shaped like a wing and the cross plate is for reinforcement. On other ship there aren't grill at all.
-
Lots of work done on the Pelikaan. Frontmast, deckhatches, blocks and pulleys painted. Wooden deck, and a lot of other smaller jobs done.

Bussy in the harbouw

And a beginning on the rigging. A very big job to do but also to find out how it has to be done

It does seem to be that with a series of ships built differences do creep in during their construction. Classes of warship are a good case in point especially back in the day when new ideas and developments occurred almost weekly in all forms be it power plant, armament, radar, even mast layout and rigging. Then add refits and damage repairs and you get quite different looking ships in time. A case in point is the Queen Elizabeth class Battleships. QE and Valiant get a mammoth rebuild while warspite gets a large recuild with malaya and Barham getting much less done.
Gorgeous models by the way Kees :-))
-
The Dutch do know how to build a boat with nice lines :-)) also getting the wheelhouse the shape and size is essential on any size of boat O0 nice build !!
-
Busy doing the rigging. A horrible task to find out how all the lines and blocks has to go and actually making them to do so. It looks like one big spagethis to me sometimes.

After some hours all the rigging is ready

Very nice models! :-))

End pictures
Thank you everybody for all the kind comments and hitting the like-button each time I posted a new update. Today I made some pictures on the beach of Katwijk (Holland) and with these pictures I close this buildinglog. Please enjoy watching the pictures and maybe re-read the log and join me in my new buildinglog which will start soon.
Kind regards, Kees

very nice ships!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Thank you for sharing your build on here Kees. It has been a fascinating insight, into a modern fishing vessel, which you have captured in great detail, with some innovative techniques employed - a BIG WELL DONE. :-))
Regards,
Ray.
-
Fantastic result, I'm already looking forward to your next project.
-
Amen. The setting you photographed the completed models was just right (Taking into account that the sea is their natural environment!) The light seemed to give the models an aged look.
I reckon your next build will be a warship.
-
I made a glass in lead showcase for the model. It gives a nice open view to the model. On the baseplate are two switches for the lights on the model and on the back there is a connector for a 4.5mm jack plug.

Kees that is really lovely mate :-))

...and what better way is there to keep the dust, spiders (and hands) off the model - very, very nice. :-))

Amen to that. And you won't catch your sleeve on the railings or any protrusions.
