sorry forgot the photos

started fitting out the inside of the wheelhouse what you see is before the wheelhouse is fixed onto the deck not to sure what to put in-side the wheelhouse as yet becauses its all cover in and you wont be able to see inside unless you get really close upto the boat.

"a scratch built North Sea Trawler".

a lovely looking model of a very sad ship
she was one of the trio of Hull trawlers, that included the Ross Cleveland and St Romanus which were all lost within weeks of each other with great loss of life [ only 1 survivor from three complete crews ] that were lost in the winter of 1968/69

Coming along very nicely. i was a bit worried about those doors and windows, looking a little heavy, but if stuck with blur tack, that explains it. A good build so far.Keep it up amigo..

Hi every-one sorry its been over 4 weeks since I posted anything not been to good the old age getting to me never mind.Heres some of the latest bits I have made and painted.
To my friends out there you will be pleased I have not painted the superstructure in gloss grey I have done it in satin and Im very pleased with it and it wont look like a toy boat.Have painted gloss to lockers etc and all is looking well.
The first photo is the funnel 98% finished all painted in silk grey.

3rd photo is the mast and is all sanded by hand for the right shape just a few bits to go on.
4th photo is the large and small vents just got to put handles on .
5th photo is the 4 pillars 2 each side of the over hanging superstructure.
Hope you like please leave your comments

barryfoote · « **Reply #63 on:** May 19, 2009, 10:03:05 pm »

)Looking good, but I would still tone that matt black down. Spray it with matt or satin black varnish

Very nice build indeed,a couple of years ago i bought a similar boat to this one,The Sir Kay,it was built by Arthur Mulligan,from, Mulligans Boat yard,near Forfar in Scotland,and what a lovely boat it was, were these boats related in some way,i.e Sir Lancelot,Sir Kay?????

They were two of eight vessels named after the Knights of the Round Table and which were to be known as the Round Table Class of minesweeper.

Thanks Richard you beat me in naming the knights .

The Sir Lancelot was converted from her wartime role into a fishery research vessel ( she was based on a steam trawler design ) being Lowestoft registered and finally sold to Hamburg in 1962 and renamed Heir Ed Din Barbarossa.

kelvin · « **Reply #71 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:03:05 pm »

the ship looks good!!!
or like we say in Holland : aardig drijfbaar. means quite floatable

wallace · « **Reply #72 on:** May 29, 2009, 07:16:45 pm »

well done some good research by you and some lovely photos.
