Hi all, along with my other two builds I am also doing a bit on my shelter deck trawler the Our Lass III, so I have decided to start a thread on the trawler I have had the hull for quite a while know she is 35 inches long with a beam of 10 inches she is 1/30th scale . I posted a few photos of the bow thruster that I made over the last few days on my Stevns Arctic build, today I have fitted the main drive shaft and the motor mount. I decided to use a belt drive as the shaft is quite low, have test run the set up and i am really pleased with how smooth she runs.

Watched this being built in Whitby as the holiday let we use is virtually next door to the Parkol yard. Built on a flat quayside and then launched by the most enormous mobile crane ( which uses another huge mobile crane to assemble it!) Launching is quite a thing.

Hi Howard, I bought the belts and pulleys from www.mfacomodrills.com I have used them before in other builds

I think the T12s will be ok they seem to have plenty of torque

Today I made and fitted the port and starboard keels, I fitted them the same way as fitted into my Stevns Arctic and Research LK 62
if it works don't try and fix it

Hello Brian,
I never thought any one would ever make model boat building sexy to watch but you do you keep me wanting more.
Regards Howard.

Still here just to cold to work in garage, managed to get a bit done. Started fitting deck frames and fitted port and starboard ladders

A bit more done on the Trawler

chipchase · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2021, 09:59:39 pm »

This is one of a pair of net drums that I made for the trawler, not the best weather for painting.

chipchase · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2021, 07:49:15 pm »

More progrès on the shelter deck net drums.

Cheers Howard
I used 5mm perspex for the motor mount, the rudder mount is alloy, hope this helps.

Thanks Howard I managed to get a few photos showing parts of the deck floor, the planks I have made should be smaller but it looks ok and a lot of the detail that I have built into the shelter deck will hardly be seen but I know that the detail is they're. I am quite enjoying building her she is just a nice size, easy to move around instead of hiring a crane. I think I am finished with big heavy models, at 73 its starting to show

chipchase · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2021, 06:40:34 pm »

A bit more done on the hull detailing port side, cooling water intake and outlets made and fitted.
