Lead glass showcase

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.

Rigging is done

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

And I tested the leds (again) and thankfully they all work

And a temporally fit on the baseplate. The baseplate has a contact for the powersupply and a switch for the lights

Next time I hope to show you the final pictures of this triplet.
 
See you then (and after that for a new fishingship offcourse)

Rigging (start)

Lots of work done on the Pelikaan. Frontmast, deckhatches, blocks and pulleys painted. Wooden deck, and a lot of other smaller jobs done.

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

Painting the hull

Added some paint to the hulls, including striping and the registrationnumbers

Red accents

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.

Bullwarks ready

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.

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)

After that I finished the bullwarks and the next thing is to finish (sanding etc) the hull so I can paint them.

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.

raillings on spraydeck

Had some work done on the Pelikaan. All the details under and next to the spraydeck, the fish collecting bin, the railing on the spraydeck and added the fishingline guids on the deck.

Now I want to finish the inside of the bullwark and then i will add the front piece of the ship to the hull. I have to find a solution for the electric wiring.

Kind regards. Kees
