Inside the wheelhouse

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







And I did some work on the hood.

The roof

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.

More work on the wheelhouse

Hello Everybody.

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

Router machine

Hello people,

I wanted to buy a router but the missis wouldnt let me spend the money so I searched the bits and peaces-bin for stuff to make on myzelf. I had an old Kinzo multitool wich I could use and the necessary parts were there too. I built a router-part which is adjustable in height, a part to make circles and a part to make straight lines. 

Here's the result.

On with the moulds

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.

Cooling

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.

Added registration number

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.
