BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

[Peter Voogt]

A well-done paint job Peter. The framework has come alive with it.

Thanks, Daniel. Yes, now it looks like iron-work. It took me about 4 hours of spraying. Then just bought a new airbrush with a small 2mm and 3mm nozzle. With the 2mm to spray between all the frames.
Regards, Peter

It‘ not a model, it‘s art. By some pictures I thought, that you show us renderd 3D images.
Just beautiful photographic

Wow! Simply amazing. The lines came alive in the various lighting, especially the shadows dancing on the wall.

Those rivets were a painstaking labor of love, but they really make every rib and connection superbly realistic!

Thanks for sharing this log, your ingenuity, and these photos of your ARTWORK in this new and unique medium.

I can imagine painting was a lot of work! Looks fantastic, excellent job Peter!

 

[Maarten]

Wow Peter, showing two hobby's in one post. Perfect model en perfect pictures.
Guess the museum would be interested in these pictures showing the construction of the vessel.

Thanks for so many nice words, Brad. Working with the rivets is delicate but they are the ‘cherries on the cake’.
And to present the construction as tastefully as possible is a nice challenge.

Thanks, Dean. And yes, a real challenge between all the frames. And not to damage the drying painted parts when you see some white parts inside the structure. And then taping the grey to spray the black ……

Thanks for the compliments, Maarten. I stay in close contact with them. Perhaps next Thursday a new visit to the real Balder for detailed pictures of the railing construction. I have the model with me to show them the progress.

Thanks, Marco. Much appreciated from a fellow 'non-wood-builder' (at this moment).

Thanks, Johan. Indeed, besides the building there where many hours of thinking involved.
