Very appealing.

Thanks, Johan.

Though she does scream "lights"...

Haha, some photos were taken with external light, more than enough. No lights inside.

Those riveteers must possess an uninterrupted source of patience...

That where also my thoughts. One by one, first in the fire to heat, then push them into place with pliers and then tighten them piece by piece. Without advanced hearing protectors, as is now mandatory in accordance with the Working Conditions Act. And not to forget to make first all the holes …….

Those were the days .

Your project is now in 50 shades of grey.
I love it.

I had noticed this before, but I only receive an e-mail notification on your post
if Maarten responds.

Special...

I saw that there are already photos from a few days ago.

Just catching up

 

[Henk Liebre]

how a few hours of work with the airbrush gives the bow a completely different look:

Nice work Peter,

A special building with a special construction.

Nice to see the bend nails now look nicer.

Peter,

you are sure that you do not show us pictures of the original ship? It's looking outstanding.

 

[Peter Gutterman]

What a testament to the hours of work, skill, experience and enginuity required for the design and realization of the most prosaic of vessels: a herring trawler

Thanks for this very nice words, Peter. I am also starting to appreciate the ship more and more. A real working vessel.
Allow me to write this about ‘a herring trawler’: A trawler is a fishing vessel that fishes with a funnel-shaped net (English: trawl). It are the more ‘modern vessels’.
The Balder was still a lugger, fishing with a long standing net.
There where sailing luggers who used the trawl, but it worked better with the steam ships. They had more power to use that type of fish nets in deeper water.

I cheerfully stand corrected and edified! Thanks for sharing your working knowledge of such matters!

Indeed, it was very pleasant today, Henk. Also with your Titanic and Johan with the ‘Spin’. Thanks for your and your Admiral for your hospitality.

It is actually not a new change of the plan, but rather bringing a part of it forward.
In view of the meeting in Amsterdam on September 28, I would like to show some of my plans and therefore the design in the port side.
Then I first have to spray paint some parts black:

The result after an hour of cutting and pasting.
The waterways, the sketch plate at the front and the raised edges of the hatches, lights and access are taped off.
Let's see if I have some time for spraying tomorrow.
Regards, Peter
