Are you saying, Peter, that the neighboring association does the bay watching?
BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

- Start date
- Watchers 49
When the referee looks over his shoulder, yes. But he has to watch the game of (River) Beach Volleyball……….Are you saying, Peter, that the neighboring association does the bay watching?
Nearby we have:

Helicopter view like seating, hmm sounds about right for Grant.

The dark looking rivet heads are appealing, at least to me. They look rather realistic, probably also appropriate for the time of build.Thanks for this input, Uwe.
Made a macro of the resin rivets besides the paper cuts:
View attachment 396775
The shape is almost perfect.
Nice to see you found some other small rivets. But 1: they have a to rounded head, 2: I have to rivet them on the inside, 3: I hope that there will be soon more minutes in a hour and more hours in a day. I heard they are doing research into that.
PS: Drilling all that holes is not the problem. Builded up some experience on my BN.

I suspect, once you've applied some finish, they'll present the required outcome.
Good morning Peter. Thank you that is the best seat in the house. Cheers Grant
Yep, next step is painting the test frame to see how the rivets look.
Regards, Peter
such a chair would be also very helpful for the rigging works at the top of the masts ......
Hi Peter, I just found out that you have started a new project! So curious about how you are going to approach the build of this nice little lugger. My life has taken some exits away from the modelling highway, but for your activities I"ll love to get notified!!!

Only for 1:4 or 1:8 scale models …….such a chair would be also very helpful for the rigging works at the top of the masts ......
Hi Gijsbert. Nice to have you on board of my new build and you found a side-way to stay in tune.
Regards, Peter
Imagine a fully rigged 100-gunship model in 1:48 is standing on your working table - the masttop is appr. in 1,80 meter height
Provide the test frame with a layer of paint:
The actual color must be gray RAL 7040.
I still need to improve my airbrush skills, but Henk @Henk Liebre will certainly be able to teach me some tricks.
In detail, especially the resin rivets on the 2 plates at the keel:
There are mainly 3 patterns to distinguish:
-horizontal connection of individual plates: rivets in small distance right next to each other.
-vertical connection between individual plates and attached to the kiel : several rows staggered next to each other.
-connection of the plates to the frames: rivets with a large distance from each other.
A view on the inner edge of the L-profile:
The rivets should be further apart. I had already used a pattern here that is intended for horizontal connections.
I think the resin rivets look neat. Much depends on the thickness of the base layer and outer layer.
PS: On a 'normal view distance' it looks much better ..........

What a delightful outcome to your trials! Always impressive Peter!
Thanks, Uwe.I think that you are really on a very good waylooking very promising
BTW: Which colour does your cutting mat has? I guess green based on the actual thesis by @Steef66
BTW: ‘Green’ is not a color, that is a condition that many people find themselves in at sea.
The same as ‘Blauw’, that’s a state of mind.
Oeps, a PM: Blauw=Blue
Regards, Peter

This is a very welcome result, I guess. A little caution at the lapjoints and you have find yourself a very authentic looking "rivet".
Do you happen to know what the reason was for the configuration of the lapjoints?
At least above the waterline I would expect them to be top- overlapping lower sheets (seen from the outside) and also below the waterline I'm hard pressed in finding a valid argument for the lower- over top sheet configuration.

Thanks, Johan.
About the lapjoints. As seen on the old drawing, they started with the sheet of the railing and then every lower sheets with the top over the bottom of the previous one:
But on the insert you can see that on the Balder this middle sheet has a overlap of the one above and below.
The Balder has been restored twice and some of the sheets have been replaced. Then I don't think they could have avoided deviating.
An advantage if I make a mistake later, I simply used a 'restoration pattern'.
And as I already indicated, no flanged edges on the Balder. But I did that to also try it out on this scale. Without them the transitions automatically become tighter.

He got a green mat, for sure. See post #3I think that you are really on a very good way
