Good afternoon Peter. Wonderful pump although “he” looks pretty lost, alone and forlorn at the moment
. Cheers Grant
Thanks, Grant. Have a moment and it will have some privacy ..........Good afternoon Peter. Wonderful pump although “he” looks pretty lost, alone and forlorn at the moment

The panelling around the bilge pump has also been placed:
It actually closes off both pumps. But now with the intended result by the half construction method: we keep an eye on the inner parts.
Also the 12 weighing planks at the new length.
On the wall the U-profile where the weighing planks fall into:
Everything still needs to be provided with 2 layers of linseed oil.
The inside:
Both walls are constructed with horizontal planks. That is how it is on the old drawing and therefore also built that way. Use a small square to glue everything straight.
The insert at the top left: the half transverse part with the U-profile on one side and a protection moulding on the other side. That prevents the fishing nets on the corner from rubbing against the end sides of the planks. With the risk of damage.
The insert bottom right: View of the inside of the long part with both corner mouldings and at the bottom the recess for the skirting board.
I will now try to make a somewhat similar fishing net that can be stored in the hold.

Good morning. And in a moment it certainly has it privacy and then some. I love the effect of the weighing planks have. No doubt - the look through to the whole length of the pump is so very effective. Cheers Grant
You are right, Grant. And the old drawing gave me the information and inspiration. Here the comparison:
And the drawing is more of less also the cross section of the ship.

Hello Peter, I am always amazed at how fast time flies. Just been catching up on your build, somehow over a month has gone by since I last visited. I see you have maintained your excellent high standard of work and by the way a fantastic recovery on the misstep at the stern. On some of the close in shots the paint and rivets look like real ones, just amazing. Happy New Year my friend!
Thanks for your renewed visit and HNY-wishes, Daniel. For you and your beloved all the best and a good health!
I am also very happy with the result of the rivets. In addition to the money, it also costs a lot of time to apply and 'preserv', but the layer of paint works wonders.
Regards, Peter
I had some ideas in mind for making some fishing nets.
In post #3 I had already shown a picture of the type of net that was used: the 'vleet':
Up to 70 standing nets of 30 meters long and 15 meters high/deep each.
I'm not going to make them all. That's also not possible in scale, given the thin yarn the nets were made of. Or I'll have to knit nets myself with Serafil .......
Woudrichem where I live is also a 'old' fishing town and there are some fishing man who still pass on the old skills such as knitting nets and making splices.
In the net room of the model you only had a view of what is on top. I'm going to make a copy of 1 net that will be on top with the necessary padding underneath.
Then I won't place all the weighing boards, but put a few next to them.
I also found a piece of mosquito netting:
With this piece of length I think I can make something representative. And of which I don't know yet whether that will actually work. But it's fun to do because I now get a view of all the details of such a net.
First I attached the pieces of lead at the bottom of the net. These are number 8 in the drawing.
Now I am busy tying the 'speerreep' to the net. These are number 7. The pieces of cork will also be attached there as floats.
I may still attach the 'seizings', number 6, but I have to check whether anything is still visible.
The mesh is now grey in colour. The whole thing will be brown to make it look tanned. Also old fashion which is still demonstrated during the yearly Fishing Days here in town. Boiling in big kettles with tannin that was extracted from the bark of the birch or oak.

Shouldn't the honeycombs of the net be arranged diagonally?
It depends on what kind of knitting they are using, Christian. The old-fashioned were often horizontal [ ] squared. Later on the <> shape was more common.
A professional net-knitter can make both. Modern ones are even hexagonal.

And then macro photography becomes fun again:
To see if the knots with the Serafil 4000 (0.12 mm <120/2>) are neatly placed.
The mesh width is 1.5 mm.
For those interested: With a 100mm macro lens and 25mm Extension Tube. The image magnification factor of this lens is increased by 0.25 by this tube. Instead of 24 meshes I now get 18 meshes in the image.

Thanks, Mirek. Much appreciated.
About the sail, how did you know that?
Made this sail almost 40 years ago. Not bij hand but on the machine of my Admiral:
Still hanging proud on my ‘Le Mirage’.

Hi Peter,
Guess with these nets you don't go fishing for herring but mosquito's instead. Please let us know when you have your first catch of salted mosquito.

Then I invite you for a sandwich with salted mosquito thighs … with of without onions ….

Sometimes you have to let an idea sink in. The mosquito netting is quite stiff and coarse in scale. And to make a nice bunch of stored nets from that?I had some ideas in mind for making some fishing nets.

Then I remembered that I still had a Midget netting from a trip to Scotland. That is much thinner and finer in structure.
A test strip cut. Above a somewhat loosely draped piece and pulled together crosswise below it to what looks like a net that has been brought in and can be stored. Then you can't see much of what kind of meshes have been used.
Now make a test with some accentuating cork-like blocks. And whether the string 'fritted' with some diluted wood glue stays in place.
Regards, Peter
After quite a few hours of cutting, sewing and fitting:
The wood has been treated with linseed oil. The cork blocks have been sewn to the upper edge of the nets and draped in such a way that they are visible on top. This all would not have been possible with the mosquito netting from the first attempt.
With the deck planked, there is only a view from the side. (Now some test planks have been placed on the deck to block out some light.) That is why the upper 6 weighing planks were not stacked but placed behind the others.
To get good lighting with the dark net, the necessary adjustments were needed. The light planks then overexpose.
Still an acceptable picture.

Success! Always an innovator, Peter.
