Wonderful John! Thanks for sharing this unique build with us.
Hi John,
I hope you have fully recovered.
Lovely looking build, should make a great working model.
Cheers,
Stephen.
I have not seen plastic work before and am interested in following the melding of wood and plastic for this model The photo of the finished one is a great insight to where you will be heading. Nice work. Rich

Hello John, It's nice to see you back in your Old Ship Yard again and that you have recovered from your Virus thing. You are sure doing a nice job on your Grimmershorn and at such speeds that make my head spin. Well Done.
Regards Lawrence

Thanks guys for all the likes and comments, the plastic part of the build is just about over apart from some sanding and general cleaning up.
I have still got this virus, its been nearly three weeks now and the Doctor says it could be another week yet, I have had a Covid test and thankfully that has been ruled out, so I have to sit tight and ride it out.
It seems that I have built her very fast, but nearly all the work so far was finished a couple of weeks ago and I just didn't feel up to posting it then.
this last few days I have been trying to catch up on my Steam Drifter, and I built a small hand winch to go on my friends Irish fishing boat, just a simple little hand winch, I will attach a couple of pics,
thanks once again for all the comments and likes,
best regards John.

Here is the winch, its not any particular winch, just something I made up from stuff in my scrap box,
I turned up both the side drums at the same time, its easier to keep a visual check on there size,
I had already drilled the hole through the centre for the main shaft to go through,
close up view,
over the years I have collected all sorts of cogs and bits of brass and copper, the large nylon cog
came out of some printer,
its a non working winch, nothing is soldered, it is all super glued together,
I super glued some square brass supports to the copper base on the inside, then I glued the sides to it
and then added another piece of brass support to the outside, you can see another nylon and aluminum
cog in the background this is what I turned to size for the lower cog, I was lucky with the upper it was
just the right size,
o
after bending the winder I added a brake drum and some reinforcing trim over both sides and drilled
six holes for fixing in place,
then I added a locking handle,
all Pat has to do now is paint it, it was a nice relaxing bit of therapy for me,
thanks for looking in,

This is a very nice therapy, pitty you have to paint it. I would screw it up by painting it 
Thats what Pat said,he was going to leave it un painted,This is a very nice therapy, pitty you have to paint it. I would screw it up by painting it

...agree with Pat, I would leave it unpainted.
With the narrow flange piece I though that you had used resistance soldering to place it without visible overflow of the solder. Neatly done., I respect those of SoS with metal machining abilities. Rich (PT-2)
On my birthday weekend some of the Family came to visit and my eldest son likes Egg and Bacon pies, and seeing
that his birthday is coming up soon I thought I would make him some,
I cooked up 3 kilo of bacon approx 6.5 lbs, enough to make six pies or flans whichever you want to call them,
my Admiral and I had one, which left five for Gary to take home with him,
after cooling down,
and a close up, they were yummy,

these pics are taken after all the joints had been filled with filler and then sanded down,
she will have a couple of coats of primer and some extra sanding before the final coats of paint,
and some close up views,
.
Among other things I regret in my life, one is that I don't leave near you. I mean close by...I absolutely love an 'egg & bacon' couple in any combination! Damn...it looks tasty and delicious. Will be back, going to make one for myself...
For the part of the superstructure that holds the mast and the small funnel they give you multiple laser cut parts of
ply which you glue together and then shape into the final part, this shows all the parts glued together,
and another view,
building this part gave me a chance to try out my new disc sander, and I was really pleased with the results,
the sander has five speeds and on the slowest speed you can hardly hear any sound,
the final shape, just a little bit more finish sanding to do,
and another view,
and sitting on the plan where it will finally end up,
sitting on the top of the wheel house,
just a quick view of how it will look when it all comes together,
.
Looking really good, makes me even more keen to acquire a Krick kit.
Pleased to hear the new sander performed well, at that price it has to be a bargain I think I will get one.

Hi John,
Is the hull 'dented' or is that just reflection off something?

Thank you for the nice comment, I bought mine from Germany, I think it was approx $350 including postage and took two weeks to arrive, a good deal,
best regards John.
