YUANQING BLUENOSE - Peter Voogt [COMPLETED BUILD]

[RDN1954]

My exercise is running behind my granddaughters electric car!
And I’m sweating whether the boards I ordered will arrive before I go on vacation!

It's the exercise that counts!
Aha, some self-imposed deadline to meet Dean?

My exercise is running behind my granddaughters electric car!

Haha …… perhaps I do sit on a electric bike behind the screen ……. ?
On the Dutch forum someone asked: do I build during biking or do I bike during building?
I know I get sweaty with both of them now and then.

And I’m sweating whether the boards I ordered will arrive before I go on vacation!

Then you are ready for that vacation.
Regards, Peter

True! Exercise is exercise!
No deadlines, just hoping to work on the ship, while I’m off work. I’m having what I call a “Staycation”…lol…because I’m staying home for the week of Thanksgiving!

That's a good prospect!

Ah, Thanksgiving, so many good memories! Turkey, mashed potatoes ánd a lot of deserts, but most of all the hospitality of my Texan hosts...

(Don't think for a second that I'm buying your "no deadline" story!)

Another wall done.
With the 2 hull parts on top of each other:

The frame on top of the wall for the remaining planks has yet to be added. However, I run out of brass-wire. Going shopping this afternoon with the wife.

The deck beams on it:

Handles in the hatch hole still need to be fitted.

With another overview:

I see that I still have to remove a 'spacer' on the starboard side.

One more to go between the wall and the closing wall.
Gr. Peter

Nice work again.

 

[Peter Voogt]

Nice work again.

Thanxs Stephan. Repetitive work and yet something different every time.

 

[Heinrich]

Beautiful work. The top view illustrates just how good those deck beams look. You have really finished them off nicely Peter - ready for their oil.

 

[dockattner]

It's a fantastic dissection Peter. And expertly done as well.

Thanxs, Heinrich, Paul and Johan.

About the deck beams: take your time and often a sharp scalpel.
The deck beams get there oil later. Because the linseed oil penetrates almost completely. And then the glue no longer adheres:
-waterways;
-deck planks;
- hull planks with scuppers;
-etc.

It's a fantastic dissection Peter. And expertly done as well.

Well ....... with the help of AL-FI ........

I saw your post passing by. When I am one of them, I feel honored.

Looking great as usual Peter!

For sure you are one of them...

Beautifully rendered with the view through the deck beams.

Your deck beams are tight, craftsmanship
I now know where the challenges are to make the connections for the beams

What I'm still curious about, how will the deck planks show later?

Regards

Henk

 

[Peter Voogt]

Thanxs Henk.

What I'm still curious about, how will the deck planks show later?

Me to.
I have a small plan in my head. For sure: it will be ‘very open’, the deck components are supported by planks, I show bended and nibbled planks, treenails etc. I still have to try out how I color the caulking.
Regards, Peter

I'm bothering you for the last time with a in-between wall.
For the 6th FishHold:

All the frames with loose planks have now also been placed:

Then I can now start measuring the closing wall. Just like the first 2 walls, it must fit completely under the deck beam. With the 2 cut ears.
The loose ears that come in the upper part of the trunk have an immediate advantage: they form a target and a guide when I place both parts on top of each other.

I hope it has not been lost on you, Peter, just how astonishing your own build is. In my professional life I can be so self-critical that I often don't see what normal people see - a beautiful healthy smile (I'm an orthodontist in my paying job). This build, at this scale, with the limitations imposed by the lack of a sample to follow, is simply amazing. On my model I am trying to build what I see in real life - you are building what you see in your mind. This is not artistic license - this is artistry. Huzzah!

I'm a bit quiet about this...... What a compliment, Paul. Thank you very much.
When I look at the Saga drawings (Page 48, #943) with the large continuous fish holds, I sometimes think: isn't it a bit overkill.
But like today's trawlers, it was more or less a fish factory, when she was not racing. And for the period that she was at sea, the fish had to be processed and stored.
