The Fishing Boat from Cantabric sea
You can see a Fishing Boat anchored in Donisti port.
Main ship characteristics:
The first step is to make the design (drawing) in diedric system.
From this drawing are obtained all the ship parts and also can be performed all necessary calculations.
The lines plan will be used to trace the frames and another parts of the hull, to start the model assembly.
Before the construction process, and according drawings,
can be modelled the ship model in 3D and so to check the dimensions status and shape.
Also we can do 3D animations.
We can see the ship from the desired angle.
Is possible increase details as required.
Now we can start the work.
Will be used cost pins and clamps to fix the parts during the dried process of the white glue.
In this step already is possible to see the finished ship.
Also you can to see the stem and the keel parts.
The ship zone aft, is the most difficult to finish due to your shape.
You can see the stern frame and the rudder hole parts.
On this photo, you can see very well the handmake clamps, manufactured with bend irons and screws.
We are sure that some people no know what is the difference between the ship length and breadth,
this is the moment to clarify the matter.
This is a detailed fotograph on the planked of the bow deck.
In this another one can be see the deck recently finished.
Now is neccessary to make the access to the inside of the ship where will be positioned the ship superstructure.
The cut line of this access shall be drawed perfectly on the deck and shall be used a good saw.
In this picture can be seen very well the accu accomodations and motor location.
Now is the moment to make the superstructure.
This is the work resultalready is showing your shape.
the ship is in a very avanced step...
The stern has been moulded in a good shape...
Using some toothpick and two circular polywood parts can be manufactured the rudder arm.
Also we manufactur the ship support, your shape is complementary to the ship frames shape...
The propeller is manufactured of four brass pieces inserted in four holes performed
on a brass bar internal screwed. All this pieces are brazed welded with a torch and a lot of pacience...
In this moment the propeller is assembled on the ship.
This assembly shall be performed using vaseline to make the propeller shaft and stern tube water resistants.
In certain areas can be necessary use car putty to smooth it...
In this moment we give several coats of varnish and already we have the hull finished.
In this photo we can see the way to construct the mast including your weldment
Now we paint the ship in the same manner as the fishing cantabric boats. The paint used is car paint.
Finally we are obtained the desired result, now only is neccessary that someone of us performs a similar handwork.
