Looks pretty good....

bayerische · 13 December 2012, 07:39 AM

Yup!

I would say it's all right.

Grumpy Badger · 13 December 2012, 07:46 AM

Looking great!

I'm glad to have found someone who keeps their work area almost as neat and tidy as mine!

But not such delicate touch. If I can't fix it with a 7lb hammer I'm all out of ideas!

Slight progress,

Not much glued in place, mock-up of the wheel house.

Some filler to be needed... I feel Billing Boats made an error here... But no problem. Filler saves the day. (Where the wheel house meets the deck)

More stuff to be added to the roof. Much to be painted!

HRV · 14 December 2012, 07:21 AM

Things are really coming together Andreas, really looks good

bayerische · 14 December 2012, 07:34 AM

Andrew

Funny thing, one of my friends here in Finland is from Johannesburg and his name is Andrew.

HRV · 14 December 2012, 04:06 PM

Well say "howzit boet" to him from me

bayerische · 24 December 2012, 08:58 PM

Some updates again. I'm about 30h into building her at this point. She's not going to take as many hours as I though.

Railing is what has been going on. Got it done really good. I'm happy with it.

My plan was to have Andrea finished by christmas time, that didn't really work though!

Well, to my defense the garage is cold!

bayerische · 12 January 2013, 04:33 AM

Got some work done today, I know I've been a huge slacker lately!

Made this:

Part of the hoist equipment onboard.

Beek · 12 January 2013, 04:52 AM

Finally an update. Looking forward to the next steps.

bayerische · 12 January 2013, 04:54 AM

I know!

Blaming the cold!

I can imagine. Never been to Finland in winter. Should try it at least once.

HRV · 13 January 2013, 06:11 PM

Looks good Andreas, glad your working through it

Monte Cristo · 13 January 2013, 07:43 PM

I'm impressed with the size of this Andreas.
How does it rate in size compared to your other projects?

Alex, this boat is actually a bit smaller than the Calypso. I would say the calypso, and some other boats I've built has been about 1 meter long, (full size I would guess in model terms) some boats have been 60cm, (medium) this is in-between. It's about 72cm long if I remember correctly.

But the difference is the scale, the Andrea Gail is just a small fishing boat, supposed to the Calypso that was actually a "vessel", minesweeper.

So everything looks huge on the Andrea, as opposed to every detail looking tiny on the Calypso.

In real life the Calypso was 42m long and Andrea Gail was 22m.

1675-David · 13 January 2013, 08:08 PM

Wow! great project! Love all the brass details.

bayerische · 14 January 2013, 03:35 AM

Got a lot done today!

Another part of the hoist:

And this bit lot's of different things, all now glued together, made of quite a bit of small bits, that needs to be cut to size. Cutting takes 1,5h, gluing 30min.

Beek · 14 January 2013, 04:14 AM

Progress

Looking forward to the next steps

bayerische · 16 January 2013, 02:37 AM

And some more.

Today I built a couple of masts that are part of the trolling equipment. Didn't get them 100% finished, but will get that done tomorrow. Oh, the horror painting all this is going to be.

Glueing all this together went nicely, I was prepared for a small war, but it didn't escalate to that!

Same boom/mast, or actually there's two of these.

Small details on the platform that's going on top of the rig. (Not finished!)

But slowly. I blame the cold. (again)

Also waiting for some parts. Ordered a 20 AMP digital speed controller for this baby yesterday. It has a big motor, so it will probably need that, running a 6volt battery. It will only get it 120W.
