1/700 scale 110-foot Commercial Freezer Trawler

[moon puppy]

Need to get that brass squared up, looks like they are a bit wonky.

 

[Rhino]

The camera's eye hides NOTHING! Even .008 copper wire is WAY too heavy for a hard corner bend in this scale.
If only I could make photo-etch. :hmmm

 

[Iron Mike]

Try annealing the wire before bending? :dude

 

[moon puppy]

Well hold the camera wonky and we wont notice.

 

[Rhino]

Some more work on the mast with teeny bits of stretched sprue. I did the tie-off racks near the winches and put the exhausts in the existing holes.
2 more stays run to the deck house. All of this will look more square when the deck house is attached permanently.
Or it won't.

Today's Rocks & Reefs casting.

Thanks for looking in.

 

[Iron Mike]

Watch for the rocks. :captain

 

[moon puppy]

Looks swell!

 

[Rhino]

Aye. 'Tis Banshee Island. Only the boldest of Mariners ventures close by. Local folk say it is haunted by the souls of burnt witches, if you believe in such things.

All that without one drop of Rum, eh!

 

[Rhino]

SOooo! with a wee bit-o-Rum, this happened!

I know my little bitty 1/700 scale silliness is NOT of interest to every Man.
I care not! I may lose my addled mind if a job opportunity doesn't present itself soon!!

Meanwhile, Back at the soggy Prairie......................

I'm just waiting for the scratch built netting



:drunk

 

[Stoneboat]

Stiddy as she goes Captin.
Damn Rhino, that is looking great. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[Rhino]

Trawl boom rigging with deck house, exhausts and decals.
Bear in mind that these parts are WAY over scale for 1/700. I'm hunting for material to use for hanging nets.
No Wimmen-people I know wear nylon stockings anymore.

 

[moon puppy]

Witchin'!

 

[Iron Mike]

Looking good. Some tea bags are made of fine mesh.

 

[Rhino]

Tea bags. :hmmm
Brilliant!! Could prove a good material for sails for my wind powered boats too! :facepalm
CSS Florida is in the works....................

 

[Rhino]

Progress so far on the Bitchin' Witch freezer trawler. Tea bag nets hung from the trawl boom, Booms with tiny Birds on the ends. a little paint, a few whip antennas and She'll be ready to debut!
