Side projects

The steering cabin, or whatever it's called in the Land of Nautica 

Nifty little motorbike, Heller 1/24 Yamaha/ Valentino Rossi thingy 

Won't be doing Rossi, though. Driver will be modified and will be appear as extra in a diorama 

Bought a second hand waterline hull which could very well be 1/24 scale. Scratchbuilding the cabin and other stuff on deck. 

Toilet and lounge corner 

Spacious kitchen 

Skipper from China.  

The hull. Will be heavily wheathered. Don't know yet what kind of boat it will be 

Rossi as he will appear on the scene 

The diorama i'm planning has a big workshop where some enthousiast mechanics are restauring a Mosquito. No workshop is complete without a drill press. 1/24 scale, that is.  

Wheathering the hull, part 1 

Made a toilet and a table 

And some magazines and a newspaper. Will be replacing that later with a dutch newspaper. 

Some equipmentlike thingies in the cabin. Won't be using the the captain's seat. 

View into the cabin from the roof window 

Added some random coloring to the deckplanks. 

View from the back into the cabin. Back wall not yet installed.looks like a sunny day outside! 

Getting there.... 

Scratch build anchor winch 

In my quest to put some light fixtures on this ship I found these on Shapeways, and ordered a set. When I received them I saw that they were designed to receive a led.  

Since I had some 3.5 mm leds laying around I couldn't resist making real lights on the ship 

I really hadn't planned to do this, but hey, it's my boat anyway! 

View from the back. The wiring will be sort of invisible when I'm done. 

The cabinlight through the roof window. It's not painted very well yet
