Maria HF.31 // Fishing Ewer // Finkenwerder/Hamburg // 1:72 // Kit by Dusek // OOB mit ein bischen pimpen
Daniel hatte mich darum gebeten also leiste ich dem Folge .. haha ... aber ... ich habe gerade nicht die Muße alles zu übersetzen, daher erst mal in Englisch. Denke aber, die Bilder sind aussagekräftig genug.
As inbetween project (to much repetitive stuff with Syren and Sherbourne atm ... ) and as a XMas gift for my father I started this little ship. The Maria HF 31 was a fishing Ewer from Hamburg/Finkenwerder. Thats very very close to where I live btw ;) Build 1880 she operated until 1950. During this period she has undergone several rebuildings, including motorization. The Ship is restored and has it's place in the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich.
Another reason for this build was my curiosity about the kits from Daniel Dusek. From what I read and saw on youtube they look very promising (and indeed, they are).
First some pictures of the parts.
PRO:
++ Very good Wood (Pear!!) ++ Very good laser cutting ++ Very good Photoetched Parts ++ Full lasered planks ++ Double Planking ++ Affordable ++ Solid construction
CONTRA:
-- Manual -- The images on the packaging
(I will revise Pro/Contra while building if necessary)
There are all parts to build the Maria as Sailing Ewer or as motorized one. I will build the sailing version. I will try to build OOB but can't promise :D I allready bought the book "Ewer Maria" with a lot of pictures and informations.
Portside done. Some minor mistakes but overall it looks nicely rough. There are some color issues with the wood after using danish oil I have to live with. No decision yet if the Maria gets paint.
One minor difficulty with this kind of kit is: How much laser char should or HAVE to be removed so that it fits. Some prechecking is useful here! Remark: Even the smallest part are so robust that it does not break while sanding down the laser char. I really like that!
I could finish the 2nd planking and the steering post.
There were a minor issues with the stern I had to improvise a bit
Deck is not glued yet but as an overall impression some pictures ;)
The kit is really fun to build I can absolutely recommend it and also Daniel Dusek is very kind and helpful!
One hint. Forgot to mentioned it earlier. Pls see the following picture.
These are the parts 31L & 32L the fact that all these single parts have ONE partnumber does NOT mean to glue them as ONE part (I saw this in an article in a german Magazin ...ouch ...) they have indeed to be glued separately one per one (nice puzzle btw. better mark them ...) But! I really had to think about that twice as this kind of kit was new to me and I would suggest to mention this clearly in the manual! ;)
Yesterday I started on the windlass. Short Story: I will redo this part soon.
Long Story:
First I decided to break parts as these is more on the original construction of a windlass:
Next I decided to redo these parts with pear.
A lot of nice details are provided
But you might start seeing "my problem"
It's the wrong wood for parts like this. This kinda nut wood is way to soft and with way to big pores ....
But ... Daniel Dusek is so kind for a small amount of money to laser these parts with pear :) He is also considering to offer these lasered pear parts as special parts to buy if wanted. I like that much! :)
As it allready was not the best building day ... I f***ed up on the name too ... damn ...
Sanded it down to a kinda "used look" ... but no idea what to do now ... re´doing completely ... used look ... I have to see ...
Wanted to build the otters and tried my silver soldering skills went fine until the end ... 1sec to much .. burned .. hmpf ...
As you can see I pimped a bit here too. Also used a small chain.
Anyway need to try again though ...
First a shot Maria together with Syren ;)
I then build the second otter, this time I used mainly CA only the triangle thingy was silver soldered. Together with my micro chain this is the only part I changed. The etch part is too flat imo.
And it is macro proof, yeah :)
The details possible with this kit are really great an well thought, there is only very very small room left for improvements!
Today the new deck arrived, much better imo, couldn't wait and so ... Thanks to Daniel Dusek for his great support!
So now that the deck is installed more inboard stuff has to be made. First at the bow. A little sandwich building ;)
After sanding.
It's a bot different ment by the kit but as I have always problems with these angles I fake a bit :P
And on the other side things has to be done too :)
A bit more things build. First the knee. I made it lot thicker then the kit ones afther checking pictures from the original boat.
And the strip under the caprails made
Oiled. Always exciting how the wood turns out. This pear gets quite dark but I like that :)
More stuff :) I decided to redo some of the nut wood parts with boxwood but first made a template for the deck to get the positions.
Preparation for painting ...
More boxwood parts :D
Ok, this will be a bigger Update ;)
First of all I got the new parts made in pear by Daniel. I only can recommend everybody who wants to buy and build the Maria to ask Daniel for the pear parts. The little money is more than worth it!
Today I finished the deck so here are the pictures. Whenever you have questions don't hesitate to ask me!
Hawse hole inner ... reusing stuff :P
Made hooks seen on the original boat ...
Painted
I also started on the windlass V2.0. Even Daniel was so kind to send me the sides as 3part Sides (Thanks Daniel!!) I first tried a differen approach with the one piece sides. Small cuts and the sanding down the knee a bit. It's easy to do but gives a big effect imo.
Decided to redo the rudder in pear, sharper contours imo, so redoing the pintles too.
Getting the position where to glue the gudgeons
A bit of micro rivet pimping ... couldn't resist :P
Right now the rudder get the first coat of white paint ... I hate white paint btw :D
Rudder done. Interestingly I had to shortend the tiller to fit with the binnacle ... anyway ;)
More etched details on the bow. I redid part 278 as I don't like it flat there. I also used t micro rivets mainly so that this part is kinda pinned too, not only glued (don't trust the CA/Metal/Wood combination ...
Ok,with my painting art I am absolutley NOT happy ... wish the kit would (hint hin Daniel) include a mask for the green areas like for the name.
At the moment I am a bit pi**ed ... Masking the name is a nightmare ... don't use the mask! The mask is paper based and when the paint is just a bit bit bit to liquid you are ****** ... the mask were on for maybe 10 hours ... and after removing paint all over, the glue of the mask all over ... I'm pretty .... aahhhhhhhh ... so used look at the bow again. As I am not sure I like it or willing to weather the whole boat I might repaint everything .... hmpf ... and try Letraset Chars.
Anyway no need to decide yet so I started working on the winch.
Finished the winch today.
So only some minor stuff and maybe one or two deconstructions (!!) are left before starting the rigg.
The kit includes two small boats, one for the sailing one for the motorized version. Both boats are models for themself! The sailing one is really tiny.
Even it is so small it is very robust because of the nice stable plywood. Planking is pear,
I like to use CA so ;)
Prefinished
Tip: to remove the laser char from very very small parts I use a pliers to hold and to stableize it.
Almost finished.
Some macros :)
Compared to a needle ..
That was really fun to build. Tip: Sand down the pear planks to make them thinner that makes it easier to bend them.
A minor update. Boat is almost finished and perepared to be glued on deck.
