Here are some of the bits I have made for the wheel house, they are all made out of bits of plasticard glued together, shaped and painted, apart from the clock that was made on the lathe, the knobs are brass dress making pins, couldnt manage them on the lathe
There is also a pic of the door made for the wheel house, just needs handles making now

The inside of the wheelhouse is now finished (I think) the inside is made out of plasticard with the gloss side on the inside of the wheelhouse, to save painting it, the rest is made of Teak. The windows are glued in place with canopy glue applied with a tooth pick. The floor is planked and varnished

Radar and searchlight fitted to the wheelhouse. The radar is made from bits of plasticard and fitted with one of FLJ's motors. The searchlight is brass and made on the lathe (second attempt) fitted with a 12v grain of rice lamp.

To hide the wires, and make it look like flexible conduit, fine brass wire was used off a wine bottle, drank the wine, recycled the bottle, how's that for being green

So here is pics of the fish hold that I have made, I have made the hold out of plasticard shiny side in, to save painting, the surround out of Teak and the covers out of Oak, all the wood has been sanded and treated with Teak oil. The handles are out of aluminum welding rod

Well after putting it off for a while I have eventually got round to making a start on the working winch.

I have cupboard that is full of old printers/scanners, cassete players and such, from these I found a small motor that would run on 12v with plenty of torque, a worm type cog that would fit on the shaft, a double cog that would take the drive from the worm to a large cog that was drilled out to fit on the main drum,

A base of Aluminium was made to mount it all on, with the motor underneath.

The main piece is plumbers pipe and all the discs are cut out of plasticard. A brass tube runs right through the plumbers pipe, brass tube was used to make two small bushes that are fitted in the end supports.

One of the photo's shows it put together without been glued to see how it looked, there are still some bits to make for it but the main part seems to be OK.

The winch will work with one channel through an ESC

Here it is put together, painted and sat in position, next is the frame work to go round it

Here the frame is made out of brass, still a bit to do to it.

Here is the frame and winch painted and bolted into position.

The roller has been made and fitted to the top of the transom. The two end supports are made from the brass pins of a 13amp plug top, the rod is a 4mm brazing rod with a 3mm thread put on each end, the rollers I have made from mild steel in the hope that they will get a little rusty. The whole lot is bolted to the stern with 2.5mm nuts and bolts.

here are the A frames that hold the pullys for the trawler boards, they are made out of square section brass, soldered together, just a couple of stiffening fillets to go on to make it look like a proper job, then it can be painted and bolted in position.

A little bit more done, this time to the wheelhouse roof, two working lights still to go on at the rear and an aerial or two, if I can find the room.
Mast and boom also fitted
