Sir, I was wondering. I thought I saw your vessel with a bow screw.... For as far as I know the original Oceanic did not have a bow screw. Am I wrong or has it been modified ? I have the Oceanic herited from my father who spend some time on it and he actually used it too, but not in a rough sea but a swimming pool where he has tugged a rowboat with two people in it. It was amazing. No one thought the model could accomplish that task. Cheers for your amazing work. I hope to restore my Oceanic in former glory and do a make over about the tug. I hope it will be done soon and that I can keep you updated about it Kind regards, Jacob MacHay
Excellent. I have just purchase the same model at an auction. It has not arrived yet, but I wonder, could you tell me the scale of the model. Many thanks and best wishes. Nige
Mr. Berrens! I saw the other video about the Preussen, I have to tell you the truth, you did a fascinating job! I have the same kit, just started to work on it. Would you be so kind and tell me, how exactly did you do sails curved? What material did you use? Thank you Sir!
Thank you for your kind words! The model I got did not have all sails, so I took an old white cotton bed sheet, soaked it in strong black tea for a night for the color. then draw with pencil all sails at scale including the lining. After cutiing I put them on a soft plastic PET 1.5 ltr lemonade bottle for the curve and soaked them with a brush in the regular construction glue. The sails dried in a good curve and theglue did not stic to the soft PET plastic bottle. Voila! See: th-cam.com/video/iojM12UZv1c/w-d-xo.html
