- In this speed build video, I demonstrated how I made the BB701 FD 10 Yawl 1/50 scale from Billing Boats.
A typical Danish seiner, with a gross tonnage of 63.43 and built in 1929/1930 at the Nyborg Shipyard in Denmark. The ship was sold to the Faroe Islands in 1930 as the 'Sjostjornan' TG II. After a period of 20 years with various owners and names, the ship was sold to Iceland in 1950, and was now called 'Arnanes'.

Turned out really nice.
I believe those are reefing lines. Telltales are for showing airflow on the sails.
Thank you, Johnny. Good catch!
I can just remember Servabo of Brixham, great video and many thanks.
At 13:43, you discuss "telltales", I believe these are reef points. A telltale is attached to a shroud to indicate wind diection. The reef points are used to reduce the sail area in strong wind conditions and are laid out parallel to the boom.
Great video. Really enjoyed that. You say at 7min 30 seconds that you have never done "a perfect paint job" and were probably referring to the bleeding of the black paint underneath the tape. I have a tip that will eliminate this problem. Once you have painted the red colour and have placed the tape where you want the black colour to start, do the following to prevent the bleeding problem: Instead of starting with the black paint, paint over the tape line where the black paint is supposed to start, with RED paint. The red paint will now bleed under the tape, and will seal the gaps. Once the red paint has dried you can paint with black paint and will see that there is NO bleeding whatsoever. I have used this trick effectively even on an aircraft rudder that had a type of a corrugated iron surface and there was no bleeding that occurred. Try it, you will see that it works.
Wow, thank you. Great tip.
BRILLIANT !! Never thought of that - gonna give that a go next time.
@@patrickfox-roberts7528 My brother obtained his private pilot's license in a Piper Cherokee 140 back in the 1980s. I found a Miniart 1/48 scale kit for a Piper Cherokee. Obviously it did not have the same numbering as decals. I went to a lady who used a machine to cut stencils on Tamiya masking take of the aircraft's lettering. These were ZS-IKY. The letters were about 1 centimetre high and about 2 millimetre thick. I used that technique in order to spray paint the letters onto the plane and also to spray paint the decorative stripes on the plane exactly what his plane had looked like. The letters came out perfectly with no bleeding and my brother was most impressed.
So relaxing watching a pukka craftsman build this boat !. Billings product is top notch. Thanks. Dave
The sail color is called "tanbark". It comes from treating the sails with oak tannins to prevent them rotting.
Very nice work, it takes a lot of dedication to do a model like that. For me personally l would say this is more like a intermediate wood model, there are any number of easier builds that give very satisfaction results for a beginner.
Thank you very much!
my uncle made one of these with me when I was just a boy. He told me as we neared the end, that he used to sail on this exact ship when he was my age.
Your video showed the No. 1 attraction of building ship models or any other kind of model... the sheer enjoyment of some quiet time in the creation of something really cool. Plastic parts?? Who cares? I, too, started in plastic, sitting next to my father. Even at my age, 72, I still get a thrill from holding the model at eye level, one eye closed, and making wave noises as the boat sailed an imaginary sea. As someone once said, everyone should have at least one hobby where people look at you and ask: Now how old are you?
Thank you, John.
The modelling helps embracing the inner child of us!
In all aspects, what a wonderful video. Easy voice, great detail. Makes me want to make model ships as well.
Watching this about 9 miles from Brixham. Pretty cool.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you. And your lunch was hilarious!
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!
THAT was great
Seems to me, whether they call it a yawl or fishing smack, it reminds me of Leo’s pilot boat. The stern is longer and the sails are not as complete but not by much. This model maker would do well to approach Leo to make a kit of his boat considering how many viewers he has that would love to have a model of his pilot boat.
What a nice model and very well build. Thanks for sharing⚓️
Great work!
Nice work, sir! Thanks for sharing your process and techniques.
Thanks for watching
Wunderbar! Danke.
beautiful build
Thank you!
Beautiful boat!
Great video of the build with some excellent tips.
Thank you kindly!
Really cool. ⛵
🙏 Thank you!
Lovely build 😘
Thank you! 🤗
great video , this bloke sounds like maxwell smart
It's a computer generated voice. I hate it.
Fascinating! Back around 1980 I was at a Round Table National Conference at Yarmouth in the UK where in the Conference Club bar at about 2 am, I drunkenly became convinced that I was going to win the prize in the national draw being run to raise money for a brand-new lifeboat for the RNLI - so I only purchased one ticket! A couple of days later when I was home (and sober) a 'phone call advised me that I had won a model of a Brixham trawler, constructed and donated by someone from that area. I was delighted and - I must admit - surprised, and soon collected the vessel from another rather drunken meeting with Malmsbury and Tetbury Round Table.
The boat was much admired, and I had a lot of fun with it, sailing it on the local park lakes - after fitting a heavy lead weight on a detatcheable keel to give it some stability against the wind. I eventually added a radio control servo below the cabin, and also made a long screw device to act as a sail winch so that it could really be controlled for sailing with and against the wind. I even let my children handle the steering device on some occasions(!), but the controls and the keel were later removed.
The boat looks almost identical to the one you have constructed, with the steering post aft of the aftermast, although a lot closer to it. Sadly, having been on display in a window for over 40 years, it is showing signs of needing some attention, particularly the sails which now have some tears. I was hoping that your kit supplier supplied the sails ready-made and that I could purchase some, but as that is not possible it will be a struggle to re-make them with arthritic fingers.
Should you wish to see a picture of my boat, do a web search for Don Johnson's Personal Website, and click on the link Boat Pic at the top left of the Home page.
Thank you, Don. Are there any more of those drunken meetings? Lol. You should be able to find a local model builder who can repair or restore your trawler.🍀
Nice work, Envious of the A&W. Mine closed years and years ago.
Sorry to hear that.
I use a lot of billing parts for my scratch built ship models! pulleys, cannon and anchors...
great video ! Beautiful boat and model. One little observation, I think the telltales on the sails are actually for securing the sail to the boom when reefed. Thanks for making a great video !
Yes, thank you for pointing out. They are reefing lines.
@@EZmodeling I have always called them brailing lines - the reefing lines are used to reduce sail size, the brailing lines tie up the sailcloth on the boom.
I agree, I think it is a ketch.
A wonderful build my good sir, and I agree she is indeed a ketch. I wonder how possible it would be to come up with some form of small beam trawl for her to carry on deck, a fishing vessel always seems a bit naked without her gear…
One of the coolest models I’ve seen was of one of the company boats for a company I used to work for. They depicted her not in her pristine off the slipway state but in her in service state. With barrels of bait her hull stripped of paint and scared where she hauled her gear, and algae stains all over the hull below the scupper line. It was kind of striking to see a model depicting a boat I worked on, looking just about exactly like she did when I worked on her.
Nice work , I built the Cutty Sark and a couple of other Billings models back in the 1980’s , great to see they are still making quality kits . Unfortunately my cats killed the Cutty Sark on one of their climb to impossible places expeditions , but the fun is in the making .😀 I don’t recall any plastic parts back then apart from the ABS hull on the Smit Nederland, which was hellish difficult to glue to the deck !!
OH MY GOD - I am so sorry for you loss of the Cutty Sark.
I tried to build the Victory in the 1990's so I know how many hours were in that.
This vessel is a ketch. A yawl has the mizzen mast stepped aft of the rudder post.
Well! The position of the rudder itself it is not enough to define a ketch.
1. The boat doesn't ha e a triatic stay that is characteristic to a ketch.
2. The mizen mast is too small to push the vessel even it is a Gaff rigged, and the mizzen mast has a rather, estetic purpose or for steering.
“Yawl; a two-masted sailing vessel, rigged fore-and-aft, with a large mainmast and a small mizzenmast stepped aft of the rudderpost” It is the definition of a yawl 👍🏻
They are ketches, not yawls, but don't try to tell people, and certainly no people sailing them
I was lucky to see one of these sail trawlers in the local harbour a few years ago, and have a chat with the owner. He was on his way from Sweden to GB, motoring it along single handed!
Looks great!
I used to sail on a Brixham mule, 54ft on deck, smaller than the Brixham trawler. Yes, it is a gaff ketch, not a yawl. Both have two masts, the difference being that the mizzen (rearmost) mast on a ketch is stepped forward of the rudder post, and on a yawl the mizzen is stepped aft of the rudder post.
The strings you call tell-tales on the sails are actually reefing points. They are used when the sail is lowered in strong winds so the "slab" of sail below the reef points is now at the level of the boom. The reefing points are tied together under the boom to tidy-up the folds of the sail.
Thank you, Nicholas! Thanks for pointing out the reef lines. My bad. I should have done a better study.
One day, I will sail on a real tall ship. Must be a lifetime and unforgettable experience.
Good catch! I was about to post the same thing, but figured someone must have noticed. And so you did!
That was a really cool video wow what a beautiful model the detail and the painting also very talented liked and subscribed 👍
Thank you very much!
Enjoyed it. As a sailor I kept wondering if it would float? The illustration of techniques will help me in my beginning efforts.
I did not put any ballast in this one. It might float but soon may capsize. Good luck with your building!
I watched another another video that taken place for several years called the Tally ho. It would be great if they did a model of that.😊
Great thinking! Thanks for the inputs.
Really nice work! I’ve just started with my own project, a Billing Boats Colin Archer (wood hull). Probably will take me atleast two years before finnish. With RC and several winches for the sails. Recommended to weight about 10 kg when finnish.
It is a big one. I had build the smaller Colon Archer from Billings. Good luck building!
Those are not tell tales, they are used to tie the belly of the sail when reefed :)
Though nowadays yawl describes the rig, historically it was a general term for a hull, fishing boat or build. Why a relatively recent ketch should be termed a yawl appears to follow no logic, also FD is the registration for Fleetwood UK. Another mystery.
With regard to the kit, and Billings in general, I fear that they are let down with appalling timber and fittings. Sometimes I use the hull parts as templates for a scratch build and use good timber, bits like plastic blocks are discarded along with the rigging line. An expensive way I know but much better results.
You made a good job of this one, well done.
If you want to impress at a 'nautical' gathering on a yawl the mizzen mast is "abaft the after perpendicular"!!
Fantastic build!
Thank you, Ian
做的好精致🎉 就是船底贴木条，好像应该两边同时粘木条的，这样两边的受力是一样的哈
谢谢。这条还好，之前的bulwark cap 已经让bulkheads都定型了。
Ketch or yawl, I can't tell - in Faroese they are broadly referred to as slupp, or sloop if you will. And they weren't built in the Faroe Islands, at least not originally, but were bought used from Britain and these vessels laid the foundation to the transition of the Faroes from a farming nation to a successful seafaring/fishing nation.
Nice work on that model :)
🙏 Thank you
They look like pilot cutters. Also looks familiar to Leo's Tally Ho. Check out his videos on YT. He is rebuilding Tally Ho from the keel up.
Should have used a subdeck and a shift of butts of three or four, not one. Rudder pintles should have been inset. Otherwise a pretty good build.
Good day from Canada, how long it takes to build this model ? I'm interested on wooden ships and as you said this looks nice for a beginner. Cheers!
Hi Carlos, it took me about 90-100 hours to build. If it will be your first boat, it may take a bit longer. You can also check out my other beginner builds such as Dory and Pram. Good luck building!
@@EZmodeling Thank you for your feedback, I have experience building wooden airplane kits, but I'll follow your advice, I like your boat 101 to do first, something simple, thank you again and keep those videos coming 🙂
I’m definitely not a sailor, but I’ve been carefully following the rebuilding of the Tally Ho, incredible effort, planning and skill!
The Tally Ho is Similar in some ways to your model.
I’ve spent a lot of time building and operating model trains. But this hobby is getting overwhelmed with electronics and computers and software. I long for a simpler time! The idea of carefully assembling a wood / metal / plastic / cloth model really appeals to me.
I have a warm enclosed gazebo in our backyard - it would be a great place to build a model like this! When I’ve done enough for a day, just get up and 😅walk away!
Thanks for posting this!
Hi Ed, I also into n-scale train models, and I hear you. You can also check out the Tram wood model kits by Occre. I will make some videos of building their trams in the future. Good luck building, Ed!
Is the “white glue”just PVA? (Poly Viynal Adhesive) used in wood working?
Yes
How do you make a building stand??? It seems an impossible task without the building stand
You can purchase the build slip (building stand) from billing boats. Or use a big bench vice to hold the keel.
Not sure the decking is quite right. Most ships use 3 or 4 butt pattern to provide more spacing between plank ends.
Why the daft computer reading it with all the mispronunciations?
Ketch
I'd rather sail in one ;-)
Why couldn't the ships ID, FD10, be transferred? You left the whole sticker there!
Yeah, I was trying to remove it but did not work out. Good eyes!
Lenght and beam please
All dimensions are at the very end of the video, My friend.
It is a beginners kit I understand, but the plastic parts detract from the art of wooden ship model building!
Yes and no, I think. For advanced players like you, the plastic parts can be easily replaced. For beginners, the plastic parts require less tools, time and skills to handle.
Maybe a good video, but couldn’t watch it because of the terrible AI voice generator with all the mispronunciation 😮
Yep, the Morgan Freeman AI voice is super annoying.
We can do without the sound effects
a little too swooshy for my taste
sorry, couldn't watch because of the artificial voice over
OK, assemble your first boat from a kit, but please, build all others proudly from scratch.
Not really good advice for everyone, as not everyone has the patience, or the desire to put together all the necessary tools and research to do a scratch build correctly. Even with a kit a wooden ship can take hundreds or even a thousand plus hours to build, and making all the parts from scratch and getting it right can multiply that number. Giving this advice to everyone making wooden ships would simply drive away 99% of the builders.
I really hate the AI voice. Can't watch it. Why not just do it yourself.
What is wrong with doing your own voice-over? The auto reading voice is robotic and has odd pronunciation.
Painting the hull of a boat is for amateurs so you can not see the mistakes they made planking it 🙄🙄👎👎👎👎
So, why the real wooden boats are painted? You can check out my other videos in which ships were not paint.
