Title: Inspired by PS "Will O'the Wisp"
Post by: Taifoon78 on March 26, 2011, 08:10:56 AM
My current shipbuilding project. Unnhistorical toy. Inspired by the 3D renderings of Will o' the Wisp (http://www.flickr.com/photos/36584779@N05/sets/72157622407852304/detail/)
 Hull lines based on PS "Britanny" (http://www.paddleducks.co.uk/smf/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=350). I'm just stretched it to the ratio of waterline length to width. In my project this value is 9. For "Will O'the Wisp" this value in a variety of sources 9 or 10.  "Britanny" - 7.7.
Hull - plywood frame covering papier-mache.
Current state - layout and assembly mechanisms.

I have to admit that the Will O'the Wisp is a very attractive looking ship! I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress?

Construction of hull.
Plywood frames and papier-mache shell.
The top layer of paper also simulates a sheet cladding.

Hi there

Nice work on an interesting subject.

There seems to be a degree of interest in ACW blockade-runners in the group!

I've never come across papier-mache as a hull material before but it sounds a really great idea..what do you use to seal/waterproof/harden the final hull?

Cheers...Bernie

Hi,  :)
In this hull I use PVA glue for assembly frames and layers of shell. Than finished it with epoxy. About this technology

http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://yomi.hut1.ru/BoxVessels/index.html (http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://yomi.hut1.ru/BoxVessels/index.html)

and

http://www.paddleducks.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5065.0 (http://www.paddleducks.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5065.0)

And also I'm read about using silicate adhesive. (http://translate.google.co.uk/translate/ (http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B9) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate))
It does not require finish with epoxy or another waterproof and harden material. This  glue, as I read, using also for hull of submarine models from 60's.

Looks very nice...well done!!!

I'm interested in your 'devil' speed/direction controller design as I'm thinking of using electromechanical now in my 'Presto'. I like the mast head lights...I might go for those too.

Light and nice build--The Civil War sure produced so many innovative designs - on the sea- under the sea and on the battle field!! Is your parquet floor in 4" squares? So your hull is about 22" long?
Title: Re: Inspired by PS "Will O'the Wisp"
Post by: Taifoon78 on March 14, 2012, 05:10:16 AM
Thank you.

The mast head lights - it is a JST-female + LED
The speed controller - foto in built progress: http://karopka.ru/bitrix/components/bitrix/forum.interface/show_file.php?fid=315141 (http://karopka.ru/bitrix/components/bitrix/forum.interface/show_file.php?fid=315141)

The hull lenght is about 32,5''  ( 83,5 cm ). width - 3,5'' (9 cm).
The floor - linoleum  with   6,5'' "parquet" square

Last project - lifeboats for my ship. It was the main subject of my construction at  last two week. And now I know how it make. Not excellent, but on the right way. As I think.
At attached pictures, you can see the plan that I used for the last variant of lifeboats. Also you can see the previous variant  - #1 (hull) and #2 (form for the hull). At the same pictures #4 clear lifeboats hull, and #3 - planked with paper strips.

Thanks for a very valuable idea.

Hi there

Looks really very nice indeed...definitely has the 'feel'.

Has she had her maiden voyage yet?

And...you must be planning your next one by now??...

Cheers......Bernie

No she has not had her maiden voyage yet. Some part of engine and RC was removed and not finished. Actually, superstructures and funnels not fixed on his places. They standing there only for photo.

I have one unfinished experimental project. It's not about paddle steamer.

Yes. You are right, derekwarner_decoy. It's don't like me to. I should make it right way from the beginning.
Title: Re: Inspired by PS "Will O'the Wisp"
Post by: Taifoon78 on August 27, 2012, 06:17:53 AM
During the last time I have some problem with engine and accumulator battery. The engine was too weak, and I replaced it with more powerfull one. But battery I will replace in the future.
Also I was forced to improve the rudder-control system. Previouse scheme was not so good in the water.
And during the construction, I was made mistake with weights placement. The stern too deeper in water. Not as I expected.

Today was the first sea trial. The wether was fine for this event. No wind, and no waves.

Hi all!
Some photo from last weekend. It was the sea trial with a gale (wind 7 meters per second and big waves on the water). And after this was a small photosession in shallow puddle.

She looks really great in the repaint and very nice action photos too.

I presume that the plans and keel/hull sections are for a new model?

Post by: Taifoon78 on December 27, 2013, 11:37:42 PM
Thank you  :)

Yes. You are right. In this hull I used pine planks 2x2mm and 2x10mm for stringers, 3x4mm for keel. For frames, stem and stern-post I use a 1mm plywood. It made possible to use a scissor for cuting frames. Also for stern and stem I used a balsa wood plank.

Happy Xmass and a New Year.
Title: Re: Inspired by PS "Will O'the Wisp"
Post by: Spankbucket on December 28, 2013, 08:01:18 PM
Great Idea!!!

Where did you source such small thickness  pine wood? My guess is you cut/planed it for yourself?

Good Luck for 2014

Happy New Year!

I had a luck to find a bit of this wood in one small modeling shop in my town. It is an components for building a planes models. In another case, I will forced to cut a planks from a wooden rulers or buy it is in the internet or order it is in a carpentry workshop. In this case it will be a few expensive and аlso it will take a little more time.

Some years ago I had a luck to laser cut the some pairs of wheels from acrylic plastic. This wheels is a little bit fragile. They have a seven paddles. And a width near 25 mm and diameter near 90 mm.

Well and  truly a modeller Gerald.
Never known a personal model that finished on time or under budget.
