SS. Noggsund

I am planning on building this swedish coaster from the my hobby store plans and can't find any pics of either the real thing or a model can any one help please

Here we go again!

 

Looks like a controlled start?....all neat and tidy?....................Bob

Doubt it'll stay that way long Bob. And funny you should open with that comment! Her who must be obeyed said those exact same words . I am going to try the resin on card technique with this one just to see how easy/hard/impossible it is but 1st I need some deck shots of a completed model to answer a few questions left by the plans

Phil,

 

The Noggsund is a "typical" Scandinavian coaster model designed by Glynn Guest and is not intended to represent any specific prototype. Rather it is an amalgam of designs and illustrations published in Mike Bent's book "Steamers of the Fjords" published in 1998. You may be able to obtain a copy here: http://www.antiqbook.co.uk/boox/humm/01_5951.shtml

 

You imply that you have the plans but not Glynn's accompanying article in the August 2009 issue of Model Boats which was profusely illustrated with photos of construction and of the original model (plus the free plan of course!). If you are intending to build the model then I would recommend that you purchase the August issue from the back issues dept on this website, or by ringing customer services on 0844 848 8822 or by emailing them at customer.services@myhobbystore.com

 

There is also a picture of a Noggsund built by Larry Whetton in the November issue of the magazine which is due to hit the bookstands tomorrow.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Colin

I had a copy of Steamers of the Fjords some time ago, and it is a wonderful book with amazing amounts of detailing......if you want to go down that road of Norwiegian steamers, it's worth it's weight in gold.

Thanks for that Colin I will check the aug issue out that was one I missed a friend passed the plan to me and with it not being listed at my hobby store assumed it was out of print. as for the book well as they say xmas is coming

Hello to all on forum:

I have built this coastal freighter as of the plans from August Magazine.

Not happy with it size I doubled it and completed a second one.

lenght 51 1/4"  width apx 71/4" depth 8.0"

It is constructed on 1/8" plywood and 1/8" stripped cedar.

only problem I had was forming the stern.

Will finish the hull in fiberglass and paint it later.I have decided to do the rails in brass and solder them together. Just trying to figure out how I will attach them. If interested in photographs of the vessel contact me via my email.

Thanks for that Alan I have located a copy of the august issue of the mag but a few photo's of your larger scale version would be appreciated. I found the stern best done in narrow vertical wedge shaped strips. I have the hull almost complete in mount card waiting for a coat of resin and glass tissue to waterproof and strengthen it. how are you dealing with the rail junction between the cabins as i feel this area will be weak if its all attached to the rear cabin roof/sun deck.

 

The Hull so far
