Hello to all members
My name is Carlos Mariano , live in Portugal near Lisbon.
I´m a model builder,just for pleasure,and in this moment I´ m building a 1920 fishing Trawler.
In my search for details , I found a few interesting sites just like yours.
If you agreed , I shall post some images of my model,and I wish to change some building details with you.
Those fishing boats are long time disapear ,and is very dificult to find elements to help on the model building.
If you agreed, I like to share with you the evoluction of my work
Thank you very mutch
Best Regards
Carlos Mariano

Hello Carlos
I am sure the members here would be very interested to see the evolution of your 1920 Fishing Trawler. I know I will! Go right ahead! There hasn't been much happening here since Ian McIntosh built his model steam drifter Jeannie McIntosh - this project was followed with great interest by a sizeable group of people.

In this English forum I tell the model building story www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=14841I like to express here ,my great wish to make relations with the people of the old boatyards ,specialy Fishing Trawlers, because there are so many questions about details ,life on board ,old tools ,and fishing arts to learn. These boats are disapeard long time ,and they are so beautiful |

Hello Ian and good evening.
Thanks for your reception.
Well , The Modelboatmayhem is one of my favorite sites.
I dont miss any upgrade.
My wonder is; to have a discussion about this old steam fishing boats with a specialist ,a old boatbuilder who remember the old tecniks,the old steam mechanic etc.
I hope that will happen here , on this forum, let´s give life to the forum ,even talking about model boats.
Best Regards

Carlos, You will find that Davie Tait is a real mine of information, he comes from a line of North sea fishermen in The North of Scotland. He uses the mayhem forum and also has another website with hundreds of new and old pictures at: www.trawlerphotos.co.uk/Ian |

Hello Carlos
There is a book you would very much enjoy - if you haven't already seen it.
'From Tree to Sea' Ted Frost
The building of a wooden steam drifter - great illustrations and great book.
