can you please give us an email address where Tony Burgoyne can be contacted? He has stated in his mail to you that he would welcome questions etc but I can't find a way to get in touch with him. best Claes Posted by: bkempins« on: 15 February 2017, 20:31:19 »Did the builder use the Mould Deans Hull for this build?
Posted by: tony burgoyne« on: 08 October 2016, 19:05:31 »i did not use any drawings to build the model--but i had a big advantage in that i had built twenty something panamax and cape size when working--the deams hull is ideal for panamax size--you may care to look at a website--shipspotters.com---they have lots of photographs of all ships and it is constantly updated--it is a well organised site--if you can print off some good size photgraphs then it is not too hard to scale off with dividers--the model has bulkheads between each cargo hold and a final bulkhead between hold seven and the engine room--it is powered by a single shaft--four bladed propellor with a big battery--it needs a lot of rolled roofing lead to get it down to its waterline--and you have to be able to get it in and out though the cargo hatches or you just need lots of bodies to lift it--i added two robbe thrusters one forward and one aft--not something a real bulk carrier would have--i am happy to answer any questions

It looks fantastic. Can you recommend any drawings for your panamax build? best wishes mikael Posted by: tony burgoyne« on: 07 October 2016, 13:14:05 »there is not really a scale--there are three types of bulk carrier--geared --with cranes--panamax and cape size--this hull is really not for geared carriers--too big--so it was either panamx or cape--cape have usually nine cargo holds--to my mind that was too many for the deans hull it would not look in proportion --panamax have seven holds and seven seems to look right--plus i have built panamax bulk carriers in japan and korea--my wife christine launched two and was the lady sponser for both--so it seemed appropriate to build panamax and call it after christine--my best wishes--tony
