Before i started work on the Well Enhancer i had the Seven Atlantic on the planning as my next ship.
First plans were to build her in scale 1:50, but that means she would be 2,90m long, which is way to big.
Therefore i decided that 1:100 would be better, but then the interior would cause problems as that would had been too small.
Besides that, the Josse I still wasn't anywhere near completion, so i decided to wait till Josse I would had been finished and till i had found a solution for the scale problem.
Then i started working on the real Well Enhancer, and that made me start building a model of her too.
For the model i thought that scale 1:75 would be easy to calculate without a calculator, but i quickly found out i was wrong, but some special rulers have got that scale, so that solved the problem.
Also the issue of the interior was solved with scale 1:75.
Then i decided to build the Seven Atlantic in scale 1:75 as well, but starting this build would have to wait till a have the room for this giant, and till the Well Enhancer would at least be at detailing stage.
I still don't have the room to build her, but i'm working on the planning for the wiring and electronics for quite some time now.
The plans are to go even further with functions then i will on Well Enhancer, and majorly use all i've learnd on Well Enhancer to improve the building process of Seven Atlantic.
Some of the new functions are the gangways which can be deployed, more derricks, an entire warehouse for food and drinks for the crew, more groups of lights so i can turn on and off each of the DP-controls seperatly for example.
Seven Atlantic also has more boats on board, which will all be able to be deployed.
The planning is only at the starting stage currently, but i will find much more functions.
Control will be about the same as for Well Enhancer, using an instrumentpanel on the shore.
Here are some facts about the real ship:
Length: 145m
Breadth: 26m
Draught: 7m
DP-class: 3
Crew: 150
And here the model:
Length: 1,93m
Breadth: 0,35m
Draught: 0,08m
Number of working functions: Over 100, precise number not yet known.
Engine's: 3 Speed 700 Torque's, each powering an asipod, and 1 700 Torque powering a tunnel-bowthruster.
Hull will be build of polyester using a mold.
I will also use more plastics and metals.
Here's a photo of the real ship:
On the Well Enhancer i found out that even models of this size still aren't very accesseable inside, so on Seven Atlantic i will first place all the electronics and wiring inside the the hull, and add all the in- and outlets before i place the deck.
I will also use a false deck to be sure there wont come any water inside the hull.
When the false deck has been placed and tested i will continu with the first deck, and apply the walls on it.
The walls which are hard to reach will be placed fully completed so i can build everything in the best quality i can.
The detailing which is easy to reach will be placed last of all.
Greetings Josse
