Here is a new build. I will build this one at a hobby model club. So it don't go fast! Between 1997 and 1999 a replica of the Duyfken( Little Dove ) was built in Freemantle ,Australia to commemorate the first discovery of Australia. When she was in Holland I was visiting her and I always want to build her. And Kolderstok make a kit so at least her she is. Length 650 mm Width 250 mm Height 550 mm And then a few pictures of what was in the box Sjors

This will be my second build, after dipping my toes in the water with the Swampscott Dory. I chose this kit because of my historical interest in the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, and I wanted to build a ship more challenging than the dory but also not beyond my still nascent skill set. Clear and comprehensive instructions were also important to me, as well as excellent customer service. Kolderstok checked all these boxes, so I chose one of their simpler kits. I ordered directly from Hans in Dordrecht to take advantage of the customizations he offers on his website - a ship-specific paint set, upgraded blocks, and an oak stand. I was very impressed when the kit arrived by the careful packaging and the outstanding quality of all materials. I only found two other build logs on MSW of Kolderstok kits, and they both had similar comments. I believe this is a top-notch company. In between finishing my dory and waiting for the Statenjacht to arrive, I studied planking techniques with the fantastic resources here on MSW. As with the dory, I plan to take a slow, methodical, and patient approach to this model - the fun is in the journey! I started about a week ago and I’ve got the bulkheads in place as well as the balsa filler at the bow. I’m taking a lot of time with fairing as this step is so crucial. I’m using a couple of the planks that I bent with my nifty new plank bender to test fit along the bulkheads. So here I go - build #2!

I'm going to start on the Batavia by Kolderstok. I was attracted to this model because of the colors (see Pic #1), and also because I wanted to try out a Kolderstok model. What's in the box: Laser cut boards Lots of wood Parts Instruction manual and plan sheets Note the manual -- I really like manuals with accompanying pictures. There's also an interesting parts bag with white resin-like parts. I haven't seen this before. Either it's injection molded, or possibly done on a 3D printer, which would be a first for me. I ordered this model directly from Kolderstok (http://www.kolderstok-models.com/index.en.html), and I want to particularly commend the wonderful pre-sale service I received from Hans van Nieuwkoop. I had outstanding communication from him via email, and he offered me several different customization options, one of which (an all-walnut second-planking) I took, because I like the look of all-wood hulls vs. painted hulls. Really excellent service and professional shipping. So here we go on another one. I haven't seen any logs on Batavia, so I hope this one contributes. Regards, David

Hi all, Because of the fact that I lost my interest and the enthusiasm for some of my started models, these were canceled and the corresponding build logs deleted. Other projects such as the build of the Bounty, Gunboat William and the HMS Endeavor take a break. After a visit to the Batavia shipyard in Lelystad / Netherlands, I finally started to realize my long-standing desire to build a model. The Kolderstok kit was ordered and the construction began, this was in July already. Unfotunately I didn't take pictures from the beginning, so the Photos below show the Status as of today.

My second wooden ship model build... De Duyfken VOC verkenningsjacht (scouting yacht) 1595-1608, a pinas. From Kolderstok scale 1:50. Lenght about 65cm, height 55 cm, width 25 cm. Armament: 10 cannons and 4 swivel guns. Link to the Duyfken replica foundation Being Dutch, I'm proud of our maritime history and achievements. I'm well aware and of course not proud of the many horrible things our exploring forefathers did to gain power and wealth. Nonetheless, their exploring achievements were remarkable and it's almost unbelievable such a tiny country managed to become a powerhouse. I'm excited to start this build, still so much to learn and I think this is a good choise for my second build. I got the kit last year as a Christmas gift from the Admiral. Since I believe this is the first Kolderstok Duyfken on this forum, let's have a look at what you get.... From Kolderstok...the kit, the extra gun set (4 guns) and a resin name plate. I was happy to find the (out of print, Dutch translation) National Geographic book about the building of the replica ship. Superb photo's...very helpful. There's no ship's boat included, but since you can't discover the world without one...I bought a suitable resin one. And inside the box... Wow!...a lot! Very nice step by step manual with good colour photo's. In Dutch, there's an English version included also. Wood... Good quality planks and dowels, the laser cut parts look really sharp. The larger parts are pre-cut to make life easier. Bits and bobs box... Looks good...resin and thin laser cut ship decorations, white metal anchor and 4 small swivel guns, brass cannons, neat looking blocks, brass nails, several types of rope and cloth for the flags. The printed flags (good colours!) can be ironed on this cloth. Also included is fabric for the sails. Fine quality, cream colour. 2 large plans, a part list and a seperate manual on how to build the grating. Well...I guess that's all nice and fine. Now let's see what I can do with it. I can start when I cleared my workspace, so...the usual: More soon! Robin
