  1. Very nice work! When I was busy designing this little ship as a model kit, I had great difficulties finding gratings in larger quantities for an acceptable price. Therefore the covered version 🙂
  2. You could go for closed gunports, and stow the cannons to the sides of the ship, parallel to the hull. If not in use the cannons where put aside to the hull, tight up with ropes.
  3. Looking very fine! Regarding your photo of the deadeyes: make sure they all are mounted in the correct position, with two holes on top and one on the bottom. They should look like a surprised young lady. A deadeye is called a “juffer” in Dutch, and this is an old fashion word (17th century) for a young (unmarried) lady. If you look at it you will see.
  4. Then, about the decorations and carvings. We are busy replacing every decoration for 3D designed and printed ones. This is unfortunately a very time consuming and therefore slow process.
  5. Ha, I did not see thus topic before, until I was noticed about it on the Dutch forum. Very nice work you’ve been doing here, and completely in the Dutch way, where every ship was uniquely decorated to the wishes of the owner and captain.
  6. A little bit late from my side, but yes, it is available!
  7. Sorry for the delayed answer - we are on a short holiday. Your first photo shows the correct way, although if you do/did it in the second way it will not cause great difficulties.
  8. It is a small vessel, and more important, a pleasure yacht. Not meant to sleep in or make long voyages with it. It was just for fun, to have a nice day on the water. So I presume there was some simple food and drinks, like roasted duck, champagne and caviar and not much more. Hans
  9. I do have a few images, one made by René Hendricx, on behalf of Ab Hoving (who has worked out the original charter, made by the 17th century writer van Yk, into this model) and some paintings from around 1640 which have been an inspiration for me for this particular model. But they don't really give a clue how the inside of the Speel-jaght was fitted out. Hans
  10. Oh sure! Thank you for this nice start. If you have any questions you can always contact me via this forum, pm, our website kolderstok.com or via email 🙂 Hans Kolderstok
  11. Hello Syhobbs, Could you please send some photos to kolderstok at gmail.com? I will have a look at them and see if I can find a solution for you. Hans Kolderstok Edit: in the meantime I did have contact with Syhobbs. It turned out he had an old batch of ornaments, where the kit nowadays has newly sculpted and formed ones. A new set is in the make for him. Hans
