I’ve got two barrels now, one plain first try, and the second one with all the decoration and modifications in the size. This is okay: size of the spindle and diameter of the inner barrel

It is resin (credits to my son who designed it after an original 17th century canon), 3D printed on a resin printer. I coated it with real bronze powder, soluted in schellack, and gave it a ammonia treatment to give it the authentic weathered look. We can print in in almost any scale, but the maximum length is roughly 20 cm. The carriage is made out of oak, but for the kit this will be most likely elm (which was the most used wood for carriages, according to Blom). I am still “struggling” with the size of the weels, as they might be a bit to large.

You might find this interesting: we have started some time ago with the development of a kit of a 17th century bronze canon. This should come to live somewhere this year. @ Olli, sorry for interrupting your log.

The hole in the barrel is just a few mm deep, as drilling them deeper caused production difficulties (and a lot higher production price). I just glued them in position with a drop of pva glue underneath it. Hans

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

A little bit late from my side, but yes, it is available!

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.

Statenjacht by Melissa T. - FINISHED - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50

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

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
