Thanks Patrick… I appreciate the images. I will be following the way depicted in the first set of pictures you listed from the museum. Yes, I believe, the most historically accurate. -

Starting some work on the channels, chainplates, and deadeyes. I added a 2x2 mm backing on the channels in order to get a better gluing surface to the hull. Also, the chainplates included in the kit are unfortunately short by 3 in number and they are definitively too long (per the plans) as I believe they should affix to the black strake immediately below the channel and not the hull. Noticed some variation of their attachments on both the dutch websites as well on MSW. I think it looks cleaner attaching to the black strake. Anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Did some fiddling with the stern ornaments... mostly painting. I did not find them bad with regards to cleanup of edges and margins. Lots of fiddling though getting the corners to fit and to have smooth transitions to the ornaments. Not always an easy task!

Some work to report on the gun port lids. Mamoli has them precut and then you just add the exterior planking and hinges. There are two sizes of gun port lids, one slightly larger than the other for the lowest row of guns, the dummy guns... which will be added later. I know other Mamoli Friesland builders have referenced their kits having abnormally long dummy guns... unfortunately my old vintage has the dummy guns that are too long. I will figure out that problem at a later date.

Problem solved James… Thanks for your suggestion… I simply cleared my browsing history to “all time” on the IPad and the MSW browsing experience was back to normal Strange that only the MSW website was affected given I have about 35 other tabs open on my Safari browser. Anyways, thanks! -

Thanks for your reply Paul… The resolution you noted doesn’t seem to work for me.. It’s strange as this happens only on MSW and just recently started. Cheers, -
There has been a change in the browser experience when scrolling on MSW for me and my IPad. I noticed in the last 5-6 days when scrolling, the page is constantly refreshing and not loading the page in its entirety (at once) when first on the page. Quite irritating and it is only with MSW’s website on my Safari browser. Not sure why and if anyone else has this problem?

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pictures of the model ship exhibition! I have been to the Scheepvaart Museum but I must go one year, one weekend to the model ship exhibition.

Thanks Ronald for your reply... Yes, these creations really start to come alive with the deck fittings.

Here is some wider perspective shots should anyone be interested. Deck fittings and railing is now done... which was easy work. PS I had to cut some strip wood from some darker walnut stock I have in order to get all the deck fitting matching to a darker walnut The last picture is the included boats with the kit. I will try and "pump" them up a bit but if that fails I reached out to Kolderstock models in Holland as they have a scaled replacement boat that looks very good! I will be taking a little break now as I have a ton of fall yard work to do at this time and also to get ready for the winter tires on the vehicles. Plus perhaps pay a little more attention to my wife 😊

More details completed on the deck... first the railings and then the bits. Materials are always tight with the old vinatge Mamoli kits. I bought a used Proxxon saw and have started to put it to good use, specifically for the 2x3 strips.
