Or one of the others from that class..... They all look fairly similar to me Jan

Not so easy perhaps, but you succeeded! Jan

And chances are that the original was also free hand painting.... Your lettering fits the period quite well! Jan

Build in 1745? Jan

Hmmm... wheels are not allowed here (unless they are used on a gun truck) A pity, I was wondering whether or not you took plastic as serious as wood.... Jan

Plymouth, Portsmouth, It's all on the Channel coast, and starts with a P. He's coming from Aussieland, on his map England is just a mere dot Jan

That plastic kit, is that a ship? Jan

HMS something, 16 gun brig of the royal navy. Just a couple of hundreds to choose from Jan

You can tell him, we did before, but the only response we got from him so far is that he keeps on throwing away previous work, and showing us something even better..... Jan

http://www.fonv.nl/vbb/galerij/VN4.html It's an botter originally build in Urk in 1899, and now recreational purposes. She was rather heavily restpored in 2000 http://www.johvdmeulen.nl/pr-bottervn4.html Old ships for recreational purposes are allowed to use their last known fishing registration (this one VN4, wich is for Vollenhove) Jan

But apart form botters and kwakken there are many ships around on the Dutch inland and shore waters. Many belong to a certain 'group', but the variations between ships from various villages and even various builders within a village were large. Many of the ships therefore have apart from their type (botter, kwak, bol, schokker, bons, blazer, punter, hoogaars, schouw etc) an indication of the village/region they were build: Marken, volendam, urk spakenburg, schelde etc.) Local variations existed dus to different sailing and fishing conditions, but also just do to local habits. Almost all these ships were build to specification of the owner/schipper of the ship, so even personal preferences may have played a role. Jan

Hi Pat, Single mast and side vanes isn't enough to identify a Dutch wooden vessel. (but being in Volendam, it's presumably a botter ) Jan

Merci beaucoup! Jan

Hi David, I have been looking quite a long time for the French ship. I can't find any French Iphigenie's from the steam era. Can you give some more info please? And now for the dazzle paint.... Jan
