I like those pics along the hull. Make her beautifull lines show Jan

Gun completed....? That's what you sais last year, after doing quit a bit of rope;making and rigging,and before you discovered PE.... I'm wondering: what will be the next thing you discover to enhance your already perfect guns....? casting bronze in scale 1:100? functioning flintlocks? Jan

The problem is: her name is on the bow, but I can't read those black dots..... Jan

No idea which one this is, but I like these ships. clyde build (?), three mast square rigged. It's a shame no kits of these exist. They would do a nice 1:200 kit. Jan

Any chairs left, or am I (as usual) one of the guys popping in too late, and have to stand against the back wall? With respect to painting: no rules whatsoever, just preferences. So if you want - for some unknown reason - to paint her pink , or yellow, or whatever interesting colour - we will raise our eyebrows, and conclude that it is you build, and yours only Speaking for myself: I am very much attracted to the colourscheme of this boat. So, I would paint her if I had to choose. Jan

A question on working mizzen lateen sails
amateur replied to Stevinne's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I can't find the exact place (of course, I never do), but I've read somewhere that while making short tack, the sail was left to one side, however, when longer distances were sialed, the sail was set at the leeside. This was at least normal havbit in early VOC-days (1600-1630). The foot of the mizzen yard was taken round the back of the mast and brought forward again on the 'correct side'. Whether this practice was continued when sails got larger I don't know. Jan -
We would love to see some more of this beautiful model. However, we also appreciate your reposting of everything that led to this result. (actually, whatever you post is appreciated ) I will (probably) never do a model like this, but I'm severely tempted to buy your book on this model. Jan

I know you have the harbour close by: Sjors explained it in an other thread on this forum. Jan

Go to the Maas, en take a pic of what is going by.... We can't google your pic, and we have to do it just by the looks of it. (make sure you make a note of the name yourself ) Jan

Hi Piet, Probably you already know, but do you have the pics of O19 and O20 that are on maritiemdigitaal.nl? http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getadvancedsearch&database=&needimages=false&searchterm=&allfields=&title=&keyword=&creator=&collection=&shipname=O%2019%2C%20Hr%2EMs%2E&invno=&museum=&startrow=1 Jan

Looks like Scharnhorst Jan
-
Because both ends of the rope should turn in the same direction (and in the same rotation speed). Not usiong a gear and attatchinhg the crank on the 'rope-holding tube' itself will cause the rope to twist. Jan

I guess it's a rather small vessel. perhaps coastal, perhaps even under gt 10000. Jan
-
very little to go on. Hazy picture, no background, rather standard design. Even no names visible in the pic... Jan
-
How did I miss this one? Amazing work, up to the usual Dafi-standards. Jan

HMS Sloop Jan

That's very convincing. Looks like the real one! Jan
-
I'm pretty sure it's not a guess btw I like the Dutch church. Jan

Adrieke thought he made it difficult to google the pic
-
Google an image.We can't disqualify you, as it is not against the rules. However, what's the fun of it ? Googling makes it easy (unless Andy is putting up his home made pics of lakers that are already gone to the breakers yard by now) Jan
-
Masts and funnel fit the Ormuz, the white band at the bow does noet.... There are alos a number of white-star ships that have this "four mast+onefunnel"-configuration. hmmm..... Jan
-
Or a pilot cutter...... Jan

Could be an old icebreaker.... Jan
