Yes, for gold, yellow may be a better choice as a base. Jan

That is really nice! Jan

Seen any useless tools around lately? or perhaps: seen from the positive: any very usefull tools?? Jan

Warping seems to be you major problem in this stage..... She's going to be a large ship. unless, you're much smaller than I think ( ), your model is quite a bit larger than I expected. I exepected it to be around a meter length or so.... I once saw a buildlog of someone filling in all the spaces between the bulkheads with some kind of isolationfoam, to make an even surface, and make the forming and planking of the hull easier, without increasing much to the weight of the sub.

Nice! Or: dat ziet er mooi uit! Sometimes I think it's a pity that Billings has these ships not in their original 'working boat' outfit, but in their converted yachtlike outfit. It implies that the only detailing you could do to the kit is laced curtains (yes, definitely missing those ), while they used to be ships used for quite a lot of small business: fishing, but also transport of (small) life stock.

That's the one. Most Dutch sources name this ship as the Hydra. (but the ships are all very much alike) Build as river-monitors, in service long after there armament was adequate . Jan

Corel should be ashamed of their own kits.... Both the lion and the 'curved ladies' are alos part of the Prins Willem- kit..... Why did you go for a yellow base colour for the lion? I would have thought taking red as the base colour..... Jan

Greg, Remco will probably take this as a challenge.... Jan
-
you have the type of ship correct, but there it stops.... Jan
-
Here's the next ship. As sources are a bit contradictory, I'll take any name of the class as correct answer. Jan

In the line of tools that are not so useful: I discovered that the amati-rigging tools can be replaced by a few tweaked needles, and are therefore not technically 'a waste' but you could achieve the same result for less money. Jan

Even better: become a grown-up and never use inches again Jan

Glad you're back. Your model is fantastic! Jan -
Searching for See Adler I found her .... Jan

Ed, I have a bit of a silly question, I'm affraid. You show your treenailing using bamboo, using white glue (?). Every now and then, you wash the glue. Does this washed off glue not penetrate the wood, and thus make it more difficult to apply a finish afterwards? Jan
-
I guess she is. Jan
-
That's a real black box I like the way you disguised the corners of it, by allowing the black paint on the deck itself. Jan

The one with flowers on his head (actually, on his crown) is the lion on the Zeven Provincien in Lelystad. Jan

The lady in white suggests an other famous teaclipper Jan

I meant the second: will it remain in the correct curvature when dried. Jan
-
Just wondering: will your deckbeams hold their curve? Jan
