  1. And this is the lion at the Batavia: JHaving a crown was quite uncommong (The ZP is one of the few ships known with a crowned lion)
  2. But Northam never had a fouth mast ?.... Jan
  3. Good point, I didn't realize ... I don't think that narrows the search down, however.... Jan
  4. Problem is: four masted barques with gunport paterns were pretty standard around those days..... Jan
  5. Wild guess, as I can't find this specific picture: is it Moshulu? Jan
  6. Wild uess, as I can't find this specific picture: is it Moshulu? Jan
  7. You can do it like this, but.... after attaching the lanyards, it is hardly visible that you did the 'vertical' seizing. Also: as the shrouds are far more playable that the Original stuff, puttin gthe whole thing at a ceratin amount of tension, tends to remove the little gap between the parts of the shroud. But okay, mine is scale 1:100, so at larger scale it will probably visible. But t's fun to do The vertical throat seizing is not done differently from the 'normal' ones: make a small loop in the shroud, make the seizing, then insert the deadeye and fiddle around until it is at the correct height, secure the seizing, and make a second (and third) one above the throat seizing.

  8. Might as well be one of many new zealand or australian wool ships..... Quite a few of those four masted ships have been build Jan
  9. I know the story (at least the MSW1-version of it) Had a discussion with him on the place where to find drawings of both Java and O19 in the Dutch archives. Jan

  12. Bingo: schooner reylands, rebuild as a brig (hispaniola) for the movie treasure Island. Jan
  13. Searching for ship+movie ends up in lots of pics of starship Enterprise, titanic or horation hornblower. All three are not correct, I presume.... Jan PS or pirates of the carribean, but it's certainly not the plack pearl
  14. This will go into the anals of modelbuilding as the best Royal Caroline ever. Jan
  15. Sure you don't use Google picture search ? It is Finland. Jan
  16. you should be able to recognize her Actually, you're about halfway, by recognizing her as a dutch tug Jan
  17. And don't stop too often, or you'll discover that every time you start is just like the first time.... Half an hour every three weeks isn't the right way to go (speaking from personal experience) Jan
  18. was there ever a movie on Minnesota? It's the Russians: Potemkim Jan
