I also used Bob's method. I found it useful to mark the centre of the dowel with a small pinhole before starting the tapering. That helped to keep the whole thing more or less centered. Jan

Yep, you've seen her before. Thereofre, I should not accept Noordzee as an answer However, as Rode zee (which is the one in the picture) and Noordzee are completely identical (although guys who actually have sailed on her tell that there are differences between the sisters), feel free to present us a great laker Jan
-
it is Jan
-
Great! (and large with the masts on...) Jan
-
Ah, that's long ago I have posten one. Here it comes (dont tell Andy/realworkingsailor, he will not like this one )
-
First I thought mediterranean, but then I realized: it looks like a Dutch or German 'kotter'. going through a list of sail Amsterdam and Sail de Ruyter, I came across her name: Thalassa Jan
-
I have way to go..... I used to be a rear admiral Jan
-
Hey, this previous good for nothing post seems to be my 100. I earned my first stripe! btw: Sjors: where did you find this invisible fairy writing your name? Jan
-
Popeye needs some spinach I think..... He's loosing the connection to the real world Jan
-
Something, no matter what, even a pic of popcorn will do Jan
-
A rat-trap? to catch popcorn?? Oh.... I understand... but Sjors is too large for that Jan
-
I think Slagoon actually mentioned her? Jan
-
Oh isn't there a brass ring then?... Bowl of popcorn, then, perhaps? Jan
-
the ZOO, obviously! What nonsense: keeping Andy from tying knots. You guys'll do anything to get your previous post-ranks back! Jan
-
Was Arabia a hospital ship (at least, that's what I think the troop-connection in WWI is)? Jan
-
........ I presume that that large chunk of wood at the right hand side of the pucture is a tree-nail in real life? How are you going to paint this fantastic little crown? A one-haired brush will be way too thick Jan
-
Your text-log is gone, but your pics are as good as the accompanying text! Thanks for reposting! Jan
-
3 years? As Arjan syis: mine is in and out the workshiop for 13 years bij now. Actually, he is more bothered by a record than I am: building is something I do for fun, and as soon as fun (and/or available time) is gone, I just leave it were it stands. Can we see a pic of your PW? Jan
-
You mean: posting including the name? From own experience I can tell: sometimes names are hidden in the clouds, in the waves, in the filename, of just plainly written on the sides of the ship.... Jan
-
Thanks for anmswering. Yes, I know the pictures by Van Yk. I was wondering whether or not you found anything written on the dimensions and scale of the lines and circles in these pictures. But apparently: no rules given by Van Yk. Jan
-
Thinking aloud: Not French, becasue the bow doesn't fit. Not HMS, as I can not find anything like it. Could be spanish (used in the spanish/mexican war....) Jan
-
Probably a protected cruiser, this one.... But still no clue which one Jan
-
Hi Gyula, I see in your picture of the frames the quarter circle in the lower ricgt corner. Van Yk also shows these little circles. But what I don't understand: what diameter is used for these little circles? Second remark: your gunports in the stern seems to be placed quite high under the 'heckbalk'. Will the gunports lids fit under the transom? btw do you know this link: http://www.otteblom.nl/ It's in Dutch, but you will certainly understand the drawings Jan
-
I also thought it was washington: but washinton has two hawseholes, this one has ony one...... Jan
-
That's not strange: the Eendracht 1666 was not owned by the VOC, but was a ship of the admirality (like e.g. the Zeven Provincien was.) Up till 1650 many of the war ships were adapted merchant ships owned by the VOC, and rented out to the navy... Jan
