    Looks good. I actually expected a rather even coat of grey.... this looks a lot livelier Jan

    silly question: what type/thickness of cardboard do you use for the outer skin? Jan

    So, two people running a whi,e day likemad hamsters, to get one (or two) scoops up, and down....? how didthey empty thosescoops? Every timethe scoop was raised above waterlevel, they put a boat under it to empty the scoop? Sounds like a very time consuming proces....... Jan

    Now I start wondering: how did this machine actually work? I though it was somethink like the modern machines, with a number of scoops mounted on some kind of belt, but that wouldn fit on these large wheels, so.... could you explain? Jan

    Wow....it looks so tiny (it probably is...) that airbrushpressure might blow it apart..... Jan

    Worth only for the seller, not for the buyer

    Try scanning the build logs of Cog, or RGL They are quite experienced in weathering techniques (and folding incredibly small PE-parts ) Jan

    Hi John, I scanned some pics in the net and in my books, and I thinkg the rings should be placed against the aouter hull, so the wales and profiles are to be inletted in the mouldings. So: in principle no open space behind te mouldings. (but perhaps I'm wrong, as I am by no means an expert on English ships) Jan

    Actually, for the simpler models, the kidsversion works fine:) Jan

    is that head carved from wood, or is it sculpted using some kind of clay? (either way: it looks very convincing to me ) Jan

    But you will forget the pain once the work is finished and the results are as good as we expect them to be Jan

    Now knowing how huge this part is, I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't cut out the windows to put the interior in seriously: quite smaller than I expected it to be. Wonderfull work! jan

    Looking impressive! how did you make the puley? jan

    There are many Jan's in the Netherlands I have no connection with the werf, so it wasn't me. Jan

    I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the replica-project will never be finished. The discussion in 2003 did result in a restart then, almost all of the bow-section, and a large part of the transom were removed and rebuild (changing the construction-method from shell-first to frame-first). However, that restart was at a large cost: much of the wood available was needed for the rebuild, and again, money ran short, so the build came to a (temporary) stop. In the meantime the management of the wharf has decided to leave the unfinished ship as it is now. The oldest parts are starting to deteriorate, and continuing the build will therefore never result in a sound ship.... Besides: there is a continuing shortage of money, and more and more of that scarce money is needed to fund Batavia's maintenance. To show visitors something on the Zeven Provincien, they build a large 1:10 scale model of the Zeven Provincien, with large cut-outs in the outer hull, so that visitors can get some idea on how these large ships of War looked like, inside and out.

    Tired of ratlines..... Don't think Wasa was a wise choice for you..... Why do you need to split the deck in two? Isn't there a way to do it while the deck is in place? The curved planks are very distinctive, would be nice to have them that way, in stead of the basic straight planking.... Jan

    nice ship! and far less ratlines when it comes to rigging her Jan

    I used walnutstain to darken my lines. By wiping it offbefore it was dry, or apply it twice, i did achieve enough colour variation to my liking. Black line is too dark (at least, to my taste) Jan

    But as you don't tell what the design error is, no one will ever notice (except you, ofcourse). To me it looks like a proper mast, and an amazing amount of detail, given the size and scale of the ship. Jan

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
