Hi Greg, i already suspected this type of modelling is not my cup of tea. Now I know for sure Thanks for sharing your techniques! Jan

Lookimg at the last picture: this area has been repainted, bur it looks as if two portholes were missing before the last repaint. Or are these two recent damage? Jan

That will be a massive model... Jan

In the cross sections drwan of the hollandisvhe zweidecker, you can see that there is no need for ventilatipn: these orts are on the same deck as the windows. Above. Also you can see they are in exactly the same height above deck as the ports in the side. These ports are intended as gunports. Jan

Those ports are in the main cabin, located on the upper gundeck. Well above the waterline. The size of the ports is about the same as the size of the gunports in the side of the upper gundeck, so, yes, it would fit..... Jan

Are you sure these are not for guns? I thought they were namrd 'retraitepoorten' used the same way the chaseports were used. Jan

MS Fair American rigging plan leaves alot to be desired.
amateur replied to JPAM's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
And with respect to your second question: rigging the stay before the shroulds: is it bad? Depends, when you want to be historically accurate, it is bad. Very bad indeed On a more technical point of view: I don't think it can do much harm. But: as far as I can see there is no advantage of rigging the stay before the shrouds, so why not doing it in the 'historically correct' way? Jan -

And we'll give the same answer every month The quality of the casting is quite good. That makes it a bit (not much) easier to do a great paint job. I'm wondering: when they keep sending you one piece of carving every month, this buidllog will go on for ages. I guess there will be monthly packages with just a bit of wood, and loads of statues and lions to be painted. Jan

Little steps, but it looks like progress, though. At all pictures, i keep seeing fractures and damages I didnt see before. That model must have hit the ground with a heavy thud..... jan

That one is great. The same holds for the other Reed-books. Quite some overlap in techniques shown, bur all of them very informative. Jan

Nice work andy! When (if ever...) will you continue your laker? Jan

Just a question: the buildlog of this wonderfull barge iss here on MSW. Is the book offering additional info that was not in the log already? Jan

Nice to see her here! Jan -
They paintjob may be your largest chalenge. Those old type of paints do no longer exist, I'm pretty sure that the colours went a bit 'off' over the last decades, so you have to match colour, 'structure' as well as 'age' in the paintjob. (and prepping the surface of the new wood, without damaging the old paintwork micht be tricky as well. But just a plain repaint of the whole ship is a severe sin from a restorers point of view. I'll follow with interest. Jan

Hello Druxey, They all come from various model-building fora. The two from William Rex have been posted in a Dutch forum, the one one the HZ-modell has beenposted by Peter (OLympic1911), but not in the thread here, but in the German version (at segellschiffsmodellbau.com) Quite a number of pics of a large Dutch model (owned by the museum in Gent, not on display) are in the warshipvasa.freeforums.com. But due to copyright-issues, I'm not a librty to repost them here.... Jan

Hi Spyglass, in the Dutch version the socalled 'knecht' refers to all upright pieces used for belaying lines and ropes. They can (but do not always) have sheaves in them. The main ones have sheaves, and are used for hoisting topmasts and yards. Those were the ones that were pimped with a head on top, in stead of a more basic head, as shown in the log of YankeeD. There were also smaller knechten, attached to the inboard railing as belaying points.Some had, and some had no sheaves. Three pics: the forward and main knight in the William Rex modell Amsterdam), and a knight attached to the railing of the forecastoledeck of the (no longer existing) Hohenzollernmodell (Dutch warship 1660) Jan
