Yeah, I know, the Remco-method is what you are aiming at (and I also know you won't be satisfied with less than 98% perfect ) Jan

try googling on 'lion' and 'blooteling'. That's the kind of examples a 17th century carver had to use. Jan

Your second lion is a real lion for sure. The 17th -century carver that did the one on your 17th century ship most probably never saw a real lion (or even an acceptable picture of it), and was far more likely to produce something that is not acceptable to Gwen Jan

Hi Mindi, Welcome back. It is as you suspected: something died (not the forum, but the servers where it was hosted). Everthing that was on the servers was lost. So, it is still the good old MSW (same people, better quality every day), but you'll have to restart, as your previous log is gone into nothing.... Nice work onyour endeavour. Well worth the restart (of your building, and your posting activities) Jan

There is a third way of doing your ships boat. I used it for my boat. It used to be in the buildlog of Chuck Pasarro (Mayflower I think it was). You can use a bread and butter way of building the hull, which you can then detail with planing on the outside, and frames on the inside. I think i made a couple of pics of how I did it (quite early in my pW -log. But then, as you do shipyards at scale 1:20000, i gues a fully frames boat is no problemto you Jan

Where are the vikings ? Nice way of displaying! Jan

Hi Piet, Your diorama has become a very nicepice of art. I'm impressed by the level of detail you put into it! Jan Ps. No excuses left, you'll have to start rigging your VOC-ship

She's a beauty! Jan

Hi Marcus, I shouldn't have used the word 'sail...' It was just the ferry (which gave me the opportunity to have a look at all surrounding ships) big and a bit noisy when you sleep on the lower deck Jan

Hi Kees, Take care of yourself! btw: We sailed from IJmuiden to Newcastle last week, and I spotted Pelikaan in the buitenhaven of IJmuiden. She almost looked like your model (only more dirt and rust, and way oversized ) With respect to the hull colour: even in life size, the colour is changing with the sunlight. Difficult to describe, and I think that even with the colour-code right, it will not look like the real thing.... Jan

The advantage is that a bunch of oars on deck would look a bit bulky. The disadvantage is that your model needs some casing to protect the 'fragile' oars.... Jan

For those of you who don't know: the lion is on the statenjacht Utrecht Jan

His face reminded me of this one:

Which Hoving-book do you use? You can always say that the luizenplecht is the small deck in front of the "bakschot" Jan

We'll never, ever complain again over fiddly detials on our massive 1:100 scale ships. How many magnifiers do you use for this? Jan
-
How are you going to do the ratlines ? It's increasibly small, fragile and looking good. Jan
-
I'm a bit daft, I guess, but I can't see what you're aiming at.... However, it's my firm belief your railing will come out great! Jan

Hi Hans, That is a great looking ship! Two questions: am i correct in assumin a hulllength of around a meter? And second: when doing admirality, are you considering not to plank the hull? Jan
