My guess would be that thickness is completely determined by the carpenter, while length and width are determined by the tree. therefore, i think the deck was quite even in this respect. At least, that is what you see in eg wasa. Jan

Nice! How did you het those colours so nice? They are not just out of the can revell-colours, it looks as if you did some aging and weathering on them. Jan- 883 replies

Typo? a bowsprit of 2 milimeter is a bit short. I guess that should be something like 645 mm? Jan

Looks nice. One question: what kind of heavy beam is it you attached to the stern, just below the upper stern? Jan
-
The remaining question is: how do you simulate screws in such a way that they look better than real ones? Jan

Hi Herbert, Per haps Chuck does understand, but I don't.... Do you mean that there shouldn't be three holes every second face, but alternating one and two holes? Chuck's setup matches this one from the NMM-collections. Jan

Hi Marc, The original has a painting of her home town (Middelburg) on her lower stern. Jan

Which btw is correctly mentioned in the German text to the picture. Low-board gunbopats are not realyy fitted for large open waters. Germany has not a very long coastline. So, where were these ships stationed? , Nord- und Ostsee? Jan

We know you by now: you decide before you speak out. So I'm pretty sure you're not going to change your mind I like the black/red scheme. The blue is too blue for me. Jan

I guess the market is too small, besides, I guess that a part of the text is based on Dutch texts already available in the Netherlands. There is a very nice series (in Dutch) called 'Scheepshistorie', and the ships presented in the English book are also described in various issues of this series. The plus of the english version is therefore restricted to the drawings and the illustrations. That makes a very small market indeed. I tried ordering seawatch before through local shops, but in the end, the only source is seawatch itself (so that's the price you pay)... Jan

I did some 'research' to this book: There a re the following shiptypes in it (dutch names ): pinas, 3 fluiten, katschip, boeier, galjoot, wijd(smal)schip, kaag, hoeker, buis en pink. The drawings include: lines, general views, cross-sections, rigging (and in some cases) belayingplan. It's a shame that the shipping costs are so high (especially while there has to be paid an additional import tax in the Netherlands which is levied over the total cost of the shipment, which is including shippings costs....). Total cost will add up to (75+30)+6% = $112. Which is quite a lot. (even though the illustrations and drawings are very nice...) Jan
