Dutch wharf, I think (despite the Frecnh flag on the ship) Launching them sideways is a method very often used at the wharfs in the northers part of the Netherlands (Gongingen/Friesland) Jan

export product then?

Is it an english elizabeth class battleship? Jan

on the other hand, let the searching be done by others is actually a very time-efficient way of searching Jan -
artificial reef in the making? Jan

The one who build her did a good job on the paint weathering Jan

Ouch, something broken over there I guess.... But... it's not a laker?!? Jan

Problem with 'painting with wood' is that you will have to think of rather far-fetched solutions when the colours are not completely coinciding with the various pieces. e.g in Victory, the yellow/black striping doesn not correspond one-to-one with the strakes of the planking. Personally I like the way Chuck Passaro uses paint: (look at his Conferderay): not too garish, but the colour-accents are definitely there. Jan

That tictac is really out of scale! I like your 'minidiorama's' in the context of the larger build. Are you going to put all 850 crewmembers onto your ship? Jan

try googling for cutting mat, (sefl healing), and you'll end up with tons of them. They are very often sold by shops in the 'paper and cardboard trade' Jan -
Willem Barentsz by ceestoorn - FINISHED

In the same book, there are some drawings by De Weerdt. Actually, I like the De Weerd version more than the Hoving version. Jan -
I'm not quite sure the size is an advantage for Amati. Well, it definitely is for the model, but for realtively small housed kit builders like me, this kind of sizes is prohibitive (and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one living in a moderate size house) Jan

Nothing unusual about the ship itself. That's exactly what makes finding her a bit tough.... Jan

"Houston, we have a problem", but that was an other kind of ship, as far as I can remember.... Question: are these your own pics (and if so: what do you do for a living!??!) Jan
-
That is a beautiful result! Can't wait to see her in full colour Jan

Sorry to disappoint you: 1. the kit-manufacterer in the Maritime museum has gone out of business 2. the Hoving book is just sold-out in new, so you have to go for the second-hand version. (mind you, there are some ridiculous prices being asked....) 3. Valkenisse and Zeehaan are about 150 years apart. The system of the rigging is comparable, but there is certainly no one-to-one correspondence... Utrecht is a nice ship: I once made a couple of pics of the 'real thing': https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/UtrechtsStatenjacht# (mainly details, as someone on MSW1 was doing a cardboard version of her, and liked to have some pics of the scroll-work, as the work as build, differs from the work as drawn.)

When the gun recoils (jumping or not ), do both breachropes have the same amount of slack, or is the thinner breachrope slightly longer, and just the safe guard if the thick one fails? Jan

I also llike your water! Jan

And aren't we all in the same family :) Jan

I know what it is: it's a paddle steamer :D Jan

Now we are really confused Andy, please help us out. Jan

On MSW1 we used to have a list of ships used. That would make such a hint more easy to follow up.... Jan
