That's a nice one!
Is it from cardboard, of is it wood you use for these deck-details?

amateur got a reaction from dafi in Rigging Ratlines
And don't stop too often, or you'll discover that every time you start is just like the first time....
Half an hour every three weeks isn't the right way to go (speaking from personal experience)

amateur got a reaction from Chuck in Seawatch Books outside of the US
No negative on the book (which undoubtedly) will be great, as other seawatch-books are.
But I have to agree with Carl that the import- and transport fees to be paid on US-imported books are rather high.
And as to visit the US, the amount of paperwork needed for that is killing any fun of going.....

amateur got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in Prins Willem by amateur - Corel - 1:100
Ofcourse I will finish her (some time in the very distant future:) )
And then I started painting her.
I had a problem there: the figures made by Corel do in no way resemble the originals on the Prinw Willem in the Rijksmuseum.
Corel uses half-naked women, the original had just heads on some kind of pedistal. Therefore the paintscheme of the original was not fit for the model. I didn;t want to do any carving (I once tried that on a 1:30 scale, and I did not succeed, so I wasn't prepared to do it on a 1:100 scale) I decided to use a paintschem that was used the Netherlands a couple of decades later: All carvings just plain yellow.
This is how it came out:
Stern:
Gallion
Bottom and sides:
I should have made all colours slightly less bright, but overall, I like the result.

amateur got a reaction from tadheus in Prins Willem by amateur - Corel - 1:100
Thisis how she was, one and a half year ago.
And to be honest, she is sitting on the table next to me, and I don't see much of a difference
More will follow soon.
