    I looked at your building log again (twice ). Wonderful what you do with these PE parts. Great model.

    Excelent work Nils.

    Thanks Lawrence, My way of building and finishing one does not see much indeed. No one knows what this ship has ever looked like. So there is a fair amount of freedom in the painting of this ship

    Free info Michael. Whatever you decide to make it is your model and your choice. That's how I once made my lantern

    Steven, Thanks for the positive comment and the info A pelican in this way is indeed more imposing and shows more aggressive. But, My drawing skills are insufficient to draw this. I think it will stay with an ordinary pelican.

    Small update, Today I continued with painting. All the green arrows are done. I also made an attempt to draw a pelican on the stern. He looks pretty good but he is not ready yet. Thanks for following

    Jan, Dutch and Flamish can sometimes be complicated languages Drazen, “PROVINCIEN” Is an excellent choice.

    Jan, Maybe provinctye is spelled correctly in "old dutch or old Flamish" (same language but hundreds of different dialects). What follows now is an explanation in Dutch that is impossible to translate to English for me (sorry). And this is an opinion that is open for discussion. Provinctye spreekt uit als Provinstie (Provinctye speaks out as provinstie) Wij zeggen nu ook : vakantie = vakantsie politie = politsie Misschien door die oude spelling voegen we nu de letter "s" toe als we deze woorden uitspreken. De C en de S, de Y en de i : hebben in sommige woorden dezelfde klank om uit te spreken. So "Provinctye" can be spelled correctly. Drazen, beautiful work !! Ps my answer is a bit too late

    Welcome midelburgo, There is very little known about this ship. Newly built in England or rebuilt in England or anywhere else. If you ever built this ship , There were then certain rules then to build a ship. But there is a fair amount of margin in shape, colors and other things. No one can say that you are wrong, But you can never prove that you are building it correctly (my opinion) Painting the upper part of the hull. Of course no one knows how this ship was painted. And it is quite possible that it has been repainted during the 3-year journey. So I go for shapes and colors that were common at the time. Shapes?? Choice enough : arrows, triangles, lines, diamonds, round shapes Colors ?? Apparently "all colors of the rainbow" (belgian saying) were used and on some ships there are simply no colors I am going for white and green arrows Presumably there will be white and red later on the part on the poopdeck. First there is painted white First try. Reasonable, but not really good. so, remove and redo Second try. Masking tape is attached to the non-adhesive side of a sticker. The shapes of arrows are drawn and cut out. The pictures speak for themselves. I am satisfied with it. This method takes a lot of time but the result is quite ok. Now further painting on the for and after castle. As always, thanks for following

    Yes I have seen this already ( also the pictures,not the real ship ) And can you believe this : They even found a cog in "my backyard" . The village Doel is not far away from Verrebroek, Less than 10 km. Great news then. Great ideas and great plans for the future. But now, no money to make them come true. But There are plans to start in 2023 Hopefully they will ever do something with this ship, It is on my wish list as the next model to build. English https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/shipwrecks/0/steps/7971 Dutch search for : "kogge in Doel" or "kogge van Doel" https://www.hln.be/regio/beveren/doelse-kogge-pas-vanaf-2023-herbouwd~a140776c/

    Great to see your model grow. A special way of building, looks like a big challenge Nice work Hakan

    Welcome back Michael Yep, there will be a little bit of weathering on the colors. But certainly not too much.
  23. Baker
    Great progress and beautiful work GL A very clever idea, this tool
  24. Baker
    Thank you Mike, always welcome. And a smal update "Nails" are applied before painting, needles have been used for this. After being placed in the hull they are flattened with a file. I have not installed treenails here. Because the planks of the upper part of the hull are normally thinner and lighter than the planks of the lower hull. And now we can continue with painting Thanks for following
