  1. Plans and a set of sails are still available if required https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?page=search&SS=Stadt+von+Bremen+sails+&PR=-1&TB=O&ACTION=Go! Good luck with the restoration and have fun
  2. I just changed the title of this build. The Billings Vasa is on scale 1/75. Grimbergen ... one of the many good Belgian beers, is always availeble in my refrigerator 👍
  3. Smal update Since I only continue on this build occasionally, progress is slow. As expected, the front float tank is not an easy thing to make. So there is a lot of fitting and measuring to do. And for now, nothing has been done wrong that needs to be removed again 😉 Meanwhile : wheels, wheels, wheels for a russian tank trailer. The ChMZAP-5208 under construction and a heavy truck from the shelf Thanks for following, comments and likes.
  4. Nice painting. But with his poor foot in that sharp clamp. Ouch 😬😉
  5. Of course not. Already looking forward to your little Vasa Build No, this was a good comment. The white rigging was really "not done" I have learned a lot with this model. And I made some euros on it after i sold it.
  6. Interesting project Am looking forward to the finished model(s)
  7. Congrats on the Mayflower and
  8. I imagine I'm Henry Ford I invented a "assembly line" for plastic models. haha 😂
  9. Building the rear "floating tank" This seemed to be the simplest of the 2 to build, so I started with this. Top sides "bottom" rear plate Ready for sanding an cutting rough shape ready Next to do, the front floating tank. Thanks for following
  10. Update, Progress , with a Staghound Mk.2 under construction. The first step is backwards. Everything that was not good has been removed. Building the hole in front of the vehicle. The radiator of the engine will be placed in this later. These 4 will all become c models. A standard, a ambulance, a 75 mm recoiles and a Wasp flametrower. Thanks for following
  11. Well Belgium is a difficult country politically. Believe it or not for the administration of 11 million residents we have 5 governments ... Explaining this whole political question is a very long story and a hopeless task. 😟 To make a long story short. Everyone wants to decide about everything, but no one wants to pay for it The cog Found in 2000 and disassembled. Then the question, what do we do with it, where do we place it, and especially who will pay for it Parts stored for 10 years in containers with water. In 2010 an investigation whether the parts were still suitable for restoration (luckily yes) Return to storage in containers with water. 2014 - 2017 money has finally been found to treat the parts. The planned reconstruction will start in 2023. However, a museum must first be built... I hope I live long enough to ever see this cog 😉 In Dutch http://schoolvoorscheepsmodelbouw.be/wp/specials/kogge-de-middeleeuwen-in-3d/
  12. Not far from where I live, a cog was once excavated during the expansion of the port of Antwerp. https://www.futurelearn.com/info/courses/shipwrecks/0/steps/7971 My hope is to one day make a model of this cog. So I follow with great interest.
