Ab, I've downloaded the elevation plan and the body plan from this thread. You mentioned that the length of the jacht is 27 cm at a scale of 1:44. I am going to play around with other scales and see what is most pleasing to the eye. Will attempt to build a plank on frame model. Marcus -
Kortes, Beautifully executed, superb attention to details. You have done a great job on this ship Marcus
-
Ab, In the above post you have picture of a ship, would this be a Cat? I like how you add pictures of Ships to all your posts. They seem to be of the same genre as the pictures in the 17th century Dutch merchant ships. Marcus

Mark, Sad news. My wife's father also got Early Onset Dimentia but without the paranoia. He lived with us for a while until we couldn't take care of him. Regards Marcus

😁 I love it. Marcus

For your first scratch the Heemskerck would be difficult. Built 2 smaller vessels and then the Heemskerck is doable. Marcus

Ab, Thanks for the encouragement on building the yacht. When I need a break from working on the Fluit, the Zeehaen, I work on understanding contracts. What is the name of the 60 gun man-of-War you are building? Marcus
-
Ab, It is good you are showing the plans from the Speel jacht (Pleasure Yacht). The learning curve in reading the contract from Witsen (and your latest book) has been steep. I will take the information you have on this thread and compare it to my notes of building the jacht. I have made many mistakes just by understanding the length, width and height of the ship. I will master this exercise,......... eventually.

Kees, You are back. Beautiful job on the deck. I like how the planks are different shades of brown which looks more realistic. Marcus

Agreed with everyone else, the details are wonderful. Love all the details you put into the model to make it come alive. Marcus

Looking great. The lines of the hull are pleasing to the eye. You did a great job in planking. Marcus
-
Jack, Looks great and I like the color combination of blue and yellow. Marcus
-
Nils, Beautiful lines of this small boat. Looking forward in following your build and observing your attention to the details. Some of the rigging is similar to the Dutch coastal vessels. Marcus
-
Beautifully executed!! This is a slick looking ship. The lines are just beautiful. I like the start of your miniature maritime museum. You will never run out of space like some of us with displaying your ships Marcus

To the King of Itty bitty scale: The attention to detail is awesome. The paintings are a nice touch. Marcus

This project is too cool. I love what you did with the clog. I have several old clogs in the garage and may just do what you did. I buy my clogs in Holland, Michigan which is a 3 hour drive from me. I wear mine in the winter when shoveling snow and when my edible garden is too muddy. .Marcus

Love the ship. The advantage of building in the scale that you do is that you won't run out of display room. Some of us that have larger scale ships can be a bit of a problem of where to put the ship. One of your picture shows a king bed. I think the yellow tie dye sheet is very cute. Marcus

Nice.. When I worked in Saudi Arabia in the 90's, one of my jobs as a landscape architect I was to beautify the military airbases, the Dutch company, Ballast Nedam, built for the Saudis. This included the bunkers that housed the F117. I saw these birds up close. Breathtaking. (Saudis have weird ideas of what to landscape). Marcus

Jack, the model looks good. In the beginning of your built you showed the sheet of PE with lots of items, but in the model I did not see much of it applied (or am I missing something). I understand that you decide how much PE you add to enhance the ship. Also in reality the ship cannot be too shiny, she should be in the colors of the sea and the sky. The PE makes for showing more details and it offsets it well with all that gray. Marcus

She is starting to look great. Nice sanding job. Marcus

By holding the 4 chairs with your fingers, one can truly see how small and detailed everything is. Excellent craftsmanship Marcus
