I am assuming that before the era of PE, it is paint? PE also gives you cleaner lines compared to paint? Does PE come in one color or are there any other colors? Can you use paint on PE? I will go to Toms metalworks site and read up on it. The above questions are for the pros and cons of PE versus paint. Lots of questions and thanks for answering. Marcus

Jan, As usual, I am late in following this. As a newbie in card, I think you are doing an excellent job in creating this ship. Learning lots of tips and tricks just in case I want to try my luck at doing a card model. Marcus

Kortes, The Sperwer is coming along nicely. Everything of the pilot house (kajuit) is beautifully executed. At the scale you are building all the details come out really well. Marcus

Have been following some of the plastic model builts in the background and I have several questions. -- Do all plastic kits have brass etching available to them and if not is it only the famous ships? -- Does the brass etching come in different scales, just like the ship models do? -- Jack mentioned towards the end of his build that he didn't use as much PE as he thought he would. Can he use the left over PE for other ships? I think that does it for now. Thanks for answering. Marcus

To the King of Itty bitty scale, This is turning out to be an amazing built. All the colorful furniture is in place. Don't think you have forgotten anything. It is a sleek looking yacht. I bet that the real ship looks pretty amazing as well. Marcus

wefalck : Which ones? Besides het Friese Scheepvaart museum which has many plans, what other museums have plans for downloading? Marcus
-
Nice pictures of the Boeier, Wefalck! Het Friese Scheepvaart museum has a lot of plans online, free for the downloading. Then on archive.com their are 3 books by Emile van Konijnenburg, Shipbuilding from its beginning volume 1, 2, & 3. The first 2 are descriptions of ships in Dutch and vol 3 is all plans and color drawings of Dutch ships. Marcus

The deck is beautifully done and the pins in the deck as well. I like how you made the curved baton for the bow. I am assuming that it was a difficult job. I love all the curves from Dutch ships. It's what makes them unique. Marcus
-
This boat has clean lines and you did an excellent job of planking her. Both the bluff bow and stern are an exercise on its own. I know this from building yachts and presently building a Boyer. You are correct, a sperwer is a type of hawk. Did you get the plans from het Friese Scheepvaart museum online or if not where? Marcus

Welcome Mark. Another Dutchman is always a good thing. Lots of excellent builders on this forum which is also the best forum this side of the universe. I am a Dutchman living in the US and built only Dutch ships mostly from the 17th century. Marcus
-
To the King of Itty bitty scale: Impressive, a fine job of putting it all together and the curves on that ship are cool. Marcus
-
One word. IMPRESSIVE It is amazing what you accomplish with card. Marcus

Welcome to the forum. Your models that you put in the gallery are beautifully built. I have been a fan of yours for a long time. I have many books and publications that you have authored in both Dutch and English and have learned many things from that. I built the Utrecht and now I am working on the Boyer. The plan is to built many of the 17th century Dutch merchant ships. Your latest book from N. Witsen on shipbuilding has been an education for me. It is an excellent source that I use on my buulds. When I visit my mother in Heerhugowaard, I always spend a day in Amsterdam and visit the Rijksmuseum and het Scheepvaart museum. Next year when I go I plan to visit both the Maritime museum in Rotterdam and the Zuiderzee museum in Enkhuizen. I take notes and pictures of ships that I plan to built I do have a question. What are the sizes (height) of the figures you use in your models? I know it depends on the scale of the ship. Or do you create them yourself? Regards, Marcus

Beautifully done. At the scale you build the ice yacht the details are especially great. You can add so much more. You thought "outside the box" when building this yacht. MSW is not ships anymore. Marcus

Kees, Congrats on the new job. The rivetting looks good. Your attention to all the details is amazing. Marcus

I agree with Popeye, the weathering looks great, especially the way you did the rust lines. Marcus
