Sorry for my late reply. I do not look too often at forums.
wefalk: the scale is 1/77.

Yes @Scrubbyj427, this model was made after the plans I made
in the 80s. You can download them for free from the internet.
@Landlubber Mike: They are also in the Swatch book, so you can both go ahead.
Thanks all for the likes.

Radek: The sails are not black but dark red/brownish, due to the fact that they were tanned. The tanning process was done to prevent rot with sails that were not used on a daily basis. Many fishermen tanned their sails.

Thank you both.
Mirabell61: the crew members were purchased at an English web-shop: 1001modelkits,co.uk. Here is the link:https://www.1001modelkits.co.uk/172-scale-figures/233926-red-box-rb72081-english-sailors-16-17th-century--4820316720814.html
Of course these are English sailors, which don't look too much like Dutch ones, so I had to alter them by cutting off weapons and parts of the clothing. Not my favorite activity, but much faster than making them all myself.:-)
