Here my first update about the project Groene Draeck. Bought this kit from the Internet. So there is some restoration work to do. The first owner build the frame already and did a good job sofar. But as you can see there must folow some first modifications. The original has the cabin in white. And the used portholes from the model looks no good. So I ordered new portholes from the UK. Al togheter I'm glad to have this kit as my new project. This is not an easy model. And there are not many in production. But most of al it is still part of the Royal Dutch familie.

See some fotoś of the kit and all details as I bought it some months ago.

Suggestions ore tips are welcome

Hi Marcel,

 

Welcome to MSW!

Is your Groene Draeck a kit, or based on a drawing?

HI Jan,

De Groene Draeck is from a kit. I think from the 80ties. More info folow soon.

My name is Marcel(53) and live in Zoetermeer, Holland. Started a Year ago with building the “Le Camaret” as a test. Now I’m sure this will be my favorite hobby. 

At the moment I’am half way with a model called the “Groene Draeck”. In Holland still active and owned by the Royal family.

Great to see and learn in this forum. I hope to receive my new adventure soon the “Sovereign of the Seas” by Sergal.

Sofar my short introduction. Hope to post some pictures soon.

Marcel
