NAZGÛL reacted to Karleop in Vasa by Karleop - FINISHED – Billing Boats – reviving a poorly built model
Hola Matti:
Thank you very much for your words, specially coming from you. I appreciate your help in the different aspects of the construction and your comments about the famous Vasa.
Saludos and see you in our next projects, Karl

Beautyful work Karl! And I saw the finished images earlier, gorgeous! You can be proud.

Hola:
To completely finish my Vasa I made the display case to protect it from dust. Now is in the place where I had the HMS Pandora, which I returned to the hobby room.
Saludos, Karl

NAZGÛL reacted to Matle in Ships of the late 16th century?
I haven't read his book but the answer is yes. Björn Landström describes it in The Ship as well. I don't know why hKirsch drew her as English as it is more likely that it's a Dutch construction. Generally speaking the shallow-draft Dutch style was common in Sweden in the end of the 16th century - not until the last half of the 17th century did English influences become dominant (and would remain so until Chapman). -

There's Storkyrkoskeppet from the main church in Stockholm, a contemporary model of a late 16th century galleon presumably made around 1600. It's a votive ship, meaning that the hull is deliberately more slender than it should have been to enable view from below (it's been hanging in the church). The model is now stored at the museum and a new model is on display in the church.

Thanks for adding descriptions to the pictures. I should have done that. Lots of replica's being built. Seems the interest is on the increase.

NAZGÛL got a reaction from MarisStella.hr in Wasan 1628 by Nazgul - FINISHED - Billing Boats Vasa 1:75
Cheers mate, means a lot! Actually I am in the planning stage for the next build. I'd like to make a ship of the Swedish king Karl IX, Gustav II Adolfs father. Not much documentation about them so I will have some freedom when designing it. But it takes some time to think through it all.

Thanks for all the info guys, it's exactly what I'm looking for!
Jan, I will look at that site closer when I have my laptop, my phone doesn't like the site.
Mark, to me the proportions of the half moon seems more fat if you get what I mean. I have lots of parts left from the Vasa build, as I got my hands on an sparepart billings kit from the local hobby shop earlier. I plan to reshape them totally and scratch the rest.
Thanks Marcus for taking the time posting those great pics, most helpfull!

Thanks for the input guys! The Duyfken looks pretty close to how I would have guessed the ships looked like. I made a drawing of what I'd like to build. Just to get the proportions and the level of details. The drawing is not very detailed, but just to get the lines set before the next stage.
What do you think? Could it pass for a small swedish (dutch style) warship made in 1591?

You should certainly look for that geunieerde provincien reconstruction of emke and howing.
That is a ship of these kind of dimensions and appearance.
There is a pic of this model on a site de-paula-lopes.nl
(Page is in dutch, ship is almost at the bottom of the very long page.)

Do you have acces to segelschiffsmodellbau.com? There is a guy names Bela, who is trying to reconstruct a dutch warship of around 1600, basing himself on the socalled Peller modell.
Site is in germna, but i expect tha's not a problem to you.

Looks similar to the Half Moon - maybe you could modify that kit.

Thanks for those links.

Nice drawing which details what you are looking for.

NAZGÛL got a reaction from Archi in Ships of the late 16th century?
Hi all!
I'm researching for my next project that I'd like to be one of Karl IX (Gustav Adolfs father) ships. Little except basic numbers are known and I think that gives room for artistic freedom.
If someone could give some pointers to images or drawings of ships from between 1580 to early 1600 that would be really helpful!
I also wonder how different the ships made in the 1590:ies would be in construction and appearence from ships like Vasa, Batavia or Kalmare Nyckel.
If a ship was smaller like 400, would that say anything about how she was rigged?
Thanks for taking your time!

Igive the same reply here: hoving has a nice book onthe ships of willem barentz. Not warships, but definitely esrlier dutch ships. Around 1600, which is the period you need.
He aslo did, together with cor emke a reconstruction of an early merchant/warship of the east indies companie: the Geunieerde provincien. There is, as far as i know, no englich publication of that one. You could try to get a booklet titled Scheepshistorie, part 1. It has a nice dutch text, and illustrated on the reconstruction.

Jan,
All those books of "Scheepshistorie" are great, and there are so many of them.
Matti,
I'll check through my library if I have any pictures of 1600 Dutch ships.

NAZGÛL reacted to Tallshiptragic in Ships of the late 16th century?
What about Duyfken? Built in 1596 so fits the era. Similar to the half moon though only 110 tonnes. Saying that Batavia was 650 tonnes.
-
NAZGÛL reacted to Tallshiptragic in Ships of the late 16th century?
You then have something like the roter lowe build in holland in 1597 at 250 tonnes
-
NAZGÛL reacted to amateur in Ships of the late 16th century?
Yes, but the roter lowe is a quite old reconstruction, not at all in line with present knowledge.
duyken fits in with the barentz ships quite nicely.

Thanks! Yeah the thread linked is made by me. Fred gives a great explanation of the constructions and diferences between dutch tradition and other traditions.
Now I am more curious if there is any information of how they looked, or if there are models of ships from this era. Half Moon was made early 17th century, but her look is quite different from how I thought warships looked at that time.
Yeah there is much great info of Kalmar Nyckel! It's built later than Vasa and even if the replica is a truly beautyful ship, she to me seems to have many things that is not historically correct. I still love how she looks though.
