That's a very beautiful build, Francois! This one is on my to-do pile.

A little bit more from Facebook. 1/86, similar scale to the new HMS Victory, but a smaller ship.

Perhaps HMS Sovereign of the Seas/Sovereign/Royal Sovereign?

They are announcing it on their website already, but no further hints.

Very nice. HMV always delivers, in design, paper and print quality.

In vase you want something different: kolderstok is about to launch a cross section of a Dutch Pinas. I have seen the prototype (in real life, not just a pic), and it’s really nice one.

Perhaps @*Hans* can tell us when it will be released

It is available, I have mine at home already. It looks good.

If you decide on the Caldercraft version (I did, and very much recommend it), there is a very useful build report of the prototype:

I'm just now seeing your build report, Hennie, it's very impressive

Thanks for the review! An improvement I notice over the AL Vasa, is that there are proper deadeyes now, instead of lasercut ones. With the Vasa I wasn't too enamoured with the single planking in limewood, and the way it looked after varnishing, but at least this hull will be fully painted/copper plated. Looks like the lasercut and PE parts are excellent. Again highly detailed and easy-to-understand instructions, but a printed version would be welcome.

My home-made solution to an ever growing problem.

Very nice build, gives a good insight how this model was designed. I enjoyed building this one too, I finished it in a light wood paint as to keep the details visible.

Looks very good! I ordered my set through Scaldis late last year, so it's on the to-do-list.

That's a great build, congrats! I built this one too several years ago, I remember it to be a lot of fun, but the end results was not quite as intricate as yours.

Looks good, nice touch sorting out the walnut strips of different colours.

Thank you all!

Gregg, that ship is the VOC East-Indiaman Batavia, which got infamously wrecked off Australia on her maiden voyage. It is a model published by Kolderstok in the Netherlands (https://kolderstok.com/en/) (kolderstok is Dutch for whipstaff). There's a full replica in Lelystad, which I visited a number of times to photograph for the model.

Thanks John!

Hello all, 

Pleased to be here! I'm new to this forum, not entirely new to (ship) modelling. As far as ship building is concerned, I am particularly interested in paper civilian ships and wooden sailing vessels. I'm currently building Amati's galleon Revenge.

Cheers,

Marco

A great build, Jeff, congrats on finishing it! I'm currently building it myself, so you're providing valuable tips here. I'm also running into the issue of the dibetou wood being rather brittle...

A great build, Jonathan! I am building this kit myself at the moment, and this gave me some good practical tips.
