Usual standard Bob. Looks excellent again! Best wishes for you also Sjors

Happy new year to you also Coq. I’m still thinking what to do with the deck..... Still got time for it.

On this first of januari I think it's again time for an update. The first one in 2019 and I think a lot more....... I have make the second row of parts of the cabin and lay the second deck over it. I have make re-enforcements at the stern and I have to do the same at the bow. After that I can start with closing the hull. It's a new way for me to do this. I know how to plank but this???? The last two pictures shows you how It has to be done. Sjors

Almost........🙂

I’m still at the punniken..... Great! Sjors

Still no tomatosauce...😆 Looks great Kevin. Its good for me that i’m doing something else for the moment when i se this. Sjors

Because there is a lot of painting on the ship ( I believe everything has to be painted) the updates are not coming quick. But they are coming 😀 I painted the deck with a green color that match most of it with the original. Maybe I will put a layer of varnish over it but that's almost at the end. Also make the lowest cabin and paint it white. Sjors

Coq, No problem if you want to say something . So no excuses please...... The cranes are make by 2 mm plywood. When you put it together it will be a kind of box. In my opinion it's the same as 25 years ago.

Hugs back Denis 🙂

Give her a big hug and kiss from me and say that i love her Denis 😆 Maybe that will help........ Sjors

You go like........ Looks great !!! Sjors

Then just do it Denis! Give Phyllis a big kiss and hug and send her to the hobbystore to pick it up 😁

Marcus, Be welcome! Of course as Dutchman is this on your bucket list..... I believe all the model builders who lives in Holland has build one. I was looking for it in other forums but the only thing i find where restauration projects. They build them when there was no internet. So for me it’s again a adventure.

Evening Zappto. It is a interesting ship. Not only see this one in real but also as a model. The first was 25 years ago and the difference between the kits arehuge. The first one i have to saw everything by myself and now it is laser cut. Also you had two bye 2 boxes....one with wood and the other with the metal parts. When you really want to do something else i can recommend this one! Sjors

A few things done today. Make the deck box Engine doghouse. First deck. Everything has to be painted but that's for later. Sjors

Thanks Lou, I will take look at that! Sjors

I don’t know Cog. Time will tell..... First i need paint otherwise everything is standing in the way.

So, here we go.. The frames and strenghtenings are in place. The beginning is there. I also place the consoles for the axels and motor.( I don't use that because she stays static but want to show you how it works if you want it RC ) I have phone around and there will be no lights ....... I found it to expensive for what I want. The model ,when she is finished, will stay at the workshop and don't go into the living room. I'm only there when there is daylight so it's no use . Then now the pictures. What's in the box...... not much 😀 The frames with those strengthening Console for axels Console for axels 2 Engine console

Welcome Kevin Sjors

Thanks guy’s, @OC, For you the same. @Ulises, Thanks,i do my best. In the mean while i’m busy with the Smit Rotterdam. I just want to do somethinh different. It’s easy to walk away if needed. Sjors

I will not forget it Jan when i will put light in it. I think i will bring Quartel or Sjaaks hobbyshop a visit to see what they can do for me.

Welcome all of you who is visiting me . This build log of course! Grand was coming with the great idea to make her rc so someone can take it over...... I was telling it to Anja and she had the great idea to put light in it...... That should be for the first time for me to do. So here are the new plans...... Light in the steering cabin, green on the outside for starboard, red for portside. Maybe lights in the hull? Light for a searchlight? If anyone knows what to do.....tell me. Then i don’t need a christmast tree anymore.... Sjors

It is not abandoned.....just on hold. Sjors

Welcome everyone @ Lou, I just like this model. I lived for 5 minutes away when her home port was Schiedam. I see her many times and I was a few times on board to see how she looks inside @ Ben, As you can see I build her before and it's fun! When I compare the first and last ,there is a big difference! And when you get started ob your workboat....let me know! @ John, I have install a safe in the house 😁 When she is finished I will lock her away...... @ Wayne, Nice to hear of you😀 We can make music together on Skype????? Anja is saying Hi to you also @ Denis, You know that you are always welcome. In the future I think you will build her also! And Anja is protecting her 😝 @ Piet, Also welcome. I like the Zwarte Zee also and I have build her many years ago but now she has a plastic hull and I don't like that! So no more Zwarte Zee for me! Anja is also yelling Hi to you 😊 @ Nick, Thanks for the welcome. Health issues took me away from the workshop. And because I'm a little tired of ratlines, shrouds and canons I thought this is a good change. I will finish the other ones but not now. I know now how she looks and how to build but as I say before.....each kit is different! The first one was not laser cut. This one is not totally planked! I will close the hull but you will see how that goes. Then there is for me a last thing. For everyone a Merry Christmas and all the good things for 2019 Also from Anja !

We can open a new topic ????? Kantklossen and punniken....... When you need a lathe when you have to work on the masts and you are living not to far away, you are always welcome. I have also time now. From Januari I'm only working for a while 4 hours a day in the evening... So time enough! Sjors
