Hollander-jan

Hello Gregor, Thank you for the post and the following of my build. I am just a beginner as I see what you do I think there is a long way to go. But never the less I am building and all go's well. I am progressing in the build but have to calm down in order not make mistakes witch I will certainly do. For now I am having so much fun and joy in being here on the site and meeting wonderful skilled people. It is amazing how your ship is coming to live with all the detail. As I me and like Tony said "WELL DONE"!. regards Jan.

Hi Tony, Thanks for the offer I will wait til tomorrow ore the day after. If they do not reply I wil gratefully accept you offer. by for now Jan

Hello to all of you, Before I tell you of the progress I made today I will first show you a little boat that started all off again. It is the boat in the picture below. I bought it some 5 years ago made the hull and left it on the shelf. It was to difficult I sought. But recently I finished it. It was such fun to do that it made me dicide to build a real boat, as a model of course. This boat was from a German re-seller it is there beginners model. The reason it took so long was that I went ferry sick and had to reorganize my live after I went better. Now I am well again but not as strong as I was before more time to build a model boat. The boat is build up the way tony did his small boat for the Sherbourne. The end product is not wat I had in mind because the rigging and musch of the interior was not in the boats manual I had to think something up. ok so far for history. I did well today the first picture is the kit as I recieved it all was there. next picture a dry fit actualy all is glued now and the deck is fitting wonderly well. No picture because I am in the proces of making pictures with my camera for this site. Have to experiment more with light better and more picture of how I progrss will come soon. I send a mail to Jotika because I am missing a manual. Have 5 big drawings with numbers of parts but no manual. It is fun to do this and I am working ferry clean it all looks ferry good till now. I am going to work on the stern the deck and the gun port thing in the next days. Taking my time to do it all nice and clean. Sorry but to late and tired for a picture of the state of things regards to all of you, Jan, from the dutch Rotterdam dockyard

Hello thank you all for this warm welcome. I am a little bit reluctant to start. Have the bulkheads dry fitted and looking for a way to start putting the thing together. Its a bit my character to wait a while before I start. Do not want to make mistakes in this beginning phase. But today it will get underway. Have to find out about my camera for nice pictures as well. you will be hearing from me soon. regards Jan

Finnaly I can start my build log of the Sherbourne. The kit arrived today and I was overwelmed by what I found in the box. But after a while calmed down. It can be done if I take each step as a project. I will find out to place pictures and will do so during the proces. I hope to make a contribution to the site and the Sherbourne community of builders that writes such wonderfull stuff. Hope to learn a awfull lot of it. next time pictures. Jan

Helo Tony and all other Sherbourne builders on this forum, At last i have solved the problem that i had with the dutch supplier of Caldercraft kits. He was not able to deliver and send me my money back. At last after more then a mont of touble. Imidiatly ordered my ship at MODEL DOCKARD so that wil be allright i hope. As soon as i have the ship I wil start a log of the build and looking forward to that moment. I wish yo all a verry good christmas and a splendid new year. Hope to meet you then on the forum.
