Hi All, After my build of the Half Moon, I started buiding the Friesland of Mamoli. However, when the 2nd planking was nearly done, I paused buiding due to all kinds of circumstances. Now that I'm working from home for 2 months already (due to Corona), I picked up buiding again. I'll post some pictures of the buid in 2013, end then continue where I left off. I hope to finish this build, I didn't start a report earlier because I was afraid I wouldn't keep it up. But now I built for 2 months already, I dare to start. this report. Hopefully you like it, and help my motivation to keep up! Best regards, Alex

I believe Mamoli is the only manufacturer to produce the Friesland Galleon, at a length of 31" and height of 28". It is a double plank on frame build with many gold color castings. The wooden frame parts are lazer cut plywood. The planking and decking wood are a bit drab in color , typical for mamoli, but are in ample supply. Casting will need some refining to remove selvage and burs , may even require a bit of enamel paint or even some gold leafing. This kit is produced for the advanced model builder and I'm sure experience will come in handy. All kits prove to have inherent flaws in materials and instructions. This may take the better part of the year to complete as I work very slow. MSW has help with so many of my builds in the past, . Thanks to all in MSW for all the help in the past. All my ship builds are donated to auctions to raise funds for local charity groups.

Hello, this is my galleon ship construction. It is my second ship build. I will share photos of the build, hope you will like. Friesland The highly ornate Friesland dates from about 1663, when she was launched as part of the fleet of the "Seven Provinces" of the Netherlands. As part of the allied Aglo-French fleet, she took part in the Battle of Solobay in 1672. Mamoli's double plank-on-bulkhead kit, based on reliable Dutch documentation, features 80 turned brass cannon and over 50 gilded metal ornaments. The model is a magnificent replica, complete with authentic deck detail. Cast zinc frames ensure proper squaring and alignment of gun ports, while remaining hidden from view. Silk-screened flags and cotton rigging line reflect the rig plan of the original. Thirteen sheets of plans and step-by-step instructions allow you to build an extraordinary showpiece. Advanced Level Mamoli Kit No. MV24 Length 31"/Height 28"/Scale 1:75 Few photos of the box and inside the box.

Hello fellow modelers. It's been an extremely long time since I got my act together to post a build log. Half of because I had lots of trouble with posting pics and the other half is I'm very shy when it comes to showing others my work. Its abit nerve wracking for me so please be persistent with me. All of this is done over my phone as I don't have a PC or laptop. I brought this kit awhile back and is my first shot at a large build. I have 6 other ships under my belt just to get some experience needed for this build. The first photo shows the all too familiar sight of bulkheads and keel assembly. Some wrangling was need for things to line up but eventually I got there. The deck is just dry fitted at this point of time.

Hello MSW, I started building the Friesland one year ago, and maintained a build log at Dutch forum www.modelbouwforum.nl Because I relied heavily on the build log by GreatGalleons, I decided to post my progress here as well. I hope it is fun for you to read. Mind I am new to the hobby, so expect a lot of (beginner) mistakes and troubles Let me begin to recap what has been done so far. Building plank: Keel and Bulwarks, dryfit Note if you also want to build this Mamoli kit: The keel does not match the drawings/plans at all. Either make a new one from scratch or accept the deficiency. Also the bulwarks are what looks to be sawn by hand. The shape is really bad at times, with poor symmetry and alignment. I had a lot of problems getting the hull shape and the deck to all line up evenly. Take your time with this phase, certainly with this particular kit. Marked the rabbet line and bulwarks alignments on the keel: I removed the back part of the keel to allow for shaping the rabbet line. Because my underwatership will be painted white, I did not worry about it look ugly at this stage. Will be filled, sanded and painted later.
