YankeeD Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share #186 Posted August 26, 2021 It really has been a while since I posted. Main reason for that is that my 'interest' to post and to be active on a forum had been substantially reduced some time ago due to things that happened on another forum. There was a member continously giving off on me and my way of working. Always in a sneaky way, never directly but always below the belt. Always in other threads, never in mine. A lot of other members saw it as well and also had problems with him. But as always in this world, moderation can do little if no direct evidence or direct attacks. So when he even started becoming personal, like commenting on personal circumstances like how ridiculous it was if certain people had or used certain tools, and what sort of people were not belonging in this hobby and doing it all wrong... clearly to be identified that I or my tools were meant, It broke with me. So I drew back from forums at all for some time. I am very low profile now, but still active building. I just thought to let you all know. here some pictures of status from a few weeks ago. scrubbyj427, zappto, RichardG and 35 others 23 15 Quote Current build 7 Provinciën (Englisch thread): http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13719-the-7-provinci%C3%ABn-by-yankeed-scale-150-1665-according-to-drawings-by-mr-o-blom-first-wooden-scratch-ship-build/ For Dutch readers (Dutch thread): http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/nederlands-historisch-zeilschip-het-schip-van-de-ruyter-de-7-provinci%C3%ABn.216834/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubac's Historian Posted August 26, 2021 Share #187 Posted August 26, 2021 The beauty of our hobby is that it rewards us for our resourcefulness - for simply finding a way that works for us, individually. The beauty of your ship is that it is remarkably beautiful, and a testament to your skill and craftsmanship. It can be difficult to filter out the “noise,” but try not to pay any mind to blowhards like that. Your presence, here, has been missed very much YankeeD.

glbarlow Posted August 26, 2021 Share #192 Posted August 26, 2021 On this forum I am confident reporting a negative comment using the report function (in the upper right corner of a post) will get that comment deleted by our moderators, and if it continues that person removed from MSW. If it’s in some other place I’m still confident our moderators will deal with it, just bring it to their attention via a direct message. I often say if I want negativity I can go to any Facebook political post, not here on MSW. Your work is excellent, your model of a type one seldom seen here. I enjoy reading how and with what tools others accomplish tasks, especially when it result in such nice results. Thanks for coming back to share it with us.

I hope the negative feeling about that person's negative comments disappears when I tell you it really takes my breath away to see your beautiful build and that I'm getting anxious to start my own with Blom's drawings after HMS Winchelsea.

Same as the japanese temples for woody joe's. Life is all about choices yes. ps I have a break from building, which is normal for me.

YankeeD Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share #204 Posted May 26, 2022 Well its been a while. As said in january I had a break. I recently picked up again. Not as often as I would like, but every week i get something done again. First thing I did was finishing the transom. I did de sculptures again on the right scale on the CNC as I done them before but found them just too small. After that is tarted to work on the gunport hinges. I tried metal first but didnt like it. So next step was to design them into CNC. I am happy with the results. I will finish both sides before I will head on to the 'roping' business. 0 flying_dutchman2, mtaylor, Kopape and 21 others 19 5 Quote Current build 7 Provinciën (Englisch thread): http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13719-the-7-provinci%C3%ABn-by-yankeed-scale-150-1665-according-to-drawings-by-mr-o-blom-first-wooden-scratch-ship-build/ For Dutch readers (Dutch thread): http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/nederlands-historisch-zeilschip-het-schip-van-de-ruyter-de-7-provinci%C3%ABn.216834/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying_dutchman2 Posted May 27, 2022 Share #205 Posted May 27, 2022 Wow, the transom looks awesome. The details alone are amazing. Just imagine you had to carve all that by hand. I am glad that the transoms of so Dutch merchant ships are so much simpler. The transom on my fluit is in 2 parts and was easy to carve.

YankeeD Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share #206 Posted June 8, 2022 Finished the starboard side. On to the next. I will fit 1 or 2 gun carriages at a later stage. Just to show how they were done/placed. I already said I want to build a kind of Harbour rig although not determined how that will look.
