tartane Posted February 1, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2017 Hello, Let me introduce myself. I am Constant and I live in Holland. Recently I completed a scratch model of a narrowboat. These boats are very British, so I thought I had to show it on an English forum. When you visit www.constantwillems.nl you will find pictures and a description (also in English) under the topic; schepen, which means ships. I hope you enjoy it, Constant Canute, Mirabell61, ccoyle and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintrow Posted February 1, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2017 Welcome Constant: I was especially interested in your narrow boat. A very close couple, friends of ours, bought a narrow boat and they were in the process of converting it into a full time residence. It was their intent to live full time on the narrow boat and just roam the passable waterways of Europe. Unfortunately the husband passed before the completion. Very nice build......

tartane Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks all of you for your warm compliments. On the moment I am not working on a model, but of the last one I made a little film. This film is to be seen on youtube, but I cannot transport the link to this forum ( I tryed to do so, but it did not work). It is to be found under the name; TARTANE. There are several items with this name but the one with the picture of a ship is the right one. From all the ships I built,I made lots of pictures during the building process. So I could show from some ships how I built them and which materials I used. Before I am going to do that I have to find out the right way to bring them to this forum.

Anja Posted February 2, 2017 Share #8 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Hello Constant, Thanks for sharing the YouTube tip. I can't share YouTube links, because I do not have an account. I always use the copy & paste function to share a link. Below the video of your beautiful ship.

tartane Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted February 3, 2017 Anja, thanks for placing the link on the topic. I knew already the link, and I placed it succesfully on an other (Dutch) forum, but to this forum it did not work. Regards, Constant Anja, EJ_L and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
