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

Hello Constant and welcome aboard,

 

Thanks for sharing the link to your site. I enjoyed reading it.

I hope you will start a buildlog when you start your next project.

 

Feel free to look around and enjoy all the possibilities this forum has to offer you.

I wish you smooth sailing with our gallant crew.

 

Regards,

Anja

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......

Welcome to MSW Constant! Thank you for sharing that link to your work. You have a great talent and there are some very nice models there. I will echo Anja's statement in that I hope you will start a build log on your next project as I would love to follow along with you as you work. Great job and again, welcome!

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.

 

Constant.

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.

 

 

Regards,

Anja

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
