Bill Morrison Posted February 11, 2018 #123 Posted February 11, 2018 You are doing a terrific job on this model! I recently won one on eBay for under $200.00, and your thread will be sort of a bible for me. I do have one question. Can anyone here elaborate on the historical accuracy of this ship? I have read that it is more of a composite of Dutch design, but I have seen far too many paintings of very similar Dutch designs. One of those paintings shows a Dutch 80 gun ship named Vest Friesland that shows a very similar ship to the model. The painting dates from the middle 1700s. I'm wondering if the model represents that ship. Bill drobinson02199, Old Collingwood and zappto 3 Quote
zappto Posted February 16, 2018 Author #124 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Hello, i am happy you like the build, thank you OC, David, Bill for nice comments! Bill, i do not know much about this ship history, i know it was sister ship of Zeven Provinzien. I did not see Vest Friesland picture, but i did read about it somewhere. Can you post picture of it? Work going on slowly on the lanterns, was working on the deadeyes too. Kit supply not all deadeye holders of brass wire, i will have to make them my own. Sill need to get right wire for it. Few photos this week work.
