I like these ships so much more than those three decked hms something give us a shout when Zeehaan is started, we’ll be there. Jan, Thank you and especially for the advice and clarification throughout this build. Like you, I like building these ships more than what everyone else builds. I can guarantee you that very few ship modelers build Dutch merchant ships. Maybe too difficult, or no interest. Very few modelers scratch build something that hasn't been tried yet or the ship has been built a few times. I like the challenge. Once you start building more Dutch ships you get the hang of the difficulties that arise. Marcus Omega1234 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L The Zeehaen is a fluit. Has a few canons but that is minimal. In general, fluits were pure cargo ships and were escorted by warships Marcus Omega1234 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flying_dutchman2 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share #185 Posted April 25, 2019 Some more Note. Next build. Collecting some history of the Fluit (and their is a lot of that) and working on the paper templates that make up the frames. Like I said before, this is going to be a large model with lots of detail. Marcus tkay11, Piet, Landlubber Mike and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flying_dutchman2 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share #188 Posted April 27, 2019 Jan and cog, I think Jan has mentioned the following in one of my builds. It was mentioned that a modeler in Holland attempted to build a Dutch ship "shell first", and he had difficulty doing that. Can you give me a link to that? I am assuming one has to be able to read contracts. I have tried that and once I get to the measurements of the stem post and the transom I am stuck. Everytime I read a contract I draw it out on paper and it works for the keel and the bow. But the rest I can't figure it out. I know that reading a contract and taking the measurements to build a ship is possible because Ab Hoving has done it. The ships in the 17th century merchant ships book are done this way Any information would be appreciated. Marcus Omega1234, Piet and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flying_dutchman2 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #192 Posted April 30, 2019 In a message asked Ab. Hoving about building a ship "shell first". It is doable, prepare to make many mistakes and the learning curve is very steep. Marcus mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
