Michael Mash Posted August 3, 2023 Share #61 Posted August 3, 2023 Hello Ab. What will be the best way to get a copy of your new book? Best Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab Hoving Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share #62 Posted August 3, 2023 Hello Mike, Thank you for your interest. The best way is probably to wait until the book is out. We produced it after SeaWatchBooks asked for it, but so far I have not been abled to get in touch with Mike Ellison after earlier this year only briefly. I did most of the writing when I was recovering after the surgery, because building models was not a number one priority on my list during that period. By now Emiel is almost finished with the design and 'painting' new plates. So far it is not even in the state of printing. Hence the hush. 🙂 But I can assure you it is looking very good so far. Best, Ab Meriadoc Brandybuck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amateur: Yes, I posted this tutorial on a small Belgium forum, which closed its doors a few weeks ago. Thought it was a pity to let it disappear, so I made the translation and tried again. Hope you like it anyway. Hi Ab, I think you're how to is very inspiring! As a Dutchman I can quite easily read English, but with all the shipping terms it gets quite hard to understand sometimes. Is you're Dutch version of this article still somewhere available? And another question, is there a book or guide for me to learn basic (vintage) shipping basics/terms? Preferably in Dutch.

Ab Hoving Posted May 26 Author Share #64 Posted May 26 Thanks for the compliment Marcel. I sent you a PM with the Dutch version. Too big to post here. Good luck. Ab Marcel1981, Ryland Craze and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab Hoving Posted May 26 Author Share #65 Posted May 26 As to your second question: In 2000 I published a book called 'De schepen van Abel Tasman' at Verloren Publishers (www.Verloren.nl), both in Dutch and in German and English especially for model builders. The Dutch version was sold out long ago, but probably you can get it second hands somewhere. A lot of what you need can be found in the book.
