Marcel2718 Posted January 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2019 My name is Marcel(53) and live in Zoetermeer, Holland. Started a Year ago with building the “Le Camaret” as a test. Now I’m sure this will be my favorite hobby. At the moment I’am half way with a model called the “Groene Draeck”. In Holland still active and owned by the Royal family. Great to see and learn in this forum. I hope to receive my new adventure soon the “Sovereign of the Seas” by Sergal. Sofar my short introduction. Hope to post some pictures soon.

pontiachedmark Posted January 5, 2019 Share #6 Posted January 5, 2019 Gidday Marcel and a warm welcome from the Land Downuder. It appears you have also been bitten by the Modelling bug. I would appreciate some pictures of your Groene Draeck, if possible. There is a lot of support and encouragement here. Don't be afraid to ask questions. All the best with your build.

spars Posted January 6, 2019 Share #11 Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome to this site. My mother's mother met Kaiser Wilhelm II and she says he mentioned she was a 'pretty little girl'. So royalty has some of the most beautiful works of naval archetecture. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted January 6, 2019 Share #12 Posted January 6, 2019 The Groene Draak was a wedding present from the Dutch people to Prinses Beatrix and Prins Claus. Not a very 'royal design', on the contrary, it was based on the rather common flat bottomed working ships there used to be.
