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.

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.

Mark.

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.

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.
