flying_dutchman2 Posted February 8, 2019 Share #91 Posted February 8, 2019 Jack, the model looks good. In the beginning of your built you showed the sheet of PE with lots of items, but in the model I did not see much of it applied (or am I missing something). I understand that you decide how much PE you add to enhance the ship. Also in reality the ship cannot be too shiny, she should be in the colors of the sea and the sky. The PE makes for showing more details and it offsets it well with all that gray. Marcus popeye the sailor, Jack12477, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Jack12477 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share #92 Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I used quite a bit of the PE but a lot of it doesn't show in the photos; camera can't pick it all up and some of it gets lost in the forest so to speak. All the vertical ladders on the crane towers are PE, all the railings around the foreward and aft guns and stern are PE, also the railings around the main structure amid-ships are PE - the points on the tower where the lines attach are PE. My next ship probably will not have as much gray as this one.

cog Posted February 16, 2019 Share #97 Posted February 16, 2019 Than he should use the Halve Maen, use a Dutch ship not a Swedish one.
