peveka Posted March 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2019 Hi all. After a very long break I re-enter this great forum with a building log of HMS Bellona. My first posts have been somewhere in the beginning of 2015 and after this long break I realise that I haven't had the decency to introduce myself properly. So here goes. My name is Pieter, I'm a retired physio, Dutch but not fanatically so. I have lived in Switzerland for over 30 years and a few years ago I have been adopted as a Breton in the beautiful part of France called la Bretagne. Close to the sea, close to some very nice and famous harbours. I've not built many models (a clipper-like model that goes under many names, a botter, the Gretel, the SF one -took me 18 years ... - ) and I took my time to make all the mistakes one can make. Now I feel nothing can go wrong when I tackle the Bellona. Well, ahem, I've erred before ... I am looking very much forward to this project. Parallel to this I am working on fun project: a Dutch Clog-a-War. I am rigging a size 12 clog in the fashion of a 18th century armed 2-master. If the mods don't find it too silly I will start a building log. We'll see. Thanks for reading and thank you all for this wonderful forum! Cheers Pieter ccoyle, dvm27 and mtaylor 3 Quote Some much wood so little time ...

Rare jongens die Hollanders ;o) Well, Belgians would expect the Dutch to try to save money everywhere, wouldn't they? ;o) Cheers Pieter Baker and mtaylor 2 Quote Some much wood so little time ...
