Kolderstok kits now available at Ages of Sail

[AgesOfSail]

Hello folks, exciting news for us!

 

Ages of Sail is now carrying the line of 17th century Dutch wooden ship model kits from Kolderstock of the Netherlands.

 

We're pretty excited about being able to provide these kits here in the U.S. and abroad.

 

 

The Kolderstok Line of Kits

 

Batavia

 

Duyfken

 

Statenyacht

 

The Expedition Ship of Willem Barentsz

 

Zeven Provinciën, Flagship of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter

 

These kits are designed for experienced ship modelers: 

 

The aim of Kolderstok is to offer a high quality range of wooden model boat kits for ships not available elsewhere. Models of famous ships of the Dutch Golden Age, such as those belonging to the VOC (Dutch East India Company), but also ships famous for the great battles in which they served. Ships under the command of well-known names: Michiel de Ruyter, Marten Harpenszoon Tromp, Jan and Cornelis Evertsen and Adriaen Banckert. Kolderstok models are created using old images and existing models as guidelines, thus ensuring the best possible accuracy.

Kolderstok kits consist of laser-cut keel, frames and decks, planking for the hull and decks, masts, yards, rigging and a full set of hand-cast resin ornaments. The ornaments will need a finishing touch.

 

Sail kits are available as a separate kit for the ship model kits that do not already include them. Sail kits include necessary material, instructions, blocks, and belaying pins to mount them. They are not pre-sewn.
