Alex K. Posted September 10, 2023 Author #35 Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) And I decided to do some woodwork, the rudder. Laminating with walnut strips makes it look just a bit nicer.

Alex K. Posted September 10, 2023 Author #36 Posted September 10, 2023 But while placing it, I ran into a problem... And scraping some wood off the top of the rudder didn't have the desired effect. I may have to put the dremel into the lower part of of the decorations on the back of the ship. I'll take some time to think this over.. zappto and Quimp Slattery 1 1 Quote ------------- Next build: Definitely highest on my list is the Batavia (Kolderstok), just need to find some more time before I will start.

Alex K. Posted September 10, 2023 Author #37 Posted September 10, 2023 Finally it fits. Mostly with bending. I tried the dremel, but that didn't give the right result and I didn't want to destroy too much.

Alex K. Posted October 15, 2023 Author #43 Posted October 15, 2023 This weekend I managed todo some more. I decided not to use the Mamoli lifeboat, but I already ordered a life boat from Kolderstok a few years ago for this purpose.

Alex K. Posted December 5, 2023 Author #45 Posted December 5, 2023 Lately I've put some effort in creating a showcase for the Friesland (acrylic). The glue came out near the edges, I guess I should have used more liquid glue, even though this was the supplier's preferred glue (acrifix 192). Removing the glue and polishing should be possible, but where I tried it, you can still see it. Anyway, I added ledlights and this is the result: ccoyle, Katsumoto and Ronald-V 3 Quote ------------- Next build: Definitely highest on my list is the Batavia (Kolderstok), just need to find some more time before I will start.

Katsumoto Posted December 9, 2023 #46 Posted December 9, 2023 Hi Alex, She has become a beautiful ship and I have seen her in real life in Amsterdam. I wish you all the best with your next project and I see I'm captured on one of the pictures as well... 🙄🙂 It was nice speaking to you and hopefully see you next time again!
