Alex K. Posted May 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2020 Hi All, After my build of the Half Moon, I started buiding the Friesland of Mamoli. However, when the 2nd planking was nearly done, I paused buiding due to all kinds of circumstances. Now that I'm working from home for 2 months already (due to Corona), I picked up buiding again. I'll post some pictures of the buid in 2013, end then continue where I left off. I hope to finish this build, I didn't start a report earlier because I was afraid I wouldn't keep it up. But now I built for 2 months already, I dare to start. this report. Hopefully you like it, and help my motivation to keep up!

amateur Posted May 18, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 18, 2020 Hi Alex, Nice work so far! Do you know the book by Heinrich Winter 'Hollandische Zweidecker 1660/1670'? He gives quite a lot of pictures of a model of a Dutch two-decker. Dik has used the drawings from that book as a starting point for his recreation of the Zeven Provincien, and Mamoli clearly used the book as primary inspiration for the Friesland. The pics in the book may be helpful when it comes to the detailing of the decks. Jan Bill Morrison, coxswain and J11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will (try to) do the gallion according to those plans. So there is some scratch work to be done as well.

S.Coleman Posted May 23, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 23, 2020 Looking real smart. I love the weathered look of the wood. I never included the nails on the strakes but now I wish I did. Just check the length of your lower cannons as some kits had them too long and they would stick out too far. One builder on here had dramas and had to cut them down shorter. Top job your doing.

I also used it for the Half Moon, and there I made it shiny. This time I didn't polish it, which gives it a weathered look indeed. I didn't put all the nails yet, still working on that. I'll double check the cannons... althouth I think I took it into accout 7 years ago when building the hull.

Alex K. Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share #22 Posted August 2, 2020 I've been building this weekend quite a bit. And I ordered sails from Kolderstok. They're actually for the Zeven Provincien, but that is the same type of ship, and the size matches as well. So with a few adjustments I can use these.

Even though it seems it's almost finished, there is still somework to do: - continue with some more sails - building the life boat - complete the upper row of cannon hatches - anchors - finishing touch details I plan to keep you uptodate. 🙂 Best Regards, Alex chris watton, GrandpaPhil, zappto and 1 other 4 Quote ------------- Next build: Definitely highest on my list is the Batavia (Kolderstok), just need to find some more time before I will start.
