Thanks, Mark! It’s a great kit, and I’ve learned a ton building it.

Hoi Mellisa,

I just find your buildlog.

It’s nice to see a Kolderstok model.

Last week i pick up my Duyfken from Kolderstok at Dordrecht .

The Statenjacht is also a beauty and i will follow you.

Thank you, Alex and Sjors. Here’s where I’m at now - deep into sails and rigging. The end is in sight, after a nearly year-long journey. It’s been (mostly) a lot of fun, and I’ve certainly learned a lot about ships and model building.

Finished!  After an 11-month journey, I’m calling it a Statenjacht.  It was a lot of fun, and I learned so much along the way. I wanted to build a kit for my second ship model that would be a stretch, and this definitely was that.  Could never have finished this project without constantly mining MSW for the myriad tips, tricks and advice found here. Kudos also to Hans at Kolderstok for producing a great kit - highly recommend if you’re interested in 17th Century Dutch sailing ships.  And I’m happy with the result. 😊

Congratulations Melissa on finishing your Statenjacht.  You did a beautiful job on this kit and it will be a joy to display.  I am sure that you learned more new skills on this build that you will use on your future ship models.
