Marco_van_H Posted October 16, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Hello all, Pleased to be here! I'm new to this forum, not entirely new to (ship) modelling. As far as ship building is concerned, I am particularly interested in paper civilian ships and wooden sailing vessels. I'm currently building Amati's galleon Revenge.

GGibson Posted October 16, 2023 Share #6 Posted October 16, 2023 Welcome, Marco! Wow, awesome work on what you have done! I am pretty new to the ship building community, as well, so I can't identify all of them. What is the third from last ship with the white lower hull? Beautiful ships!

Marco_van_H Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share #11 Posted October 17, 2023 Thank you all! Gregg, that ship is the VOC East-Indiaman Batavia, which got infamously wrecked off Australia on her maiden voyage. It is a model published by Kolderstok in the Netherlands (https://kolderstok.com/en/) (kolderstok is Dutch for whipstaff). There's a full replica in Lelystad, which I visited a number of times to photograph for the model.

petervisser Posted October 18, 2023 Share #13 Posted October 18, 2023 Welcome Marco! That is quite the impressive fleet you have! Coincidently, I was a passenger aboard the Stephan Batory in the early 80's sailing from Montreal to Rotterdam and back. You are probably already aware she was the former Maasdam. Anyhoo, glad to have you with us!
