ensor Posted November 18, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2023 My name in Luc, and I live in Flanders, Belgium. I already finished several kits (Albatros, Sharke, Dutch gunboat, ...), but now I started scratch building. I bought some (mostly secondhand) quality machinery and tools, and, as a firtst attempt, I am currently working on the ’bateau de Lanveoc’, plans from Ancre. Very satisfying until now (pearwood!), this forum is a great source of information and inspiration for me. My workshop is on the ceeling of the house, not very big but cosy and convenient.

JacquesCousteau Posted November 19, 2023 Share #11 Posted November 19, 2023 Welcome! If you post a build log, I'll definitely follow it. The bateau de lanveoc looks like a fascinating build, and I don't think there are any logs for it.

No Idea Posted November 19, 2023 Share #17 Posted November 19, 2023 ensor when I was driving through Europe one of my regular stops was between Ypres and Wormhout in France. It was a routier call Hoffland which was owned by a guy call Michael. I have great memories of this place and although it is not a pub - the bar was always open and usually open late too. I think it was in Steenvoorde but my memory fails me sometimes now. Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ones left are in the capital of our village . Come to think of it, with 2 ship modellers in 1 village, that will make the village the "ship modelling capital of Belgium" 🤣 GGibson, Keith Black and mtaylor 3 Quote Roel Gallery Scratch built: 1/700 CLV Living Stone 1/700 ULCC Ti Europe 1/400 Split barge Bengel 1/100 tug Union Eagle 1/2000 Sea Installer - bottle Build logs: 1/2000 Sea Installer - FINISHED - Bottle 1/2000 Spartacus - not in a bottle anymore 1/100 LPG Tanker Chaconia - Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
