[ceestoorn]

After 6 monds I'll have put the hull of this model into the bin.It was not what I did want and the model was not strait.

Today I have started to build the ship again and I'll hope I can give You a update every month.

On the foto the trownaway model.

Hoi Cees,

 

Good to see another Dutch ship being build.  I'll be following your efforts.

Where in the Netherlands do you live?

 

Groetjes,

[ceestoorn]

Hoi Piet,

I live in roden in The province Drenthe near Groningen

I only build duch ship arrond 1600 and have made severall

Your ships by the way looks fine

groetjes cees

[Piet]

Hoi Cees,  thank you for looking at my builds.  

Roden eh?  What a coincidence, my Admiral, my dear wife's brother in-law lives in Roden.  Many, many years ago on one of our visits to see family we stayed with him and his wife, Gwen's oldest sister.  Gwen's sister died a several years ago though.  I doubt that we will be visiting family in Holland again, but one never knows what the future brings.

His name is Henk Kars and lives at Staten Laan 57.  9301RJ.  If and when you see him say hi from me 

Henk is a retired trade school teacher and director, he is good with tools and how to handle them.  Hnady to have as a friend 

 

Have you started cutting wood yet?  Am very anxious in following your build.

Right now my VOC ship seems to be on hold in favor for my father's submarine, the O 19.  

 

Groetjes,

Hello,

As I promised here is the first foto of the new"Willem Barentzs"

I made the keel this time in a frame and started with the fruktons .

It is a slow proces in this way of working ,but I find it relaxing work after a day of labor.

I'll hope Yoy all can see some thing in it already

^{Hi Cees!}

^{This is an interesting project. Do you know the name of the ship? I thought they are building a replica in Harlingen but that you'll know better for sure.}

 

^{I asume that it is the ship he used to sail to Nova Zembla?}

 

^{Good luck and have fun.}

 

^Cheers,

Good morning Cees,

 

Happy birthday. I hope you have a great day.

Van harte gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, maak er een mooie dag van.

 

It's a pity your first model didn't work out.

Good luck with your second Willem Barentzs.

Hi Cees,

 

Are you using the Emke-drawings?

And: just for info: how long is the model?

 

Jan

[ceestoorn]

Anja thanks it is not my first model

You can check on members.home.nl/c.toorn/ for the rest of some of my work

 

Jan

Yes Iám using the Emke-drawings I know they are olso a ges Butthere is no more and Ab hoving put in his experions so I thust these are teh best we have at the moment.

The model is about 35 cm

 

scale 1:66

[amateur]

In the same book, there are some drawings by  De Weerdt.

Actually, I like the De Weerd version more than the Hoving version.

The ship from Willem Barents

It is going slow but I find it satisfaction

[amateur]

Lookgin good.

 

Question: fore and aft, you have to grind your frames at quite an angle.

Are they thick enough to allow for that angle?

 

Jan

[ceestoorn]

Hoi Jan,

Yes I'll think so I place a new spant at every 2.5 number till now it looksoke

By the way where You from??

the canons wre not what I expected so I made them new and now of wood the collor is now perfect

Hope you all like is so far

 

[cog]

Cees,

 

Looking good. Do ou keep some of the deck open to show the inner parts of the ship?
