greatgalleons Posted February 20, 2014 #31 Posted February 20, 2014 Very nice Samuel, this is the look I had planed for my kit, with all the sails visible . Quote
samueljr Posted February 20, 2014 Author #32 Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks Galleons! I'd like to see some pics of your project. Sam Quote ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNDER DEVELOPMENT
flying_dutchman2 Posted February 20, 2014 #33 Posted February 20, 2014 This boat looks beautiful. "Complete", sails, anchor and paddles for rowing. Personally, I think a boat is not complete when it doesn't have sails on it. I know the boat is a small scale so all the details are intense. Just gorgeous and I am drooling over the details.

samueljr Posted February 20, 2014 Author #34 Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks Dutchman I see you're wrapping up the YACHT MARY - one of my favorites. I built her about 20 yrs ago (or so). Do you have a build log or pics. I think she's one of the prettiest kits around and doesn't get enough credit. Sam flying_dutchman2 1 Quote ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Yes, I do and yes, she is not the "norm". Very few people built boats like these. Except the Dutch modelers on this site. The Mary http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4294-the-first-royal-dutch-yacht-%E2%80%9Dmary%E2%80%9D-1646/ It is heavily bashed as she is not correct. Not much has changed in a hundred years (1650-1750) when it came to rigging and sails of the yachts. So I followed the Plans and the books from the Utrecht and some Dutch Paintings. I like the boat and all types of yachts. If you look at my signature, these are the boats I plan to build. Marc Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.
