Very nice Samuel, this is the look I had planed for my kit, with all the sails visible .

Thanks Galleons!

 

I'd like to see some pics of your project.

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.

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.

Yes, I do and yes, she is not the "norm". Very few people built boats like these. Except the Dutch modelers on this site.

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.
