flying_dutchman2 Posted February 13, 2014 #2 Posted February 13, 2014 AND AFFORDABLE AS WELL mARC WackoWolf, geoff and NMBROOK 3 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
WackoWolf Posted February 13, 2014 #3 Posted February 13, 2014 That's a nice write up about those books, now anyone that is looking for information on a certain ship now knows which book to get. thanks. geoff, Jaxboat, NMBROOK and 1 other 4 Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :)
Landlubber Mike Posted July 16, 2015 #4 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) How helpful are these books? In particular, I'm wondering about the chapter on the Corel Unicorn in Volume 3. I plan on modifying the kit to create the HMS Lyme, a sister ship of the Unicorn, so I'm wondering how much detail is included in the volume. As a number of us building the Unicorn kit have noticed, there are a lot of inaccuracies in the kit. Thanks!

geoff Posted July 16, 2015 #6 Posted July 16, 2015 some captions are wrong as well such as in the New Period Ship Handbook the Bounty is called the Endeavour I think, but overall very good. Landlubber Mike 1 Quote
reklein Posted July 16, 2015 #7 Posted July 16, 2015 I have at least one of Keiths books but I haven't found anything very detailed about planking specially with the kit supplied material. I can't seem to get straight planks to lie flat on the hull in the bow area. I see a few guys on the forum have done a pretty good job of getting them smooth and orderly looking but not quite the way a real ship would be planked. I even built a bending jig as is illustrated in his book but one still gets the stair stepping effect with straight planks. The only cure I have found is spiling and I'm not sure I'm doing it right and Its very time consuming.
