Shipyard sid Posted March 9, 2014 #1 Posted March 9, 2014 Greetings all I have been looking for my next kit build , and looking at building the mamoli Friesland.. Has anybody built this ship or can advise me of the quality of mamoli kits and plans etc. DAVID....... shipyard Sid Quote
dgbot Posted March 9, 2014 #2 Posted March 9, 2014 The Friesland makes into a great model. However one of my club memebrs built it and siad that the kit has several errors and flaws. If you do your research and think outside the box you will build a masterpiece. MSW will give you support and knowledge to build it.

marktiedens Posted March 9, 2014 #3 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I have built this kit & it does make into a nice model.The biggest flaw is the lower gunport metal frames - they need to be set back farther than the plans indicate or the cannons will stick out too far.Plans & instructions are ok. /Mark Edited March 9, 2014 by marktiedens Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways
Shipyard sid Posted March 9, 2014 Author #4 Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks a lot David and Mark for your advice. And as you say David we can all rely on the support of MSW members. Mark I just noticed you are building the sergal Vasa which I was looking at as another choice...... Once again thanks, it's now over to the admiral she has got a plastic card. DAVID Quote

Marsares Posted March 17, 2014 #6 Posted March 17, 2014 David, There's one build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1916-friesland-by-aj-mamoli-scale-175/page-1?hl=friesland I was about to mention this. Also, as mentioned in that build log, there's a rather detailed Dutch log: http://translate.google.com/translate?client=tmpg&depth=1&hl=en&langpair=nl%7Cen&rurl=translate.google.com&u=http://www.vanhalterenweb.nl/modelbouw/%3Fcat%3D5%26paged%3D12 I'm intending to make the Friesland my next model, so I'd be keen to follow your build log if you do decide to go for the Friesland.
