michael mott Posted October 18, 2014 #97 Posted October 18, 2014 Very well executed Kees, weathering is an art and you have excelled at it. the picture of the boat with the sand are very convincing.

divarty Posted October 19, 2014 #98 Posted October 19, 2014 Kees I just saw this in the completed build forum and came back to find your log. I am amazed, it's absolutely perfect, the weathering is top notch. When I showed the pictures to my admiral she at first thought it was a real boat. You are a master builder, thank you for sharing your work with us. Current Build Rattlesnake Previous Builds 18th Century Longboat by MS HMS Victory cross section
kees de mol Posted October 19, 2014 Author #99 Posted October 19, 2014 I must say that I am overwelmed by the reactions on this forum and on facebook.

Krelis Posted February 4, 2015 #105 Posted February 4, 2015 I always wondered about the compactness of these boats, now I know, its the consequence of the Scottisch licensing system. You have 10 metre and under and over 10 metre. Absolutely great model by the way, I keep getting back to these pictures. kees de mol and flying_dutchman2 2
flying_dutchman2 Posted March 20, 2015 #106 Posted March 20, 2015 Hartstikke mooi. The weathering is absolutely gorgeous. It looks so real and the details are just amazing. The boat itself looks weird. It is all bow and stern and the mid section and what Jan B. wrote makes a lot of sense. On that same note is the way a Dutch Fluit looks, Skinny top and fat bottom. Small narrow deck because this was how the load was taxed. Marc kees de mol 1 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).
