I think, that we all like stories and infos about ships and your posts are very interesting for me just because you write what you write. It is difficult to make a good model without knowledge so don't stop writing about the research and the past. It is very helpful for those who make old Dutch ships :-)))

I hope you keep the stories coming.
The history is fun and the craftsmanship is excellent. Mike |

A bit long, perhaps, but like any post of yours that I've seen absolutely chock-full of interesting information. Fred is right, no apology is necessary. If you weren't here we'd be much the poorer Ab. By all means do your paper model research here. If you use it to build a wooden ship I say so much the better. Just post some pics in the Other Things We Do and Make section.

Funny that you mention that at this moment. As a matter of facts I am working on a big 160-feet long man-of-war to enlarge the possibilities for our photoshop-paintings. I will soon show some results if anyone is interested, but not in this thread. I'm afraid I will have to open a new one for warships.
There was a plan to do a small one first, a so-called 'wadconvooier', which was an armed vessel for the protection of small fleets of merchant ships sailing in the Northern territories between Holland and Denmark, but somehow I got lost in the re-use of a rejected hull of an Eastindia Man I made some time ago. I will make some pictures and post them here soon. |

Ab, your stories are very informative and fully illustrate the thinking and building process you go through. The models you make are from scratch and part of the job is doing quite a bit of research before you can design and build anything. It's interesting so please continue this way!
Your son made another masterpiece, drying the sails in calm weather. Luckily I understand the Dutch subtitles ! Cheers, Erik |

tying up loose ends
Checking my posts just for fun I noticed that I never ended this thread properly, although a considerabel time has past since the last post.
Well, hereby the last of the small workhorses as shot and photoshopped by Emiel: There are some eastern eggs in these 'paintings' For instance the barrel floating in the water on the busses-plate. It bears the inscription: Hoving faked it. The two ships lying in a calm show the near absence of wind. I will soon start a short report on how I tried my hand on a big ship in a calm and what lessons we can learn from using the right material for sails. Hope to be back soon. |
