Thank you Michael, extremely kind of you to say. Ik know that I am a bit misplaced on this forum, that's why I posted the announcement under Other things we do & make, but having posted about many of my ships here, under which the pinas years ago, I thought I could not leave this forum out. So thanks again.
By the way, I thoroughly appreciate your builds. Amazing!
Erik, thank you too for your positive comment. A pinas took 4 to 5 months in the 17th century to build, by a crew of 20 to 21 men. Long days, hard work, but an amazing accomplishment.
I just delivered seven of my paper models to an archaeological museum nearby (in Castricum), where they get a nice place in an exhibition about the products that were imported by all these modest ships.
Working on a small fluit at the moment, but I showed the system so many times here, that it would only be a repetition to do it again.
Many compliments for your modeling skills. I like the Halinski kits.
