I am happy that there is finally a kit maker who takes Dutch shipbuilding seriously.
Beautiful model.

Thank you colleagues for the warm feedback.

@ Ab @ It is "serious" thanks to your help and very valuable advice and tips.

It seemed to me that everything was ready and only creme de la creme remained, i.e. masts, rigging and sails. But it is a huge project and I had to bend over the anchors, lanterns and a second boat, towed behind the ship. Here again I'd like to thank Ab for the design of such a boat that he once gave me. So I made one anchor, tested one lantern ...

I put up the first masts with shrouds, loading tackles and stays. The bowsprit has found its place too, and now at least I know how big a stand and a display case I need to prepare. Unfortunately, building such details at the end of the entire project takes a long time, because suddenly I find that I am missing one or two parts the size of a coin. You have to draw them, print them, protect them with varnish and the next two hours "leaked between your fingers" (I do not know if there is such a saying in English, but it clearly illustrates the time that is running out, which cannot be slowed down or stopped in any way). In order not to waste your time, I invite you to take a look at the last photos:







... and height fitting together with flagpoles...
