I think you are lucky, the publisher has some English versions left:

The Ships of Abel Tasman

Mind you, the CD-Rom was made in the nineties for a since long outdated version of Windows. It seems still possible to use it, but not in the way it was intended in those days.
Good luck!

I definately will. The Shipways Papegojan 1627 is very much identical to Abel Tasmans Heemskerck, so i will base the framing on that and all the detailing on your book. Again thank you for all your help.

With all due respect to Shipways Company, taking the single decked Papagojan as the basis for a VOC vessel that had to sail to the other side of the world is definitely a historically doubtful decision. Two decks for such a ship is a must in my opinion. Even the simple fluit ship Zeehaen had two decks.
But don't let me intervene with your plans.

I probably didnt explain my intentions well. I will only use the method of hull construction of the Papagojan as i like the rigidity and the abundace of bulkheads they use in the way they assemble their models. For me it just makes planking alot easier. So I will create images of all the hull components of the Papagojan and using Solid Works i will redesign all lengths dimensions and countours of the bulkheads correctly as per the information i can get from your book and the plans provided within.
That is why i was so desperately looking for it, and I bought it yesterday....thank you.
Rigging and all deck details will come mainly from your book as well.

My interest in Dutch ships originated from Historical wargaming. started perdominately with napoleonic naval battles but i have for some time got more interested in the Anglo Dutch Wars. Bigger fleet actions, nicer ships and amazing historical events. so im building a very large Dutch fleet at the moment in 1/600 scale, in 3D resin

Yes, I totally misunderstood you. All clear now, thank you.
Beautiful model ! What did you use as material?
Also an interesting way to get hooked up in this matter. Never saw that before.
