Hello colleagues,
I have been a member for a few passive months now and wanted to say a few words to me. Some of you will already know me from the sagelschiffsmodellbau.com or the MSW.
I myself have been interested in sailing ships since my childhood, especially in historical sailing ships. For almost 30 years I have been an active sailor on charter yachts. In former times with friends, but for a longer time mainly with my family.
I like to read and also own a large number of maritime books.
Of course model building plays a big role. Beside many plastic models from my youth I build essentially the models in wood. My first work was the Endeavour, then came the Wasa, the Robert-E-Lee (even if this is not a sailing ship) and at the end of last year I finished the model of the Amerigo Vespucci. Uwe, whom I got to know in Rochefort, has already posted some pictures of it. At the moment I'm going to tackle the Réale de France. I'm currently trying to come up with a new plan.
And then last year I wrote a book, which is available since a few weeks "Die Farbe Blau im historischen Schiffbau".
Further information: http://www.modellbau-muellerschoen.de/buch-blau-en.htm
In a few weeks an English translation with David Antscherl as editor will also be available ("The colour blue in historic shipbuilding").
That would be it for now. I will see to it that I put some pictures of my models in the gallery in the near future.
See you soon, Joachim
