A Dutch Fluyt in shell first, reconstructing the "Ghost ship" scale 1:36

The comment of Paul is saying everything. I hope to see the model in Amsterdam this year.

Waterways were indeed bolted horizontally through both the ships sides and the waterways.
The English word for 'schaarstokken' is 'binding strakes', although their appearance is different. In the English method they only run from beam to beam, in the Dutch method they are part of the longitudinal strength of the construction.

Still considering if I go to Amsterdam this year, this as Hamburg is this year as well and is in October only two weeks after Amsterdam.

Thanks Ab for the added info. I will add the horizontal bolts to the PS waterways as they will only be visible in the none planked deck. On the SB side I will add them on the outside of the hull only. I haven't seen any of these bolts in the accesible wreck data as these are mostly invisible or these parts are in most cases not remaining, do you know if these are visible on the Scheurrak SO1 wreck as here the whole ship side was conserved?

Lanterns are perfect. Planking is perfect. Framing is imperfectly perfect. Blah, blah, blah. Perfect.

Thanks Paul, but it is far from perfect.
Next time I would do some thing different again.

No, I don't know, but these bolts were driven in before the huiddigt was applied. They remain underneath the planking.

Well, that's always true - but this is still perfect .

I love the light.

By the way, the website is really hard to access. I was able to give it a like a little while ago, but then the site went black for me. It’s not my internet connection; it’s really because the server is overloaded.

If not in Amsterdam, we will see us in Hamburg. I am there with our German Forum.

Hi Ab,

That helps as these can be skipped on the SB side. On the PS side I will add these as the framing remains visible.

Hi Stephan,
Personally I haven't experienced this but off course it can happen if a lot people simultaneously visit the site.
Maybe @Jimsky can give some additiinal info on this.

Thank gentlemen, for the trust. I have not received any performance glitch reports from the software. I hardly believe that the forum has been overloaded. I'm preparing a report on how many members, on average, use the forum.
