Thanks Heinrich , it sure is a great model and what inspired me is the history hence our visit to Indonesia last year
Thank you! I had to ask . . .
More shrouds etc, actually I bought a ‘Lazy Susan’ so I can swivel the project around to work on the opposite site when needed without lifting a finger ! LOL , been busy with other things so be patient!!

Hallo Robert, ein sehr schönes Modell. Ich bin Bootsbauer und habe die Lisa von Lübeck mit gebaut. Die Lisa ist die letzte Koggenart, eine Krawel.

I am not really good in German language , using the translator hope you don’t mind , agree it is a great model to build , not only that the history
Great progress Robert.
Dark Shrouds and ratlines nearly completed , cutting excess rope of the ratlines , i toothpick dip the end with CA Glue , once dry easily snaps off easily and neat using my curing cutter , couldn’t resist to hoist some flags , the one with the 3 crosses is ‘Amsterdam’,
Beautiful ship. Great work!
True story
She is looking beautifull Roger.
Started the Rigging and yards and flags in position , not much details showing but an overall view , late afternoon in Church Point , NSW
Good afternoon Robert. Stunning all round..! Cheers Grant
what Grant said, Stunning
When Revell released their plastic kit of this ship, I jumped on the kit since it was the last release of a sailing ship in years. Then, I gradually started building wood kits. Enter Kolderstok. I am blown away by their quality and their line! Therefore, I am saving for their de Zeven Proviencien. May your build do you justice!
