Good morning Robert. Lovely photos. Always good to view. Cheers Grant
Batavia VOC 1:72 Kolderstok by RobertD [COMPLETED BUILD]
Hello Robert, the low light and beautiful background cast such a beautiful patina on her mast and spars, especially in the second and third photo.
Received the display case this morning , and dry fit the Batavia in her new home !, she is still work in progress though, my wife how much is the cost ? I told her the State of NSW will cover that as I am summoned to jury duty at the Supreme Court for 22 weeks ?? Not sure if I have the time to work on her
A beautiful case! But did you say 22 weeks of jury duty? That can't be right???
22 weeks, yes that’s right , might not be on one case though , in
May I was summoned as well and appeared 4 times and in this instance the sheriff required 18 weeks attendance , I couldn’t do that , in the later instance I have no excuse !
Love the lines of the case......the lines of the ship aren't bad either 
Well done package!!
Well done package!!
Good morning Robert. She looks marvellous in her new home. Wow that’s is a very long time to sit for jury duties. Makes me relieved we don’t have a jury system here in SA. Cheers Grant
Thanks Grant ! I guess various trials , in May I had to appear 4 times and dismissed
Received the little spot lights ! It is just a must to complement the display , still working on the rigging , slow but not in a hurry
Getting darker
I have never posted detailed photographs , and perhaps an inspiration to for others to help them in our fabulous hobby!
a great looking model - many thanks for the details
are still working on the rigging, or did you finish her in the meantime? The flags are already installed......

Good afternoon Robert. Wonderful close up pics showing all the detail. Cheers Grant
A beautiful case and in combination with the lighting it does really do justice to the fine model.
Still a bit to do , cleaning up and yes it is a great model , I found the history of this ship very inspiring , the main reason for me to build her
The mini lights just awesome !
Thanks Grant , as a reminder I will have a go today at the remaining rigging
VOC Batavia finally completed ! Went to the Maritime Museum and had a look at the ‘Duyfken’ , thinking about my next project , the Batavia was a pleasure to build and Kolderstok will have to be congratulated for a beautiful kit no doubt
