If you look at a newer kit company called Kolderstock, a 1/77 scale kit of der Zeven Provencien is available. I have heard that it is an excellent kit!

Thank you all for the nice comments and likes, much appreciated.
Finally the last row of planks, the garboard strake, has been installed.
The front planks were shaped out of 2 pieces of wood, not bent, but shaped to fit the curvature of the hull and tapered towards the front.
And of course provided with scarphed joints.
The planks used are somewhat thicker than the hull planking to realize the slope of the garboard strake into the keel. the pencil line is the line representing the total width of the keel bar. The slope of the garboard strake is realized by means of tapering the corner towards the pencil line.

I'm always excited to see that you have posted something Herman. This is just brilliant modeling!
Hi Stephan. First of all thank you.
I build my 7P mostly as per the drawings of O. Blom. The bow as per his drawings:
That looks very nice, Herman.
Regards, Peter
, Blom. Yes he ends there a bit strange.
It might be a bit strange but you see something similar on the "Hohenzollern" model of the Dutch twodecker.
It maybe looks now a bit too pronounced (more protruding as per the drawings of O.Blom than as per the Hohenzollern model) but I think it will look more natural as soon as the keel and bow are installed.
This is an excellent presentation, Herman. I love the way she looks!

Indeed there are drawings they show it your way, even more extreme. The first 2 rows of planking following this way to. This is a drawing of the HZ I believe, not sure.
I followed the line plan of the HZ in combination with the drawings of Hoving and there is the "zandstrook" in a more flowing way to the "voorsteven"
The Pinas Samuel in Den Helder is the wreckage. Looks like the drawings of Hoving. Maybe someone got a better picture of the front.
We will see when the "stevens" and the keel is installed on your ship. You used the drawing of Blom and in that case you keep to that. Nice work.

Very good modeling work - I love your planking
Good morning Herman. Way to go. You owned this. Cheers Grant

Always interesting, to share. Thanks.
I am with Stephan, always interesting to share.
I passed the Marinemuseum in Den Helder last week on our way to Texel, where you can see the Pinas-wreck exhibited in her glass cage.
I have been working on the keel and the stem post that must match the front part of the keel.
First I inserted the plywood into the slot in the hull and marked it with a pencil to get the correct form for the stempost.
The three parts for the keel were made and provided with slots.
The aft, middle and front part of the keel:
The plywood was inserted into the hull and reduced to protrude just a little to fit into the sluts of the keel.
Same procedure for the stempost.
Now matching the stempost and the keel
Two holes were made in the keel for the stands.
And the parts of the keel were glued to the model.
The stempost has not yet been glued to the model. I keep the stempost removable as long as I am working on different parts of the bow.

This is a very clever stem/keel attachment, Herman.
