Hi Heinrich,@Maarten Hi Maarten. Thank you very much for the picture. What is interesting is that bulkhead #6 in the kit conforms to that first "frame" (indicated by the arrow) in the picture below. It is significant, because it indicates the widest point of the hull and care has to be taken to fair that bulkhead correctly.

What is interesting is that both the Speeljacht (that @rtibbs ) is building and the Fluit (which is under development) is also constructed via the "shell-first" method, just like Dutch ships were built originally.
Jan, counseling no. Therapy, probably
Thank you Johan. I am glad you enjoy the build and the log.Real impressive how you execute this build ánd simultaneously keep an extensive build log with valuable information.
Absolutely agree with you Johan.Not only does Heinrich build beautiful and interesting ships his log is like a on line course in ship history and building techniques. Love itReal impressive how you execute this build ánd simultaneously keep an extensive build log with valuable information.

Haha first I have to finish Alert and Royal Caroline. But in my mind it is already build and I have already thought out how I will build it as it will be shell firstHi Heinrich,
Yes the fluit would be an interesting build. Finally a propet dutch fluitschip in a kit.

Looking fantastic Heinrich. . You trying to confuse us... WB in front of the Batavia box. Getting to know some Dutch ship courtesy of your logs.. Merry Christmas to you and your family.Hello Everyone. Today was spent tidying up, doing final sanding and so on.

Rear three-quarter view port side. On this picture you can also see that all curvatures at the stern had been filed and sanded to shape. I also cut the channel at the stem for the keel to fit which took the most time.

View from the top showing what the planking looks like on the other side and the beautiful lines of the ship. Notice just how bulbous the hull is midships.
