Hi Maarten - it is great to hear from you. I have thought about that challenge, but to be honest, a full scratch-build seems unlikely （for me）. I would like to think / hope that I have one or two options in this regard, but only time will tell. Conversely, it would be a brilliant project for someone with the experience and the tools wanting to build a Dutch model of this era. Whoever wants to take up the challenge will have a superbly researched and accurate set of plans at their disposal.
