Today, just a brief update. However, there are a number of photos of the next step: making and installing the second part of the masts (marsstengen in Dutch) and making the first three yards.

Thanks Kuba!
Kolderstok's “midden eiken” stain has a light red color that looks great on all wood that is a bit lighter in color.

Haha! Thanks for the compliment again Grant! You should know I've been checking out your bounty blog for a while now.
Merry christmas to everyone!
A little late Eric so I hope you had a jubilant Christmas. Cheers Grant
Is was a great day out with wife en kids Stephan! Thanks!
Good morning Eric. I am seriously late but wish you a belated happy birthday and a wonderful 2026. Cheers Grant
Good morning everyone,
I hope everyone has had a good start to the new year.
Today, I am posting the final update on the work I have done in the past. In doing so, I have summarised more than five years of work in a few weeks.
From the next update onwards, I will be reporting “live” on the progress of the completion of this project.
In this update, I will use a large number of photos to show how I finished the masts up to their highest point, completed the standing rigging and hung the first four yards.

Due to the large number of photos, the photos of the rigging of the yards are in a separate post. The sails you see in the photos are trial sails. When all the yards are ready, I will start on the final version of the sails.
We have now reached the point where my version of the Bounty was on display at the Dutch National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam.
Among others, @janzwart organised a fantastic day at the end of September last year, which was attended by many Dutch ship model builders.
(The guy unrecognisable in the background in the second photo, for example, is Peter Voogt. These photos were taken by Jan Zwart. Others who were present included: Janzwart , petervoogt, Scheepshoorn, Maarten and many others.
