Hi all out there,
my name is Mark Heiden from the Netherlands and new to this forum.
Not new to shipbuilding. I have build several models from Building Boats like a “platbodem”, “zeeschouw” and the Bounty.
i started about 30 years ago with a schratch build model from drawings in a book. It was originally plans of a vessel called “the royal ALbert” but it is modified to match parts from another model. I started this build back in my schooldays and have been building on and off. After 30 years it was finally finished and i named her “de Hollandse Leeuw” or “the Dutch Lion”
currently working on the BB Oseberg (old version) With the plastic ornaments in stead of the lasercut wood ornaments.
Many plans for the future like building full or section part of something called ships camels but that is in a very early stage.
Other plans i am looking at is a steam torpedo boat from end 1800 early 1900 but also this is in investigating state only at the moment.
I already looked around at the forum and saw many interesting things and hope to learn a lot here.
regards,
Mark Heiden
