Thank you very much Richie. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can return to her but plenty of other things to keep me busy.

@Dematosdg Hi Daniel - trust me, that fish is to die for. I will most definitely not classify myself as a good cook, or even a cook - but that is one dish I do know how to do well!
As to the Haarlem, thank you very much for the kind words!

Thank you very much Dean. I agree that the rigging and sails will add a lot of value. But before I even start to attempt that, I have to be settled in and have a permanent place to work on her.Looks great Heinrich! I really like the way the stand compliments the ship. The ship really has turned out very nice so far! One day she will be a real beauty with all the masts and rigging.

There has been so much reaction to the Fluit that Kolderstok is developing, that I thought it appropriate to show you the status of the test build by Hans Groenenberg. Enjoy!

As you can see, rigging has started.

Oh yes, the task that never seems to end until your done one day and never knew how you got there.
The shrouds look great with the dead eyes nice and even. Will this get rat lines?

Yes - surely it will get rat lines. It is always one of the more boring steps in building - knot after knot after knot after....
Many builders are often a bit reluctant to start this.

Hi Kurt. Yes the dreaded ratlines are waiting for Hans!
And Heinrich - thank you for posting these images. I will try to start a new log for the Fluyt within short time - but it is busy in the business. 
Yikes! Another beautiful ship from Kolderstok.
I really like the lines of her. Hans is a master.

Only a pleasure Hans. If it's busy at work I'm very happy - it means we will be delighted with many more models in the future!And Heinrich - thank you for posting these images. I will try to start a new log for the Fluyt within short time - but it is busy in the business.

Hi Ron. She has exquisite lines, but like everything that is truly worthwhile, it's a challenge to get her to look like this!
That is a very nice stand you made Heinrich, she is looking beautifull on it, btw, when are you going to move to the new flat??
I agree, I’ve been following his build log. Definitely not for a beginner
Hi Heinrich,
I am just playing catch-up with your excellent log and build. I read your words from your post last Tuesday, “These will be the last pictures of the Haarlem for quite a while“ and thought - ‘oohhh nooo‘ - then realised why.
Such a beautiful model you have built. Keep a tight hold in that car!

Thank you my dear friend. The stand is supplied by Kolderstok (it is an optional extra) and is made out of oak. All I had top do was to assemble it. I am looking forward to see how it will look once the Tung Oil has been applied. The new apartment will be ready by the end of this month, but seeing that I have already paid my current apartment's rent for December, I am not sure when I will move.

Ron, this is the challenging part as far as I am concerned - where the top stern planks are completely unsupported (except for the little jig) and the gap has to be filled in with scarph-jointed planks.I agree, I’ve been following his build log. Definitely not for a beginner
In my book, this one is not for the faint of heart.

Thank you very much for your kind words Roger. I promise I will hold tightly. The packing away for a while is regrettable, but at least not permanent. I cannot wait for you to return to the Syren - I am rooting for a speedy recovery.Hi Heinrich,

Thanks Heinrich. Another week or two and then I'll be able to see all my Syren mistakes really clearly
Absolutely Heinrich. When I got that far in his build log I said to myself “Self, that’s way above your pay grade”. As I stated previously he is truly a master builder.
