Hi to all of you on SOS.
I am new on this forum but have been looking around for a while now and must pay respect to some beautiful builds over here.
My father, who passed away years ago, left me the book "De 7 Provinciën". Years later now I have decided to build a model of this illustrious Dutch ship. This book by C.G. Dik comes with a set of plans and accompanied by an other set of plans from the website of the deceased Otte Blom I have started my scratch build. Already learned a lot from this forum and also from MSW, in particular the build log there of Dražen Carić, who has been an example for the start of my journey.
It has been some 40 years ago that I have built a model ship so you can say I am a returnee to the hobby but in fact it feels I am new to it and certainly new to a scratch build. So a lot to learn. In the meantime I have collected and studied several books about the ways of ship- and model building, I think indispensable to make a scratch build into a success.
