One year back from mine dark age

[Jim]

Looking at the picture I might mean the RPA 11. It looks new and big. I will ask my old man on which one he was the captain. Maybe they know each other

I will ask mine dad when he back from his long winter stay in thailand, but that in march 2013 and i think they must no each other.

I will looking for the RPA 11 off it mayby possible rebuilding in studdles.

They probably do

Looking at your Smit Bronco and Staeldiep, there's no doubt in my mind that you will turn it into an awesome studless model. Really looking forward to it. And at your current building speed, you will probably have finished it in a couple of weeks

Let me know if you need a sponsor for a part of your project. In exchange for.....let's say.....some (future) building instructions

And if you don't have time to make them, I'm always willing to help out. My old man would love to see a great MOC of the RPA11.

Like I said; I'm looking forward to your project, but take your time. Looks like you have already spent a lot on your MOCs this year.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Thanks Ted,

Sorry i don't make instructions, because i build all mine moc's only whit feeling and look at photo's and sometimes draws and than start building and i am not good whit LDD.

The RPA 11 is one off the most beautyfull ships they have.

Also the Surveyor 1 is nice.

And one off the biggest is the RPA 14& 15 is also nice to build

The one off biggest problems is that lego don't have that dark blue only the normal blue in studles

My father was captain on the RPA11 for years, so that's the best choice hehe

You can use brown instead of blue

Exactly

[Edwin Korstanje]

Best gekke Ted,

I look very good at all the ships from the Port off Rotterdam and i think that the best ship is the RPA 15 too make a good copy from it.

The RPA 11 and 16 have a too diffecault shape too make it in studless

[Jim]

The RPA15 is kind of a flagship, so it's a good choice! And you have a picture of the bottom

[Edwin Korstanje]

Yes Ted the RPa 15 is one of mine best choise.

It's not the biggest,but one off a nice ship and one i can copy quit close.

[Edwin Korstanje]

I placed this weekend some orders to get all the beams and briks to build it, and i think that i can the build RPA 15, also the 11 and 16 is possible, but cost me more liftarms because off the shape off the schip below the wateline.

I tried some differend romps and found some new building styles and when i get mine order in house i let see you some new ships shapes whit studless and it's lot more diffecault like mine Smit bronco.

greets Edwin.

[Jim]

Sounds cool! Looking forward to it.

Really nice to follow this project.
