Hello fellow ship builders, I am intending to build the dutch 2nd rate ship of the line, the seven provinces.
Build in 1665, in order of De Witt, she belonged to a big project; the building of 60 new warships for the Dutch fleet. The Dutch needed a larger and stronger fleet because the were at war with England.
The seven provinces (de zeven provinciën) was the flagship of the Dutch admiral, Michiel Adriaenzoon de Ruyter.
she carried 80 cannons and had a crew from around 500-700 men.
In this topic I like to get some inspiration for the building project and some usefull tips to make a big ship like this, since I am new to this ;)
(It is going to be minifig scale ;)
Also please note that my English is worse, and my experience is zero.
Also, if anyone can help me with the pictures on this topic, that would be awesome ;)
Thanks for reading and greetings from the Netherlands,
Admiral Bruls
