Wicked Mouse Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Some Dutch Eastindiamen Model of Bossen Hooven ( Source ): Model of Prins Willem (Prince William; Source): "Eastindaman at anchor", drawing by Jan Brandes 1738 (at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam): "Jacob van Strij - Het jacht van de kamer Rotterdam begroet een Oostindiëvaarder."Jacob van Strij (painter) - The yacht of the chamber of Rotterdam greets an Eastindiaman. Judging from these pictures and paintings I think that the paint scheme of the Amsterdam ship at the museum isn't too far off: Personally I'd say that that what is brown painted there, is just blank wood on the originals. Maybe treated with oils to make it last longer. Edited October 3, 2015 by Wicked Mouse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
