Dutch built coasters
« on: February 08, 2014, 10:29:31 AM »
Has anybody got any information on sources of kits or plans for a model of a traditional Dutch built coaster of the 1950's and 60's. There were hundreds of these ships built and they have such wonderful lines and features (e.g. the wooden wheelhouses) . I  would very much like to build a model of one but cannot find any sources of information.

Enough torque to restart a dead planet! OOW with an unlimited CoC looking for work. :)

Pieter C,

Thank you very much for this, the MV Citadel looks really great, exactly what I was looking for. I will contact the shops to ask about the price and delivery to England. I hope they speak English because I don't speak Dutch!! Sorry.

Alan, I built this model from a kit obtainable here:   http://www.langley-models.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Boats__Ships__Artitec___Langley__35.html
Page down almost to the bottom of the page and you'll find the Noorborg.
It is a bit pricey but builds in to an attractive example of the many little Dutch coasters I remember so well at Poole in the 1960's. If you search on line for "Noorborg" you find a wealth of information.
