De map of the ports of Amsterdam is almost ready after three weeks of hard work. Here a first glimpse.

And a lot more drawings, since the total is going to 80, here just a selection. A question; the white building with the blue stripes is what?
And for the other buildings, it is a quiz! Send in the what the other buildings are. A special copy of the map, signed by all members of the team is the prize for the one with the highest score!!

More drawings for the Seaports of Amsterdam project. With the clock: student housed in containers, the Maritime Museum, luxury houses in former storage buildings, NEMO, The Passengers Terminal Amsterdam and one of many different ferries.

A nice drawing but too much detail.

For a bird view drawing of the central station this picture will do.

The final size (100 x 35 cm) and cut out is decided. It will show all harbors between IJmuiden and the Y.
Now we can start the work by going around the harbors shooting pictures of all the landmarks, important buildings and other objects (boats etc.) and collecting background information on companies and activities. The first sketch (below) is placed in this overview.

A test

A first test of a part of the harbor, to see how the scale works out.
