    Update time, I have glue the frames. Also the support on the bow and sten. Then the lower gun deck and the support for the false canons Also removed a part of the upper support. between frame 9 and 10. My first thought was ....strange. It cost a lot of problems to get that support into the slots and the I have to remove a part. But, Horatio Nelson needs a way to get on board on a easy way. So it's not the entrance. Enough talking, time for pictures! Sjors

    Hello all, And yes, another Victory build! Welcome all. My apologies to Amati, but I couldn't wait any longer for their Victory. So I ordered the Caldercraft / Jotika instead as a present to myself on the occasion on my upcoming 40th work anniversary in August. And boy, she is big and heavy. A box filled with 15 kilo's (33 lb) of all kinds of goodies.

    Hi mike, I don't know if the tape hold. It's for me also the fist time. Time will tell. In a few weeks I will order the Victory and it will take some time to get to those copper plates. When they are still on the Snake I will take the change. Tell the Admiral that you NEED that lathe for tapering the mast and the chop saw for straight planks 🙂 I have buy every month a tool. So it was going with not much financial problems. Because I'm home I do a little bit more on the Snake. But I prefer my job. Monday and Tuesday I will ride a few hours with co-worker. Just for two hours to see how it is going Wednesday I have a health examination for my work. I hope I will get that otherwise I'm not a bus driver anymore............. Enjoy your weekend. Sjors

    Mike_H, First the copper plating of the rudder. The first picture you see the under layer of te tape and above it the layer with the paper still on it. The second picture you see the copper plates. Easy to work with. Then the lathe. You see the extension bed and the total length of the lathe with the extension bed. I mond the bed is difficult to get but mine was bought in the UK. Don't ask me where because it was a gift from Mobbsie.(also a member of MSW) More questions then just ask. Sjors

    Hi Denis, Thank for the good words. We have both the first shot and wait for the second one. Anja is working from home and i don’t work for 4 months now. I have colitis ulcerosa....nasty disease but i can live with it. Sjors

    Thanks Mike, Yes I apply it to the hull, then take off a part of the paper and lay down a tile. I will show it to you tomorrow when I'm doing the rudder. All my tools are Proxxon. There are 4 things that I use the most of the time. That's the lathe 250DB for tapering the masts. The disc sander. The mini table circular saw And the bench drill with the Micromot 20 150 cross table. And for the lathe ,see if you can find the extension. I will post a picture of that tomorrow. Sjors

    I 'm not that fast Mike 🙂 Coppering of the hull is done! The starboard side is with glue en the port side with double-sided tape. And that works just great! No glue on the tiles. No glue on the fingers....... Sjors

    Thanks for the likes. Deck is planked and have the first coat of Danish oil. Bulwarks are painted in the colors by Mike_H 🙂 Make the waterline and place also a plank so I know where I can put the copperplates. Sjors
  19. Sjors
    Go on Mike 🙂 Great example for me. I also make a copy of that yellow and black on the bulwarks.( if you don't mind ) Just love it! Sjors

    Hi Mike, I indeed mean the waterline batten. You see that you know what I mean? And yes,I know a few languages, English, German ,French and Dutch ( of course) And Delft is not that far away. I've bin there hundreds of times. When I was working for Connexxion (bus company) I was working in Delft. So I think you know the city lines 60,61,62,64. I have drive them all for 6 years form 2002 till 2008. And next time when you are riding your bike and passing Bleiswijk, ring the bell and there will be coffee 🙂 Sjors

    What a great build! Sjors

    Mike, What a great job you are doing! That coppering looks fantastic. I hope I can do it the same. What are you using to separate the paint with the copperplates? Sjors
  23. Sjors
    Thanks Mike, I will slow down 🙂 At the moment I can take a look with wat you are doing en make a copy of that . So please hurry !!!! 😄

    And a little update again..... Thank for the likes and the visiting. Second planking done and after a few hours of sanding I'm happy how she is. It is so smooth the I can not trust my fingers 🙂 On the picture it looks otherwise but that's the light I believe. I have now a good underground for the paint nd the copper plaates. But first the inner bulwark and deck planking. Sjors
