Time for the next update. I am not totally satisfied with the deck in front. Its not exactly "horizontal", but it will have to do, cant change it anymore. Happy that its almost invinsible and it doesnt matter for the rest of the build. I am satisfied with the rest of the building progress.

Well, I am not a pro like Sjors, but it will do, and whats more important: I enjoy it very much.

Here some photos of the progress from the last 14 days:

That looks amazing Hennie !

 

When I take a look at the paint job on the hull ( yellow ) then YOU are the pro, not me !!!!

But I enjoy my build also and that's the most important thing !

Keep on going like this

Very well done Hennie.

You are placing the netting al ready ?

I wait till the end with that because I'm worried that i will break it down all the time when I go over it with my arms.

Hi Sjors,

 

Its just a choice. When I wait till the end, I have to do the drilling and the netting behind all the ropes, which will not be easy at all. The netting is a very precise work. Besides..... I already found out that these railingpins are really strong and not easily bent :D :D :D :D

I have just to be a bit  more carefull. As you can see on the pictures I removed the wooden peaces arround the stairs on the poopdeck, because I destroyed them at least ten times..... Will replace them at the end ;)

I look forward to your netting! How is that stuff made? The netting that is. I've always been curious about that.

My methode to fix the "tule", because this material moves everywhere. And several times I cut the the wrong size :angry:

 

I have done two nettings now, 5 more to go :D :D :D

I am glad I didn't do this netting at the end. Sjors, I wish you luck with your netting ;)

I had no ropes in my way and I won't repeat here what I all said during these two nettings......

Again a small update:

 

I am glad I finished the netting. This material is horrible to work with. Some parts I had to do again, because it didnt fit. :angry:

Specially the netting on the top deck was difficult, because the sizes at the beginning and at the end are different.

But after all, I am quit satisfied how it looks now.

Some pictures.........

I just started with the outer hull ladders, the fenders and the chesstrees.

After I finished that, I with start with the catheads.

And when all goes well, I can start next week with the gunport lids.....

 

But it didnt go well ..............

 

When I counted the lids, I saw I had 4 lids less.........or......................nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Studying the drawings again, I discovered, I prepared too many gunports for lids (poopdeck) :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Two on each side...

Well, as we say.....**** happens!!

I will have to repare that and hoping it will not be visible...........

I am glad I didnt use the brass strips, and I made these strips of wood. Now I can remove them and repair the gunports........

Feel your pain Hennie, think that the paint will be able to completely hide the fix.
