HMS Sovereign of the Seas by Sjors - DeAgostini - 1:84


Recommended Posts

That deck planking looks very nice and very clean. Good job so far my friend, as expected.  :cheers: Cheers

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Thanks again.

 

@ E.J.

 

The second planking for the upper hull is much better.

I have take a look again but there is no second planking under the waterline or have I missed something ????????

It's no big deal because it's gonna be painted.

 

@ Martyn,

 

It's not that bad to work with it.

I just put a few planck's in the water for bending around the bow and it goes so smoothly !

If that was not working ,I still have planck's left from the Aggy.

But so far so good.

The only thing is that I have to pre-drill de holes for the nails otherwise the wood is splitting.

A little more work but with a great result.

 

Then the update.

 

I have planked the stern.

It looks like a porcupine  :D  :D

When the glue is dry I will remove the nails and sanding the planks smooth and in shape.

Then I can plank the hull totally !

Wow,

 

Thank you very much for the birthday wishes.........

 

You know, I went to sleep  as a young men and wake up as a oldtimer..... :P  :P

But again Thanks !!!!!!!!!!

 

@ Bob,

 

She will be on hold for a while so the Aggy will be finished before she is  :D  :D

 

@ Hennie,

 

We will see you tomorrow .

Please with coffee and vlaai  :D  :D  :D

 

Then an update who is not totally an update but more a demolition.

Yep, again !!!!!

I was planking with the bamboo and that's was not fun to work with.

There are so many bad parts in each of the planks that I need a pound of filler to get that straight !

So ,it was demolition time.

I remove all of it and start all over again with planks that I had left from the first planking of the Aggy.

I'm happy that I save that !!!!!!!

The lower part of the hull are gonna be the planks from the Aggy and above that ( see the pictures ) I'll be using the bamboo planks.

I cut all the bad parts away and use the good parts that there was left.

And that works a lot better !

I know there must be a lot of sanding but that's no problem.....

On sunday or monday I will sand the parts that is done.

Then I can see what to do further.

Tomorrow ( saturday ) we are going to Hennie to see what he is doing with his Aggy.

Whe n I have another update I will report it.

 

Before I forget, there is also a launch at the SotS.

A few pictures of how it looks also.

Hiya Sjors.

 

I see the bamboo-issue is rearing it's ugly head again with this one from Deag. Still, great that you have enough alternatives to plank with. But if you think it's bad now, wait till it comes to the cutting the gunports :o

 

Enjoy :)

@ Black Viking,

 

Thanks for the birthday wishes  :D  :D

I still have a lot of bamboo but I don't use it anymore.

I'm lying.......I'm using it to start a fire at the fireplace !!!!!!!! :D

Hennie give me his left over from his Aggy so I can close the hull now  :D

 

@ Dominic,

 

Have you ever see the SotS without gun ports ????

Take a good look when it is now working with this one  :P  :P

 

@ Hennie,

 

Thanks for an wonderful afternoon !!!

And I have to say, that dog of yours ( Sansa ) is the sweetest dog I ever see !

When you are coming to our house, take her with you and you can go home without her  :D  :D  :D

Thanks for the tips and netting and the wood !

We are hoping to see you soon at our place.

 

Anja & Sjors

I have done a little.

I have finished the woodwork ( almost ) for the launch.

It's a good thing to practice because I need 4 of those for the Aggy.

There must be some minor sanding and painting.

But there are a few other things that I have to work on to the launch.

When the paint is on you will see an update of the launch.

In the mean I'm still planking the hull.

 

When I came in to the room with the launch to show Anja what i have done I've got these words from her.....

" I thought that the Agamemnon  was bigger ??????"

How about that !!!!!!

Or in Dutch......Pfffffffffffff

Well done Sjors, that is some thin planking, I can see light through them.

 

 I was going to make a play on words with Anjas comment, but, this is a family site and she is a moderator:

 

When I came in to the room with the launch to show Anja what i have done I've got these words from her.....

" I thought that the Agamemnon  was bigger ??????" ;) :huh: :o
