And the popcorn an drinks are going around Nice !!!!!!! @ Robbyn, Glad you find it and Sherry thanks for getting Robbyn over here. @ Ferit, I see you change your nickname? why ? @ Bug, Be a man and order that ship and have fun with it ! Just what I have !!!!!!!!!! @ Mark, I think you make a typing fault...... I think it should be 3014 instead of 2014 ???? correct ????? When the middle deck is planked I think I go back to the San Ildefonso and do some rigging...... I want to switch between those two. And for the rest of my friends.....THANKS !!!!!!!

Ferit Posted January 12, 2014 Share #127 Posted January 12, 2014 Hi Sjors, Somehow I couldn't begin to work on my Berlin, the ship has been lost to sight from the horison... I like the phonetics of the Latin language. Alpha Ursae Minoris (commonly North Star, Northern Star or Pole Star) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is very close to the north celestial pole, making it the current northern pole star. When navigating in the northern hemisphere, it's the touchstone for the navigation... Maybe I'll find my way... I know it's somewhat childish but I love this...

Moonbug Posted January 12, 2014 Share #130 Posted January 12, 2014 Hah Sjors! Easier said than done. My lovely wife now insists that I have to have a plan for what to do with the completed ship before I can start it. And I still owe her the Artesania Latina stagecoach that she got for Christmas last year. I might just go the route of the "double build" soon though like many of you guys. -Bug Quote - Bug Current Build: HMS Pegasus - Victory Models Completed Builds - Augie's USF Confederacy AL Santa Maria - Heavily Bashed AL San Juan Nepomuceno AL Swift Pilot Boat Cris Craft AL Stagecoach Ship Blog - The Lehman Shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted January 12, 2014 Share #131 Posted January 12, 2014 No, no, no. Sure, you need to know exactly where the ship will go before you start it. But that does not mean that you need to share that information immediately. You have 2 years to work on it. Jewelery, a new car or perhaps a long-awaited vacation can come in handy here....especially when you begin moving the dining room table into the garage to make space for your masterpiece. Dual build with a stagecoach. Why not?

Sjors Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share #138 Posted January 30, 2014 Update time ! The middle deck has his planking..... With ( for the first time ) the tree nailing...... I also plank the bow deck. That's it for the moment. She goes on the shelf and the San Ildefonso is coming down again. When the main mast has his shrouds and ratlines, I'll be back to the Aggy again. popeye the sailor, riverboat, maddog33 and 17 others 20 Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

Sjors Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share #146 Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you all. Now it is time to answer a few questions...... @ Jim, I'm always in action. Is it not with the SI then it is with the Aggy And how about you ? @ Patrick, I just love the juggling ! I didn't know about the ham and eggs but I like it @ Augie, It is tanyanika wood. But I have put a layer of yacht varnish and then a layer of dull varnish over it as a second layer so you see the grain of the wood but not the shine...... And it is a lot of planking ! Cost me almost 2 weeks to do that. I think it cost me 6 months to plank the hull @ Christian, I drill holes with a drill of 0.7 mm. Then I use filler ( Maranti ) A little sanding and after that yacht varnish over it so you see clearly the nails. It's a lot of work but I think it works. Some are using toothpicks and I doing it this way..... @ Frank, Not answering a question from you but how are you ? And how is the Supply ?
