Hi Sjors,

I agree with all others that replacement is the best solution. I think otherwise you will have always a different right and left side of the hull.

Hennie

I think you did a great job. Looks beautifull. My SoS (Sergal) didn't arrive todayThey called me yesterday. It will take another 10 days till arrival (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....).

My bronze dolphins standard for my HMS Agamemnon also didnt arrive. Whats wrong with these webshops...? But the guy who called me, promissed me, he would send for FREE: a paint set..... and a glue set .....and a tool set. I almost said to him I would agree with another delay for more free stuff

Hennie

Thank you all for for your very kind words. Feels a bit sad... She kept me busy for over 6 years (with some breaks), but the last 2 years it was a daily job. But........I already ordered my dreamship which I always wanted to build one time: The Sovereign of the Seas (from Mantua/Sergal). When all goes well, this kit will arrive this month and than you are all welcome on my new building log.

Hennie

@Eric,

Thx Eric for your kind words

And finally an update;

I FINISHED MY AGGY!!!!!

She is not on her place yet. I ordered a mahogany shelf and 4 bronze dolphins to put her on. Those things have to come from Italy, so it will take a while. But when she is in het final place, I will take more pictures.

Hennie

You have done a great job Sjors!

Hennie

Looks great Sjors!!

Cant wait till I will start with my own SotS

Hennie

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC JOB

Hennie

Wow, looks if your SoS already was in a seabattle...........

Glad you could fix it.

Hennie

Congratulations Sjors, you did a great job

Finally after 3 years....... She looks great!!

BUT your figurehead is still crying because he wants his spear

And dont forget to put your Chesstrees (138) on the hull.

Oh... before I forget to mention.... I love spagetti, so save some for me

I also started yesterday with the last drawingsheet of my Aggy (I hope I have enough single blocks 3mm). So a few weeks and it will be done.......after 6 years...but I took a few breaks. Only the last 2 years it was a daily job. Will feel like a black hole when I finish her......

But I think I will buy The (Sergal) Sovereign of the Seas next month.

Hennie

No update this sunday. I have to redo some rigging because I am not satisfied how it looks now. I have also to do some repairs. Its almost impossible not damaging something, because there is no room left for my big hands

Hennie

Hi Sjors,

Looks very nice!!

I am a few days behind you now. I will start with my last sheet on monday, maybe already on sunday....

I will update on sunday....

Hennie

Very impressive Anja!

Hennie

Thx Sjors,

And as promissed an update. All (boom)yards are in there place now, so I started with the last piece of rigging. This will take a few month, I guess....

Some pictures...........

Thx Sjors

I am half way with the yards now. The rest of the yards will be easier.

Some pictures..........

Hi Sjors,

I finished the standing rigging some weeks ago. Though it was a lot of work, I didn't have have real problems finishing it. Wondering what problems you have. Waiting for your call

Hennie

Looks great Sjors!

Hennie

@B.E and @Piet

Thank you both :)

A small update....

The first yard (and the biggest one) is in his place. Just like Sjors I used a brass pin to put it on the mast in the first place. When using the ropes to put the yard against the main mast, I will damage the whole thing. I only have two hands, so thats almost impossible. I will use ropes later.

Some pictures....

Hi Sjors,

The Yard Stun Sail Boom Irons have arrived this morning. Thank you very much my friend. An XXXL piece of "Limburgse Vlaai" for you, when you visit me :D :D

Hennie

@Sjors,

Thx Sjors, and yes, I am right behind you now. I am starting with the yards also . 

@Joe,

Thx Joe. Its going fast now.

And a small update....

I finished all the backstays now and - like Sjors- I also start with the yards. But I first have to make them all :)

Some pictures which shows where I am right now.........

Hi Anja,

Great that you started a new build(ingblog).

Poor Sjors, now his netting will never come to an end :D

Many years ago I also build a Spanish Gallion (1607). Just a plastic one, but oke...

I took a picture of it, but with the Agamemnon in the background, it looks a bit poor....

And again a small update.....

All Stays are done.

I will now proceed with the rest of the backstays.

Some pictures..........

@Popeye: thx

@Sjors: You know that you and Anja are more than welcome. I will keep the "Limburgsche vla" ready.

And of course an update:

I finally finished the ratlines.........

Some pictures:

Looks beautifull Sjors !

Glad you started again with your Aggy. Give my regards to Anja!

I am still a few weeks behind you with my Aggy

Hennie

First a happy Newyear to you all and all the best wishes.

@Piet,

Thx Piet, wish you the same and thx for your nice command 

Time for the  next update...

I am already dreaming of ratlines......

Some pictures......

Hi all!

First of all: a very Merry Christmas to you all!!

Second: thx for all the likes and nice commends.

Finally a small update. Because of some circumstances I didn't have much time to work on my Aggy. Still futtock staves and caterpins done.

I also started with the ratlines which will take some weeks.

Some pictures....
