    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. 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.........

    Looks great again Sjors! Cant where till I can start the rigging, Your pictures will be a great help at that time I am still busy with the netting. Than I will start with the gunport lids and the ship boats. Hennie

    My methode to fix the "tule", because this material moves everywhere. And several times I cut the the wrong size I have done two nettings now, 5 more to go :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...... Hennie

    Hi all, A small update, I started with the netting.
  5. Hennie
    Hi Elijah, Here in Holland its called TULE. You can buy it in shops or in webshops. Just google 'tule". I hope this is what you mean? Hennie

    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 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 Hennie

    Time again for the next update! All the guns are on there place and the decks are almost finished (for the time being). All the stairs are done. I bought some black "tule" in town today, so I can start netting the railings.

    Hi all, Thx for the likes and your commends @Piet @Elijah, As you can see on the pictures below, the deck is a bit lower at the left side, but its fine with me. And as you can see, from the front its invisible.

    Thx all for the likes :) @Sjors Thx Sjors for your kind words Now with all decks in there place, my Aggy finally gets "body". Will finish the decks first, than I will start with the ship boats. Hennie

    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: Hennie

    Your rigging looks beautifull. And you are going very fast again. So you dont have to worry, that I will pass you :D I am now where you were in march 2015 I will update again this evening. Hennie
  14. Hennie
    Looks BEAUTIFULL!!!!!! When my Aggy will look like yours, I will be very happy..... Hennie
  15. Hennie
    @Elijah and Piet, Thx for your kind words. I am busy now with all these deckparts. Hennie
  16. Hennie
    @Sjors Well Sjors, if you make some more mistakes with the rigging and you have to re-do it all again, I might be.... :D :D @Al, thx all, I do my best Hennie

    Time for the next update. I finished planking. Just oiled the last deck. The wooden parts arround the stairs were difficult. You have only to look at it and it drops apart. Feels like playing with firematches. Wile planking I had to refix these parts about 10 times.... Again some pictures:
  18. Hennie
    Nice Sjors, you are going fast again
  19. Hennie
    Hi Sjors, Tough decision, but I agree with the other plp. When you are not happy with it, do it again. I do the same. Otherwise..... the longer I look at it, I feel more unhappy.
  20. Hennie
    @ Elijah You are right, slow is no problem as long as its going well and it all fits! @Klaas Thx Klaas. Cant wait to see your Aggy. @ John Thx John for your kind words. I do my best and its my biggest hobby. I dont know if its correct English but I put my soul in it if you know what I mean. @ Piet Thx Piet. I try to make as many pictures as possible. I myself follow almost all Aggy buildinglogs. And all these pictures kept me from making the biggest mistakes. And these pictures are also very important because not everything is to find back at the drawing sheets.
  21. Hennie
    Again a small update. Its going slow, but.... its going :D And a few more pictures.......
  22. Hennie
    @ Eric, Thx Eric for your kind commend As promissed some pictures...........
  23. Hennie
    The prow is far done. Now starting with the poopdeck. And what I didn,t expect.... it fitted very well!! :) So I can start with planking again. In a few days I will show some pictures from all the work in the past month. Hennie
  24. Hennie
    Hoi Sjors, I can only say: .....amazing......beautifull....!!!! I hope my Aggy can stay in the shadow of your ship! Than I already would be satisfied. And thx for all the nice pictures. Keeps me from making to many mistakes Hennie
  25. Hennie
    @ Sjors, Eehh... you are joking?....... 250km drive.... Building Aggy means also PATIENCE Hennie
