Excellent work Ray The more I see your progress, the more it itches me to resume my shipbuilding activites. I'm really looking forward to this as the move to our new house is scheduled the next months

Hello Anja, hope this helps : when you activate the link, somewhere in the right corner inside the tumblr-screen, there's a search option. There you can fill in the following term : diana1794. By doing so, you'll (hopefully) have access to the pics Thanks for showing interest. About the house : everyone who moves knows the feeling, I guess. What huge amounts of useless stuff we all gather in our cellars and atticks ! It's just horrible :D Kind regards to you both (You & Sjors of course)

Hi All, Here's an attempt to recover some missing pics : www.tumblr.com/blog/diana1794 For the rest : very little progress, or dare I say no progress at all. But I have great expectations for the future. I've made my mind up. In our fututre home, the attic wil suit just fine : plenty of space ; some 20 square meters !!

Hi Mort, Many thanks. I hope to resume shipbuilding activities as soon as possible, but life is getting a bit in the way, lately. But there's (always) a positive aspect : Soon I'll post in the "general discussion-area" a pic of the room specially dedicated to shipbuilding. : 10 square meters and and not many tools yet, but I'll have to start somewhere.

Hi Ulises, I second all congrats hereabove. The added sails & treenals on the hull add even more value to your masterpiece.
-
Hi WBlakeny, what a nice project You can count me in too. I'm also curious regarding the tools you have at your disposal.
-
That is high praise, Doris As many MSW - members , I sincerely wish I had a half of your talent. Then I would be a twice as happy shipbuilder !

Hi Ulises, I'll try to resolve the photoproblem this week-end Related to your flags question, well here's the story : I used hairspray. It was very easy to find as my mother was a hairdresser. So I wrapped the flags in the most suited form and sprinkled them. So it's better to procede outside and yes, it was a bit "messy" on my fingers. Anyway my Vasa flags -especially the one on the stern- kept this "windblowing" shape ever since. Hope this helps you
-
You're welcome (as always), Sjors This might take a while. In the worst case I can still post some pics representing it's present status. Hope you don't mind

Hallo Klaas, I'm afraid, you had to dig rather deep to come across my log as it's been a while since my last update. It is a worn out cliché but life is getting a bit in the way as Mrs and Mr Barbossa's bulding project is reaching it's final stage. As a consequence : some painting work, installation of a kitchen and of course a move is laying ahead of us, therefore very little time for shipbuilding and when it occurs...well, for the time being I'm struggling a bit with the lifeboats. It is not really my cup of tea but it's just another of those essential details and this project does not increase the size of the whole ship as it is and I wish to avoid any accident while moving from our old house to our new build. Regarding the pics : lately, I noticed other members experienced the same. The more is : I visited my own log a just few weeks ago and then everything seemed OK. Strange.... However : Congrats with your Aggy : this is really huge and your doing a fantastic job !

Hi Pierre, To mention mobbsie, it's good you're back in the shipbuilding business. I sincerely wish I could do the same. It is a good thing to emphasize on the complexity of the stern & quarterdeck galleries. All these parts are related one to another. Being just a frigate, I've suffered enough on my Diana... -
Nice work Sjors. How did you proceed for ther treenails ?

Hi Mark Sad news indeed. However as you mentioned it is still a hobby. Perhaps -only for a while- take some distance from it and depending from your persoonal taste enjoy a few good beers or a glass of wine, make a stroll,.... and very soon we'll be following the Licorne version 2.0 buildlog. Take care !
-
Hi Aldo It is only now I came across your buildlog, my sincere congrats and admiration for your first attempt to join what is called the "dark side". When, I don't know, but by following your buildlog , hopefully I'll find the courage to join you over there. Keep up the good work !

Hi, I'm sure you'll recover this. A very nice ship and I like the color scheme. I must admit I'm a bit jalous : I wish I had such a nice & clean workspace -
Nice to hear from you. Together with the rigging are you planning to add (furled) sails ?
-
Hi Ray, as others already mentioned , I'm sure you will recover this. It appears that shipbuilding is sometimes more related with real life than one should expect. More than once I experienced at my own expence to oversee the obvious by focusing too much on details. Bon courage and take care !

Nicely done Ray, I proceeded more or less the same way, but you were more wise than me as you fixed the 2*1 mm strip AFTER the job done, so your knots are entirely hidden and mine were partially as they went behind the dead eye strop.
-
It's always good to hear from you, Ray Regarding the channels, it is wise to take the necessary precautions. Excellent work. Starting from the channelplates, for uniformity sake, I let them go more perpendicular downwards as coming from the mizzen mast the channel assembly became a bit narrow due to the presence of the gunport lids. And of course : good health and lot of shipbuilding fun for 2014.

Nice work Pierre, Merry X-mas and a happy (shipbuilding) year 2014 ! I'm always looking forward to your updates. -
Many thanks Mobsie & Sjors for the comments and all the likes during this build, this was all very supportive. I really appreciate. Next move is related to the lifeboats and the study of the masting & rigging. However, at the third page of this log there's a totally "off topic pic" but our new home project will require far more attention the next months to come so updates related to my Diana are to be expected but it just might take a little while.

Thank you for visiting my log Saloir, much appreciated Hi BE, In a way of speaking it is your Pegasus buildlog that is a motivator for me trying to improve myself, and I'm sure many MSW -members share that opinion. And just calling it a buildlog is doing you injustice as to me it is more a tutorial entitled" How do I get the most out of a kit". So I try to follow your fine example.
