Thank you Mobbsie and Kevin for your kind words. To Anja and Sjors I would like to return the favour as I understand that tomorrow is a special day for every Dutchman. And I hope you will enjoy tomorrow day as much as I did today. If whether or not you will sing along the "Koningslied" , well... I'd rather not go into that debate. Regarding my Diana : it is a huge cliché but life is getting a bit in the way lately but I hope to resume my activities very soon. -
Hi Andy, thanks for showing interest. Illness (nowadays the "Flu" has epidemic proportions ) witholds me from resuming my build, hope to be back very soon.

Hi Ray, I'm confident you'll get plenty of satisfaction & fun out of this kit. As your previous build is already on the shelf, I must admit that building instructions are -in my opinion- a bit "antique" compared to HMS Pegasus explanations, but there's nothing you can't handle. Just one thing : the only serious "roadblock" I encountered is the position of transom supports : please pay attention that you don't fix them too high. By consequence, you might end up with quarterdeck galleries that are too high and some decoration rails that need to be fixed just above the same quarterdeckgallery just not might fit.

Hi Aldo, it took lots of measuring, comparing, checking,...and only gluing/fixing when I was 100% satisfied and obtained the expected result. With this open bulwark thing, I took a bit of a gamble, but the endresult made it all worthwile. Let's hope the best for the rigging stuff, hmmm......

Hi Tim & Aldo : thanks for your appreciation Another thing that depends of your appreciation are the (relevant) pics I managed to recover, there's about 40 pics. I must admit that it is less than I expected. But the open bulwark thing is amongst them, so that was the good news

Likewise Mort, All accessoires came from Cornwall-Boats, they have figurines in different scales but within the 1/64 scale you have 2 possibilities : -1 set of 6 Amati figurines - 6 individual figurines I guess 12 sailors should suffice to bring your Snake "to live" Andy, The most recent ones can be recovered, I'll see what I can do

Thanks, Joe & Sjors It's good to be in touch again with all you fine people. Still have to find my way, but I like this new edition . (Hi Andy, also trying to put you on my friends list) My stern is desperate for at least one lamp, tried to make it from scratch but there I encountered my own limitations, I'm afraid. So aside from some extra canons, I ordered for some figurines and also a set of lamps.

Hi All, Only when I encountered some difficulty while trying to login, I realised what happened last week. By re-signing in I'd like to support and express my respect & gratitude to all Adminitors who are putting lots of effort and commitment into this site. Some data are lost but worse thing may happen in life, I guess. Anyway, here's my actual status : As I chose for an open bulwark build, one of the consequences was that I had to adapt the dimensions of the gunports at the quartedeck. Meaning : now they are all the same and the only carronades left are the ones at the foremost position. Therefore I ordered for some extra 9lb guns which I intend to fully rigg. Greetings to you all Christian
