Hello Zyxuz,

I hope you had a good time.

Back at 3:30 and Island hopping at 6:30 again.

That is not much sleep you've had.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture of Koh NangYuen.

That is indeed an awesome view.

I'm looking forward to your build.

Hello Jan,

I stand corrected. Thank you for the right explanation.

Anja

Hello Per,

Welcome back. It's good to hear you are well.

I'm glad you found a new house.

I hope your new home will always be to small to hold all your friends.

Good luck with the move.

Anja

Hello Adriaan,

I'm looking forward to see the lights being turned on.

And I hope you feel better. Are your hands any better yet?

PS - Sjors was a bit worried about you. I just told him how he could see whether you were last active on the forum.

Big Brother friend is watching you

Take care,

Hello Nigel,

Great job on reassembling the stern.

It looks fantastic. Well done.

Take care,

Hello Jan,

Nice progress. It's looking good.

The mountain strip is called the chain plate.

Anja

Looking good Alex!

Hello Commodore,

The HMS Peregrine is a beautiful ship to build.

Have you cut the rabbet line yet?

If not, maybe you can have a look in the articles/download section.

The rabbet and bearding line are explained on page 4 http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf

You already learned the most important thing when it comes to model building, patience.

Just take your time with the build and enjoy it.

You are off to a good start and I am looking forward to your progress.

Take care,

Anja

Wow Barbossa, building your own house.

I'm sure it will be a beautiful home when it's finished.

Will keep my fingers crossed for a good result.

Take care,

Anja

Hello Christian,

Welcome back, you have been missed.

This is indeed a very beautiful build. As for your question .....

I’d like to dedicate this the last pic : it is puzzling my mind since a long time but what about adding a small blue strip to both curved rails (upper and lower) on the bow section . Someone any thoughts or ideas on this ?

Take care,

Anja

PS - how did your exam go?

Hello Alex,

I'm glad the saw works. The strips are looking good.

I am uncertain how to glue the second layer to the hull without having problems with excess glue getting on top of the strips. I need them clean for staining. I was thinking of applying a thin layer of CA on the hull with a paintbrush, let it dry a bit, then wet the veneer strip, position it and use a flatiron to make it stick. I have no idea how the CA will react. Ideas are welcome!

But putting a thin layer of glue on the hull instead of on the strip is a good idea.

That will surely prevent the glue from getting on top of the strips.

Good luck.

Anja

Hello Joe,

You are welcome.

It's good to hear you are well.

Regards,

Anja

Hello Aldo,

Thank for stopping by my friend.

Your kind words are much appreciated.

I like the headpanels too, they turned out great.

I didn't made much progress lately, but the hull is stained. It is not quite what I expected.

On the small pieces of scrap wood it turned out good, but it didn't came out that way on the hull.

For now it looks ok. I let it rest and decide later if it needs another layer of stain.

Take care,

Anja

Hello Prodas,

Have a great day.

Anja

Hello Gary,

Happy birtday

Have a wonderful day.

Anja

Hello Joe,

You haven't posted for a while.

I know life is not just occupied by modeling only, we have family, friends, work, etc.

How are you doing? Are you well?

I hope you will be able to get back at your build soon.

Take care,

Anja

Hello Sherry,

Wow, your cabine furniture is awsome.

Great job! I love it.

Take care,

Anja

Hello Mobbsie,

Wonderful job!

And a big cheer for you

But do be careful with all those sharp tools my friend. Otherwise you force me to buy a children's toolbox for you. That way you won't hurt yourself.

Take care,

Anja

Hello Augie,

Everything has been said already, but I wholeheartedly agree with everyone.

You won't be lineless, how else are going to catch any fish.

Enjoy the fishing.

Take care,

Anja

Hello ZyXuz,

I must agree with Mike. It looks neat.

But if you're not happy with it .... Maybe you will see it differently when you come back after your cooling down.

Go and enjoy your vacation first and have fun at the party.

Try to take some photos of the moon if it's possible.

Take care,

Anja
