Thank you very much all of you !!!!!!!!! I don't know what to say..... I 'm just saying.......THANK YOU !!!!!! I will replay on a few answers, First she is gonna go in a display but when ? When I buy one it cost me about 800 Euro's and that's to expensive ! So I have to take a look at plexiglass. The Aggy is still in the box and she stay there till the first of January. I think it's a nice date to start on her. In the mean while back to the SI. Shrouds and ....yep, ratlines ....again ! -
The final update! This is the end of the build of the 'Le Mirage' by Corel. I know that there are a few mistakes here and there, but that is ok and I have learned from it. She gave me a lot of problems and at some point I wanted to quit. But thanks to the individual support of Anja, Mobbsie, Augie and all of you who followed me on this journey, she is now finished and ready for her maiden voyage. Again I want to thank you all for your invaluable support, friendship, feedback, good words and likes you give me along the way. I will now continue my build of the ' San Ildefonso' and I hope to see you there to accompany me.

Hi Sherry, You read it right ! The Le Mirage is finished..... When I tell Anja about it when she phoned me from her work , she wants to take the pictures... So tomorrow afternoon she will makes them and I will post them. I hope you can sleep tonight while you are waiting.....

Hi Mick, You are not caulking the deck ? I think it looks more for real when you are doing that. When your ribs allowed it to you, do some caulking....

Hi Popeye, I'm still following you. How many builds have you on the table now? 6 or 7 ? And you don't mess up with stuff that you need for one build and using for an other ? You are confusing me....
-
Hi Rich, The things you are using is called I believe a cable shoe. We use them to nail a cable on the wall or at the floor. You find a nice other way to use them. Like the idea !
-
Hi Grant, No, I have not take Mobbsie's mojo. I find it myself.... I just want to finished her, that's it. But thanks for the kind words.
-
Thank you all..... @ Mick, Read the answer of Adriaan. It's the Le mirage where I can not found any information on the Internet. @ Ferit, Glad to see you again. How are you? Holidays are over and can we see a little bit more of your amazing work ?
-
Hi Sherry, Thanks. The bowsprit is for me also a learning thing. We will see where it ends.....
-
Thanks Sam, When Le Mirage is finished, I go further on the San Ildefonso and on the first of January I will start at the Agamemnon. She's under my workbench at the moment. I don't know if that crows nest on the bow a period construction detail is. Maybe someone else knows it. And don't forget, maybe it's not a real ship. I can found nothing at all on the internet about her.
-
Thanks Mick, I'm a long way from being good but I'm learning.... I have take a look at your plans and I don't see any problem. The only thing that I want to say to you is this. When you are attaching the lanyards, don't tie them off yet till you finished the rigging. There is a little stretch in the rope and make your lanyards looser. When they are still loose, you can tie them up a little.
-
Hi Lawrence, Thank you. I just want to finish her and go on with the San Ildefonso. Mobbsie has made me a serving machine and I can not wait to use that. I make a trial piece and it work just excellent ! One day you are also at that stage and will do a great job ! @ Thanks Graig !
-
The fore mast is also done with all the 3 yards and the running rigging of the whole model...... Now I can go to the bowsprit and do some more ratlines. Then the last rigging .
-
Nice planking job Adriaan. OcCre always give a lot of spare planks. From my other kits, from the spare planks I can build almost an other ship....
-
I try to understand what everyone is saying about a garboard plank. I understand that it is the plank that goes to the keel. But how do you measure that and when do you place him ?
-
Hi Patrick, Very nice paint job on the guns. And the carriages nice and straight at one line ! And you are so right. Why rigging al the guns at the lower deck when you cover them later on. I'm with you that you don't do it !
-
Sam? Take a look at one of the pictures from my San Ildefonso. On the bow you see them.....
-
Hi Mike, Thanks ! When you paint the hull is that means also the inner planking and all that stuff? So not only the hull but all the wood parts. You seal the hull first with....Polyurethane ( have to look how you wrote it ) When I buy the Aggy, I also have bought the Admiralty paint. It was cheaper to do it together then alone the Aggy. I hope I can start on her at the first of January. I'm looking forward to it!
-
Hi Larry, Welcome back and I'm happy that you are posting again. I'm sorry that I can not help you with your issue. But planking looks great !
-
That looks great Bob. It's almost a shame that you copper such smooth hull.
-
Hi Mike, I didn't know that those beams are calling skits.... Learn something again ! Are you using Admiralty paint ? I have the Aggy in a box under my workbench and I want to start building at the first of January. I try to catch as much information what I can and following all the aggy logs on this and other forums. If my Aggy turns out half as good as yours I'm a happy camper !
