  1. Hi Volker, I build a few OcCre kits and I'm very pleased how they bring it. You will see on the way at the build that it comes clear to you. Not every manual is perfect ! I will follow you and if you have any question, just ask ! If I can not help you, there is always one who can. Enjoy the build !
  2. After my " little" vacation an update. I know that the rigging is not as it should be. The rigging goes anywhere and nowhere. The rigging plans of this model is terrible ! They only say , there goes that but where? You can find it out your self. I told it before but I say it again. Le Mirage is for me a training ship. I'm learning from this and hopefully I can do a better job on the San Ildefonso.
  3. Great job on the 50 % of the planking ! That looks just great ! I'll send you my Aggy and you can do the same thing for me
  4. That looks fabulous Grant ! I know how the blocks are looking in real live THANKS !!!! PM is on the way !
  5. Congrats Ben, That a nice piece of ART you've got there. And I like the case...... I can read between the lines that you love to build it !
  6. Very nice Adriaan ! So I'm not the only one who breaks the dowel..... I think that we not support the other part of the dowel, and that's the reason that it breaks. The dowel can make funny turns and that's not good for the wood Then you have two dowels.... But I will find a solution for that...maybe a jig ?
  7. Nice start of the planking Adriaan ! Planking done at Christmas ? I have sent Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet your name and tell them that you are a good boy. So maybe he will find you
  8. I'm away for a few days and no pictures yet ????? What's going on here !!!!! Where is that PICTURE police ! Arrest that man !
  9. Hi Randy, You want her finished before Christmas ?????? It looks great ! What Shaz is saying, is not a bad idea at all ! Try it out and I hear from you if it works
  10. Great job Adam ! You paint job is just like a real piece of art ! Very nice ! The stain comes out very well. Nice contrast with the white hull !
  11. That guitar looks great ! Now play something on it, makes a video of it and post it on you tube ! I want to hear how it sounds ! An Eammon is right...there are no bad photos but that other thing So please one more picture from the guitar with your Admiral, only a little bit back so we can see both !
  12. Hi Mick, Before you are using the paint brush, give the hull first a layer of ground paint ( If that's the right word for it ) Then you see every imperfections...... It not looks that bad at all ! Can wait till the hull is finished but I'll have to wait......
  13. Two likes for Augie @ Edwin, Thanks How are things going with you ? Regards from the Moderator Admiral and say Hi to your wife.....
  14. Hi Matt, That looks very good. That plywood, try to give it a stain... Try is first on a scrap peach, then you can see how it turn out. OcCre has that with all his builds. They like I think ?
  15. Hi Jason, I know, I'm a man who love to gives other person pressure When I'm finished the Le Mirage I get started at the Aggy but that can still take time . There is a lot to do on the Le Mirage. Do you have any idea when you are finishing the Snake ? I'll send you a PM
