  1. So Mark, This is what you are doing when you are retired....... And I'm not calling you old ! ( maybe Senior ) Looks great and what happened when I dig out one of those crosses ? Normally there is a treasure behind it...( at least at some maps... ) And you know how you can make me happy...PICTURES !!!!
  2. Hi Jason, If I understand it right, your next build will be the Aggy ?????? I think you know it all ready, but my Aggy is under the workbench...... I want to started at her when I finished the Le Mirage. So maybe we can build her at the same time? It takes a while before I get started so.... I should be cool to do it together. Let me know what you think about it ! And we can support you but you have to do it your self and you are doing a great job ! You can handle the Aggy !!!!!!
  3. Thanks Mobbsie, Now I know how to use that thing
  4. I see nice planking and smoke signals Wait a minute....those smoke signals are telling me that there are a few nice planks !!!!!!! Well done Larry !
  5. Hi Charley, Permission to come on board ????? I see there is still room at the balcony, so if you don't mind, I'll teak a seat there. You have a great example at some other builds of the Syren. So enjoy and I will follow you at the build.
  6. @ Grant, I'am at that part !!!!!! I have to go to the main mast but.....not sooner then tuesday Work, work, work. And of course making preparations for the visit next week from Mobbsie and his Admiral. They want to taste the Dutch food for 4 days And he needs some stuff that i buy at his request ! @ Lawrence, No sorry please !! I know that it is confusing to see on what log you are looking. That's why some ( older ) builders needs a scorecard..... I think in a few weeks they are going to a bookmaker to see if they are right when they are looking at on build and say that the look to another build. Do you still understand that? I'm not anymore...... Thanks for the good word about the rigging. It is not going as I wanted to but....I have to deal with it how it looks at the moment. I told Anja that I only take pictures from a distance @ Sam, Welcome back at your second home called MSW I'm changing all the time between the two builds. I love to do that ! But now I want to finish the Mirage before I go back to the San Ildefonso and rigging her.... And then I can also start the Aggy... Yep, she is still in the box and yelling at me !!!! Just like the Syren from Shaz The struggles you have, you can handle it ! I have faith in you !!!!!!! @ Robbyn, Thank you And yes, everything that I put on now, it looks if she wants to sail..... If not, I help her with that !!!!
  7. Wow Mick, That's a box you've got there ! Perhaps Santa is coming our way ???? ( Anja,read this please )
  8. Hi Matt, I'm just dropping in. You did a very good job at your planking ! That looks marvellous !!!! What are the sizes of the model? Maybe you have named it before and I missed that, in that case, sorry..... I will crab a seat and will follow you further.
  9. Hi Sherry, Welcome back at the ship yard ! I want to say more but Anja say it already so.....the same from me . But your build is a beauty !!!!!!!!
  10. Hi Popeye, I'm glad that i have a Moderator in the house who tells me where I have to look I see that Wayne has bring the popcorn car so I just take a seat and watch this all growing ! Enjoy my friend and I'm enjoy to
  11. Thank you Wayne And thank you Popeye . And that 10 AAA means I passed the test ????? @ Andy, Also thanks and you are welcome about the PM.
  12. Guys, It is very easy ! Where the most replays are and the most pages is the Le Mirage ! But I can not blame you two.....age..... ( hide and seek ) For the change a few pictures. The mizzen mast is finished what concern the rigging ! I don't know it anymore where all those ropes are going. Backwards, forwards, down, above, under, up, seeing and not seeing,hiding and visible.... It's not perfect but I'm happy who it looks. So Read Admiral and Lieutenant Commander....take a good look! Or where glasses...and no sun glasses please !!!!
  13. Congrats Robbyn ! She's a real beauty ! You have done proud to her. Now I'm off ,running to the room where I can see the birth of the Syren Adriaan, make room for me please......
  14. Hi Bob, I'm just watching your planking and that looks AWASOME !!!!!!!! When i see this ,I have not the nerve anymore to post pictures...... This smooth and clean....unbelieveble !
  15. @ Jim, You have a lot to read then @ Lawrence, It's not that difficult to have two builds together. You only need the space to store them when you are not working at one of them. And we have the space ! I think I can also start on the Aggy, but then I know that the other two are on the shelf. And they deserve it to get finished first ! And the upper rigging of the San Ildefonso? I think you mean the Le Mirage because the only rigging that I have done on the San Ildefonso is the bowsprit........ http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4220-dust-prevention/
  16. Hi randy, See if you can find that book from Petersson. We have it know ( Mobbsie gets it for us ) and it is a great help what about the rigging ! I use it all the time now !
  17. Just wonderful Patrick ! When I magnify the pictures it still looks if everything is one piece of wood instead of different planks ......... Really really great !!! Also the pictures outside ,I can not do that, when I do that everything is sailing away
  18. Thanks Jim and Sherry, You are back home Jim???? How was your stay in Philly ??????
  19. Very nice John ! And thanks for the pictures and the explanation about the hurricane house. Learn something again
