Thank you Aldo I like this also. It's better then the other one. I'm now busy with the other one…. -
Thank you Mark, I'm happy with it . And now I can go on with the back mainstay….and I take the same rope for that! Just a question….a futtock stave has to be round? Or can I just leave it…...
-
@ Frank, I'm gonna use that for the anchors ! Not for stays anymore….. @ Mecheleir, Thanks!
-
Thanks Grant and Mick, @ Mick, What do you mean about the crows nest? Its a warship.
-
Nice job Augie ! And put those safety timbers back Thanks for answering a question Chuck before I could ask it. Mobbsie beat me with that. But now we know that your build is be watch closely Augie.
-
Thanks you all for your improvement I'm happy you like it ! And the other cable is used for the anchors when ever they come on the ship….. ( a few months maybe )
-
Randy, I'm happy that you see that I changed the mainstay rope……. Are you sure you looking at the right pictures? Your right….instead of a cable it's now rope I'm glad you like it ( or is that not what you are saying….)
-
I have re-do the mainstay and now I can called it mainstay ! I think it's a improvement instead of that cable that it was first. So please, tell me what you think about it.

Hi Mick and Aldo, Mick, I don't like it myself but I want to have a opinion from someone else before I rip things of that was not necessary. And is that not why we are on the forum? To help each other and re- do things? It's not fun when you have to re-do things but….necessary sometimes. And at the end you be more happy….. @ Aldo, Thank you ! I think ( and hope ) that you don't mean that cable or as you called it mainstay….

Hi Bob, I'm silence for a few days because I was reading all this. It's no fun when this happened but it's just what Mark is saying. Put in hold for a few days, clear your mind, take a beer of 10, and with a fresh mind ( if that's possible after 10 beers ) go further on it. I know with your skills you can make something of it. We have all the faith in you !!!!! ( Easy to say ,I know, but you have to do it ) So grab the bull by the horns and go for it.

Morning Robbyn and Popeye, @ Robbyn, You are right. It's a part of the hobby. But when I keep it this way, then I don't look to her anymore. So, more work to be done. @ Popeye, Yes Augie explains it to me. I have two of those but that indeed for later. I think I will do the bowsprit at last. Because they also have shrouds and that kind of stuff. And now I can work around her without touching any rope.
-
Hi Grant, Welcome on board, glad you made it.
-
I have make a decision …. I don't like the mainstay at all ! I'm gonna rip it off In my opinion the rope is to thick ! So tomorrow I'm gonna change it with a thinner one. I have talk with my mentor ( Mobbsie ) about it and he agree. I have also ask Augie how he feels about it and he is saying the same. Thank you guy's for sharing your thoughts with me ! And now you see I listen to you !!!!!!!!!

You know how you can make my day Ricardo Thanks for those wonderful pictures. It's still a pleasure to see how it all comes together ! -
Adriaan, The I should say , use the flashlight. The pictures are much better !!!!! Nice railings around the stairs !
-
Multitasking Børge???? And cooking and building Pullerts are they bollards? I mean those 2 brass things on each side next of the rope….
-
Hi Jim, Good luck with the move ! And just what Augie is saying….be careful with the models ! No worries, I don't start an other log. First finish those 3.

Hi all, @ Jim, The organisation of the workshop is my own thing. At this way I have everything where I need it and I can find it. At the moment not so clean but when I'm working I let everything fall where it goes….. @ Mick, Thanks, I thought first that it was anchor rope but no, I have to use it for that. In my opinion they make a mistake and it was the meaning to put a tug boat in front of her so that's a pulling rope @ Augie, Thanks, I have to take a look if I've got that. I think I have that but that's for the last….. I have also to make shrouds and ratlines on the bowsprit and I have to figure out how that goes…..

I know that Brian, But I'm seeing the Le Mirage as a learning ship. It's the first time that I'm rigging a ship from this size. When I'm at the this stage with the San Ildefonso and later on ( much later ) at the Aggy, I think that I change the ropes for better ones. But one thing at the time.
