  1. Hi Randy, I see that you all ready started with those ratlines. Are you using the Clove Hitch? Later this day I can also make a start at that.
  2. I'm still waiting and sit at the front row, even if it is till the end of the year ! You can not remove me If you please supply a little food and drinks, It will be all right then.
  3. Hi Adriaan, If you can found him over there ,then just buy it ! It's a jigsaw of Jan van Haasteren. Unbelievable details and he has a lot more of those things. Let me know if you can find one...
  4. Enjoy your vacation Ben ! The shape looks good but you have to let me see where it for is
  5. Hi Bankie, Nice deck planking ! Great job ! And modelling is not only relaxing as you find out Keep on going and from time to time I bring you a visit.
  6. Hi Ferit, Yes, the rope is grey/beige and a little shiny. Bit the picture makes it more shiny then it is. And that you missed the Mirage is no problem. Things happened when you are building 2 ship at the same time. I have for the ratlines 3 parts on the main mast and fore mast….2 parts at the mizzen mast and 1 part at the bowsprit... So, a lot of ratlines…..
  7. The shrouds are re-done…... It's not perfect on the seizing and it need some cutting on the wires but I let it stay this way. I see the Mirage as a learning build for the rigging of the San Ildefonso. I can not do the foremast yet because I need some chains and deadeyes because they are broken. For the San Ildefonso I also need chains for the deadeyes. The ones that are provide by OcCre are just terrible so I have to order new ones. But that is for later. So the San Ildefonso is on the shelf again. When I go further at her I have to ships at the same time to do the rigging. Now I can switch a little. Rigging the Mirage and making the masts for the San Ildefonso. And of course a few pictures……. Tomorrow I can start on the ratlines….a few of them !
  8. Great news Adriaan ! I'm still sitting on the front row and wait till you get started ...
  9. Morning Adriaan, If you want to, we have here about 30 jigsaw puzzles in the house….. A few 3000 pieces, so when you have finish the one that you are working now, I'll send you some new ones Great that you feel better !
