I go for nr 3 looks more real to me. Sjors -
Wow, Just one question about the previous post. What are you using now for your floaters now you are using the lead for your model? Sjors

Thanks for the fine words my friends! @Anton, Yes, above the waterline is fineer but i have to plank it also with wood that has the same thicknes as the darker wood for the bottom. The fineer is 2 mm inside the frames. if not, thicknes enough for sanding 🙃2 mm. @Rich, Also thanks and i will send you a PM in a few minutes. Sjors

Hennie, yes, the prefab gun ports are also has to be planked..... But still single planking because that prefab is not planking 🤔 And the canons are not messing but a look if it is old...... So no work on that 😁 Sjors

That brings back memories....... Nice ! Sjors

Nice, And there are netting coming by those stanchions ? Sjors

Nice builds EJ Question, Are you sanding that hull by hand or are you using a sanding machine like a mouse or palm ? There should be a lot of sanding and I think it's double planking ? Sjors

I goes slow but it' s going...... I have placed the gun deck gun ports. It was not that easy as I thought. At the bow they has to make a strange curve to get it right. But I'm happy with it. Then I also make the first planks. On top 2 sapelli and below that ramin wood. This is going till the end of the 4th gun deck gun ports . When I'm there I have to go back to the sapelli wood. It's single planking so I have to do it the right way . I have only one change to do it....... I also dry fit 3 gun port frames to let you see what it is in the future...... Sjors

On this sunny Sunday I have a little update. Place the upper deck, planked it and put Tung oil on it. Then make the inner bulwark. On the manual they just keep it natural but I painted it ochre red. Much better in my opinion. Then the first parts of the bulwark on it and now 3 more to go on each side of the ship. There is also place for supports for the false canons It's better to glue the support on before you put the things on it ( don't know the name......) Sjors

I don't know what you mean Anton. Sam is talking about a Wells Fargo stage coach. I was building her and almost finished when it fells from the table...... Sjors

Hi Terry, I have a palm ( mouse) sander myself and to be honest, for me it's the 8 world wonder! I use it when ever i can. When you take a look at my build log from the Santisima Trinidad you will see the results when you see the decks. Because the planks has not the same thickness it needs a lot of sanding. With that mouse it's just a piece of cake. Sjors

Hi Terry, I just have to echo Cog about the kit. When I build her it was totally different! I see that you have a lot of sanding to do on the hull when you want a smooth hull. Use filler and use a lot. Sjors

The kit came from the moon Mustafa And the space shuttle runs out of fuel.........( sorry ) Sjors

Thank you all...... The color is better then I thought @ Tom, Sorry , I missed your post. The wood is not that bad..... It's not Caldecraft but I can work with it. The only thing with Ochre is that they have a lot of metal parts in the kit. When you want to bash it then this is a good opportunity.....( difficult word for me ) But overall I'm happy. And it is not the first OcCre kit that I'm building. 1 : Spirit of Mississippi 2 : Corsair 3 : San Ildefonso 4 : Santísima Trinidad..... And Anja is building the Nuestre Señora del Pilar. So you see.....we are keeping OcCre busy @ Sam, Just keep looking at the build log for kits. You know me by now....one build at the time is not enough. I know what you want to say....what about the Stage Coach ????? You are right about that but I don't feel the need to work on it right now.....sorry...... @ Piet, I will send you new glasses..... That's Hennie with that anchor, not me ! We are in the picture before that. The picture with Anja and myself, looking at some models. But I understand that you prefer to see Anja ..... Sjors

Hello Terry, Anja was saying to me that there was a build log of the Smit Rotterdam. Found it ! In my early days of building , I have build it myself. And because we are living close to Rotterdam and I have seen that tug boat many times in real life, I will take a seat and will watch the birth of this beauty ! Do your best and if there are any questions......just ask ! And now I'm here , it is tradition that I place a popcorn machine. So I see a free corner. If you don't like it, please tell me and I will remove it. Sjors

Thanks Denis and Ulises. Also that for the likes. @ Ulises, When the popcorn bag is empty ....just re-fill it I have plank the decks. The lower gun deck has also a layer of tung oil. And I see the other ones also .....Morning Sjors. I also post a few pictures with the beginning of the planking and the end result. The bow section looks if it needed some modifications but don't forget...there is a lot that comes at the wall. So maybe a little sanding paper? Sjors
