Michael looks great but he has to look that gloomy ????? And if I can vote i wil vote for a Dutch manual To be honest, looking at the birth of the ST is all ready a pleasure to see. What it is gonna be when I can build her ????? Sjors

Mike, That look familiar to me When you are drawing the first line ,be sure that you have the middle of the frame ! This is where I go wrong the first time. Then I think it the best thing to use is a compass to get 2 mm on each side . Of course.....read the book carefully !!!!!!!!!!! Between the gun ports there is coming a line of 5 mm......and take a good look where you put the bottom of the gun port ! Then for the upper gun ports that comes into the bulwark. I will dry fit the deck. Take 2 pieces of wood that support to be there ( deck planking and a waterway) Same thickness as needed when you are planking the deck. Make one canon compleet with the wheels. Then you can figure out where the gun ports has to go . I hope you understand what I mean. Otherwise you will telling me that Sjors

Thanks Pat and Mike. @ Pat, I think that you meaning that it is easy to cut out all those gun ports ( 66 ) and place the sills ..... Yep, it worked On one side the first 33 gun ports are done ! No pictures yet because I want to show you the whole picture of all the gun ports ! @ Mike, I will come to your log to give you some hints ( I think ) I will place all the gun port lids just open with visible canons. The only thing that I maybe gonna change is the black colour on top. I have seen a blue one and I like that very much. For the rest I will see what 's wil be coming on the way. Sjors

Hoi Daniel... Anja told me that I have to take a look at your ST. She knows that I want to build one, so here I'am...... All I can say is wowie !!!!! That's a beauty ! I told Anja that I want to do one more kit build before I go to the dark side. I was waiting ( just like Ulises ) for the Victory from Chris Watton but I think that will take a long time before she is on the market. But my hart goes to the ST. I looked at the one from OcCre, but for me, there are to many iron parts in it. When I replace that for wood then the kit cost me a lot more. So I will wait patiently for your ST when she is on the market. Then I have already a question.... Is there an English (or maybe a Dutch.... ) manual?????? Sjors

Hello Theo ?? How are the updates ??? Or give us a sign of life please..... Sjors

Thanks you all for the comment and likes ! I shall now give some answers....( i Think ) @ Edwin, Thanks. I know slow and easy is the keyword for this. I make the first gun ports with the sills in it and so far so good.... Only the gun ports on the top I think that they are to high. So when the lower gun ports are done I wil place the deck and make one of the carriages to see if I have to change it. @ Hennie, Also thanks. And we will see you next saturday @ Nenad, Our hobby has always things that has to be repeated..... And the storage thing is that we like it or love it because we are doing it over and over. And you can say wirk instead of work Thanks @ Frank, It's not so hard to measure all the time. Because it's part work they don't give you big drawings only little books with pictures . So you have to read and take a good look and looking forward !!!!!!! @ Piet, Thank you !!!!!! And I will take precautions... It happened to me before as you still remember I'm happy so far but at the end it will show if I have the right measurements @ Bug, Are we all ????? We like to work with sharp knifes and cut us each time and still we love it @ Ulises. Thanks my friend . I think I also make a wish list.... But not with SotS...... I'm still hoping to see the victory from Chris. But not at this moment.... I need to safe money for that !!!!! Sjors

A little update. I have measure the frames to see where the gun ports has to come.... It was not that easy. On one side I've done it 3 times before I was happy. And fingers crossed that they are on the right place. The only thing to find out is to open the gates with a drill, knife and file...... Sjors
