Thank you all It goes this fast that I have done 5 of them And that in 1 hour ! But then ,duty called and I have done nothing yet. I hope I can do the other 5 this weekend ! Then a picture of it. I have to count the 2 mm blocks that i have and also the hooks. If I have not enough, I will only place the breech ropes for the lower gun deck and give it a try at the upper gun deck. The reason ? Everything will be covered by the little boats ( 5 of them ) Sjors

Thanks Mobbsie, Nick and Lawrence, @ Mobbsie, I have make 2 breech ropes. At the end of this post you will see a picture of it. @ Nick, Thank you And for you also the best wishes from the two of us ! @ Lawrence, You have to wait a little longer for the rigged cannons. I'm just playing with the breech ropes yet. But thank you ! As I promised to Mobbsie and someone else who is yelling about pictures, I will post two. It cost me the whole morning to make one breech rope, I have to figure out what works for me. I think I found it because the other one takes me about 1/2 hour The light is not that good , I have to use artificial light. Still it is in the middle of the day and it's just so grey outside that I need the lights. But you can see what I have done so far. The first picture are the two breech ropes, the second one is with her teeth outside the hull ! Sjors

Still try to find the mood to do the other things And a happy new year for you to from me and Anja. Beside the building......I bought a 5000 pieces puzzle for her from Jan van Haasteren And guess what....it is saying USA !!!!!!!!! So no building for her but making a puzzle....... @ George, I know you are a silence follower so thank you for the comment ! Much appreciated !!!!! For you also the best wishes for 2015 ! And we head a great time. We went next door so early in the morning it takes only 1 minute to get home Only the next morning was a little difficult. So yesterday no building otherwise I glue a cannon on the bowsprit @ Sam, Happy new year for you also ! I hope it will help you with that drawing. I have search for it and found it so now someone else can have the benefit of it ! It's better that it is on different logs where you can find it easy. Sjors
