    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

    @ Nigel, It's for me the first time that I'm rigging the cannons. Done one breech rope Sorry, make one end of a rope to a ring that goes on an eyebolt...... 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

I have to do it by myself @ Grant, Me too ! Now I have to found a good example of how it has to be. There are so many logs that it is difficult to find what I can need. @ Nenad, Thank you So you are that figure in the back ground....... @ Aldo, No worries. I don't shoot friends.... And thank you Sjors
  20. Sjors
    Thanks Popeye and Bob, You don't see the eyebolts Popeye ??????? Those in the middle..... @ Bob, Rigging cannons is fun ??????? Those blocks are 2 mm, I can hardly see them ! Now I have to search for how to rig them. Did you make them ? I'm gonna take a look at your log Sjors
  21. Sjors
    Only 10 for the lower gun deck patrick. After that a few more for the upper deck.... It's good to practice first at the lower one. She only has her lower teeth And thank you Sjors
  22. Sjors
    Patrick, With other words......when do I going ????????? Sjors
  23. Sjors
    The cannons for the lower gun deck are painted and on the carriages. The 10 carriages and cannons in the middle have the eyebolts for the rigging. The others around it will have no rigging. They are hiding under the different decks like the upper deck and poop deck and maybe another deck Next thing to do is place the cannons and then I can start the rigging......of the cannons ! Putting eyebolts in the bulwark and of we go Sjors
  24. Sjors
