Just WOW Bob!

Sjors

Thanks for the likes and everyone who is visiting from time to time.

Ratlines are done!

I can not see any ratline for a while now.....

I don't count them but there are a lot.

Pictures are a little bit bad because she is to big to get het in one shot....

Sjors

Just love it!

And another project?

Sjors

After a few weeks of planking and a little bit more sanding the hull is smooth!

A smooth substrate  for the second planking.

That will start in a few days....

For now pictures.

I don't make any stealers or drop planks because you don't see a thing about it!

Just the easy way 🙂

Hi Mick,

The Nuestra don't give me much problems but I have to finish it for my wife.

And it is always a little difficult to go further on something that is done for a big part.

I'll be making ratlines on that one. but almost finished.

Sjors

Hoi Hennie,

Welcome back!

I should be about time that you are working on the SoS again.

Sjors

Great job!

I’m proud of you 💪👍

Sjors

Small update....

All the shrouds and ratlines at the lower fore,- , main,- , and mizzenmast are done.

All black so that was not so easy to see it all.

Next stop....the upper parts 🙂

Sjors

Hello Ben,

I have read your log and you have done a great job with your planking.

I have lay on both sides one plank.......

And now for the rest😃

I will watch you closely!

So i have 3 logs i can follow now 😄

cheers

Sjors

Great job Peter

Only one thing.

If possible remove the channels a bit to the right or left.

When you are now install your shrouds they will be destroyed by the deck canons when they are fired..

That’s something that happened me also all the time.

Sjors

She’s finished!

And i try to keep your words in my mind that i should be finished before you.

But you are quicker then me.

But no problem.

I can use your log😃

Oh, btw....Great job!!!! Congrats.

Sjors

Thx Mick,

Welcome back then 😃

Aggy was a while back and this one is a little smaller.

So maybe i will finish her sooner.

And do you have a build?

Sjors

Again a little update.

The gun bulwarks are in place.

It was a little tricky but it goes better than I thought.

A few minutes soaking in hot water and the job was done.

Also placed the stern facia and stern facia knees.

And the stern counter facia.

The first plank can be placed.

Enough talking so time for some pictures.

Sjors

All the frames are glued.

No problems at all.

Just fits perfect.

Next stop the deck .

Sjors

Love to see this grow Rusty!

The wood and paint job is just outstanding!

Sjors

Thanks Chris,

You can blame Anja for it 😊

Sjors

First update 🙂

Cut the frames and false keel part.

Now sanding the connections away.....

Sjors

HMS Snake was launched in 1797 as the only member of her class of brig-sloops. She captured or destroyed two French privateers and one Danish privateer. She also captured numerous small merchantmen, but spent time escorting convoys to and from the West Indies. She was sold in 1816.

Scale: 1:64

Length: 910 mm

Width: 350 mm

Height: 910 mm

And now the build begins.

Wow Jason,

I thought that the Snake was finished....

But it goes better and better.

I have now no regret that I bought the Snake yesterday 😃

I was hoping that i will get it today but i think tommorow.

So this build log will be my guide.

Thanks my friend.

Sjors

Henrik,

What you can do is put some sawdust with glue in the wood that is open till it is smooth as the rest.

Light sanding the whole bow part and paint it black again!

Or glue on both side a small part of wood and paint it .

But do that on both sides and nobody will see it.

Only the people who follow you 😂

For the rest looks it just great!!

Sjors

Nice work Peter.

For rigging the canons you can only make the breach rope.

That is what I'm doing all the time.

It's to small to put blocks on it.

Sjors

Doris,

Also from Anja and myself our condolences.

Again you make a masterpiece and this one for you and your husband.

RESPECT!

We understand that you have lost the feeling of building but remember that when you are coming back ,we are here for you!

Anja & Sjors

Again a little update.

I have make the shrouds for the lower mizzen-, main,- and foremast.

I also started with the ratlines on the foremast .

I have no rope anymore for the ratlines so that has to wait for a few days before I can go on.

I ordered new rope and maybe at the end of the week I wil have it.

Sjors

Thanks Jason!

What is prolific????

And i have to finish the builds otherwise Anja don’t let me buy another one.

And most of the builds are gone now.

I have no room anymore!

I will finish the Nuestre  senora del Pilar

Then  till i can buy the Victory it should be small ones........

Sjors

Okeeeee,

Hi George from Greece 😀

Wow, all the filler is sold out in Greece???

Now you have a lot of sanding to do!

 And don’t forget to remove the nails.

You will see that when you paint the hull.

And don’t forget to sand around the gunports.

The planks are thick enough.

Good luck!

George from Holland 🤣
