Sjors

Welcome home my friend !!!!!!

Good to see you back     

Sjors

Thanks Randy,

Filling those caps is also for me a difficult thing to do.

I know I spoiled a few before it is correct.

I think I go further with the complete plates and at the end I am gonna start the filling.

Sjors

I promise you an update today and here it come.......

Not the update that you are expecting but it is one !

Caldercraft give me a cradle with nothing..

I know that some is painting them or giving it a layer of stain.

I didn't do that.

Because I love planking, I have planked the whole thing !

When that was done I give it two layers of mat varnish.

I think it looks good.

But, see for your self.

I also place the nameplate that I've got from Mobbsie.

But, I don't want you to think that I'm doing nothing, the last picture is an update from the starboard side.

So you see that I'm still at the copperplates !

Sjors

Amazing......

Sjors

Great job Mike !

A few things and then....rigging time !

Good luck with that   

Sjors

Ok....

No bus but it is still me !

It's just like clothes......I'm chancing it everyday....

Same with the bus, every day another bus......

Even building....now and then another build.....

Only not Anja...I will keep her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Kevin,

Sometimes you have to change.

@ Grant,

Yep, a year ago.

Time flies....when you have fun !

@ Augie,

The passengers has taken the bus and leaving me behind.......

@ Mark,

Witch log you are looking at, it's always the right log !

@ Bindy,

Thanks for the good word about the coppering 

Wait and see when I'm done with the other side........

Maybe later today an update !

Sjors

Good Day Sir, I purchased my ship 4 years ago and due to my work and travel have never started it. But that is about to change. I have read numerous logs regarding the model and all seem to mention that the plans are in accurate in areas and that the instruction book isn't as detailed as it could be? I was wondering if these snags have been improved in the recently issued model kits?

I am from Liverpool a maritime city and the sea is in my blood.....but I joined the Army (no regrets). Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Tom

Sorry that I'm not answering you Tom.

I don't know how the manual was years ago....

I have these day's no problems at all.

The drawings are clear to me.

But don't forget, Mobbsie is helping me.

He is a walking manual ......

When you start a build log, let me know and I will follow you and help you where I can.

Sjors

This is just something that happened.

When we are talking about it, there will be some how a solution to solve it.

Other builders in the future has benefit of it.

I will wait to see where you came up with       

Sjors

I just love what you are doing with this kit Theo.

Maybe I should put a smile behind my post ?
