@Captain Jack Sparrow, you know that you can buy the San Ildefonso in boxes? 
I have done the same and maybe i will buy the Montañez the same way.

You don’t have to pay the total amount at once.

Just box by box when you finished one you can buy the next one.

Sjors

First of all....the best wishes for the new year and stay healthy!

A small update.

Did some rigging at the bowsprit and make the stays and crowfeet.

Also make the shrouds at the fore mast.

Next thing......ratlines.......

Sjors

Still no monday but you are both welcome 😃

And Sam? I was always here, last build was the Flirt.

Sjors

Found it!

From monday i will work on her further.

Sjors

Glad that you can tell me that i have the flu and not the flew...( i don’t know what that is 😀

Is that something like flying?

Sjors

 I have looked at the Battle Station in your last picture a time or two and it is much larger than I imagined. Neat to get a sense of scale to it.

The kit is from Panart and the scale is 1:23

When you are looking for this kit ,the name is...

Posto di combattimento.

Sjors

Thank you very much for your kind words and the likes.

Just what I was saying it was a pleasure to build.

There are a few mistakes but that's up on me.

Chris Watton has make a great kit!

I can recommended it to give it a try.

I didn't know that such small ship has that much of rigging.

Almost more then my Aggy 🙂

Sjors

Last update.

She is finished!

It was a fun build and I enjoy it every minute.

Time to do some rigging at another model 🙂

The last picture is her final place where she is gonna stay.

Sjors

I will wait for the result.

I think it’s gonna be fine!

Hi Sjors,

 

 

Question: Are you patient enough to let me build your lifeboats. This lifeboat was the first one I made and took me about  a week. 😁

 

Kind regards,

 

Peter

Yes i have 😀

If everything goes as it should be then tomorrow the flirt is (almost) finished.

A few ropes and the anchors and that’s it.

Then i go start rigging the Nuestra Senora del Pilar.

That will take a while so when you have finished the small ones it still takes me some time to finsish the rigging 🤣

Sjors

Hi George,

Funny ,my name Sjors is George in English 😀

Then about the nails.

Even when you paint the hull white you always see them

I think you glued the planks against the frames?

Then it is no problem to remove them 

Just a small screwdriver under the head and you can remove them with a plier.

Good luck.

Sjors

Hello gsxdent59,

Can you tell us your name?

That should be easier to write down 🙃

Sorry for the late respons but a few things.

First your planks.

You have to short because you planked the whole lower deck.

I did only the deck that you see when the upper deck is in place.

Then you have enough wood.

Then your red and yellow paint...

If you like it keep it this way otherwise try the admiralitypaint.

Red ochre and yellow ochre.

And because the paint goes around the gun ports en bullwarks ,try to sand it smoother and you can use filler over there and sand it after you put filler on it.

I know that it’s a big girl and i love building her every minute.

You are on the right track and if you want to know something, let me know.

There is also something that i will ask you.

You know that it is single planking...

And do you let the nails in it?

Sjors

Great work again Peter.

I have 4 more of those to make.

If you are boring.......let me know 😃

Sjors

Wow, two updates after each other 🙂

The yards are is place and now the running rigging.....

Sjors

Thanks Kevin and John 🙂

Sjors

On a sunny day another update.

The bowsprit is done with the rigging.

Also de Jib boom and Gaf.

It's small but funny.

I'm pleased how it all comes together.

Now it is time for make the yards ready....

There all ready painted so time for the blocks.

Till another update.

Enjoy your day and keep healthy!

Sjors

I still have another project Kevin.

But that’s also rigging so......

But you never know what Santa has in mind ( read Anja )

Sjors

Thanks Bob and VTHokiEE,

That's the word I was looking for....unravel ( In Dutch it is rafelen)

@Rich,

With us every thing is just going as it should be.

We are happy that all is well with you to.

Give our regards to Judy.

Sjors

Hello Spyglass,

Thanks for the comment.

About the rope for the shrouds and ratlines, i’ve got them from Morope Germany.

The only thing is when i use that rope, every time when i have to cut i have to put a drop of glue on the thread.

When i don’t do that it’s coming loose ( don’t how to say it but then you have multiple threads )

Sjors

Hello all.

Thanks for the thumps up 😃

I have make the stays..... and finished the shrouds and ratlines.

Because it is little and because of my big hands, it was a task but I managed it!

I can talk what I want but it is better to show the pictures.

Sjors

I’m in also Bob.

Have fun!

Sjors

Hi Glenn,

 Nice to see you get started with that early Christmas present....

Great job on the cradle, difficult issue?...😂🤣
