    Thanks all I see a few questions ,so I have to answer them ( again ) @ Bob, Thanks ! when it is coming from a ( almost or already ) 70 year old master builder is doing a lot to me !!!!! @ Mobbsie, I told you before....leave the bottle !!!!!!! It's only one gore line.( or do i miss something ? ) I know you are a master cutter so .....will you ???? @ Grant, Yep, 1/2 way ( almost ) But I'm dubbing what i shall do first. The starboard side or filling up ? @Randy, Also thank you ! And you see it wel. I have to do a few tiny plates and the bow and stern. I believe it takes me more time to do that then when I can go just straight in the middle. And then a day or two ????? Pffffffffffffff I think more about a month or two ....... Sjors

    Hi JP, I'm seeing it now.... They are solid blocks instead of balsa.....I have this with the Smit Rotterdam from BB. I didn't know that it was also with the kits of Corel. And I give only milk to Augie. A man of his age has to be careful...... Sjors

    Thank you all for the good words !!!!!!! And all the like's !!! @ Lawrence, I know how you are meaning it, it's no problem !!!!!!!! @ Piet, Re-do is a enjoyment ????????? Everything all right with you ????? You are not mentally ill or something ?????? @ Sam, Gore line....... Good question ! When I translate it in Dutch i've got something that it has to do with shoes.....maybe klompen ? Just kidding. I hope I can give you the right answer. For me is the gore line the line that follows the shape of the hull. At the bottom, close to the keel , the line goes straight. After a few rows they are going up with a curve from the middle. Just see it as the planks . They are also going up. That's why we need stealers and drop planks. If I'm wrong, please someone, give the right answer ! Sjors

    Hi JP, Welcome home Good you are using balsa for de bow filler. Now you can drew a line and sand it away........ Then it fits perfectly ! Nice pictures, thank you !!!!!! I'm using a x-knife ( that kind what the doctors are using when they are modelling your body ) Those blades are that sharp that when you blow at it, the air wil be cut in two.... Sjors
  19. Sjors

  20. Sjors
    Amazing..... How did you make that ( the hook )? Something for the little ones on the Aggy ! Sjors
  21. Sjors
    @ Lawrence, Be patient please ! I'm a little bit further with the plates but I was talking about it with Mobbsie and yes, I have made a mistake again.... In fact...two. So I have to remove a few plates to get it right. And now you wanna now what of course. I tell you. First I had place one plate inside the gore line. That one goes out en will follow the gore line. Second, at the stern post and bow section, I let the plates make the same curve as the gore line. Now I found out that the plates has to be straight on that. So 6 more plates has to go. I hope later this week i can make pictures..... @ Draggz, Thanks !!!! Sjors
