    Here is what i was waiting for.... All the others are saying what i want to say !

    Not a problem Jason but it "looks" not right...... When you look at the replicas on scale 1:1 they are always ones or twice around the belaying pin. Then they tie them up in a coil or just a loop. When the rope is jumpy, maybe you can use beeswax? Not the synthetic but the pure one. Pull the rope a few times true the wax and it stays as you wish. When you make the 8 figure then, it wil be staying an 8 figure.... I know you can buy it in the States. We don't have it and someone send it to me and it works just great ! No fuzzy rope and you can turn it in every shape that you want. Don't misunderstand me please....your work is just great and I only want to help a little.

    I don't say a word...

    Jason, I see that you have make multiple 8 on the pin. Maybe it is better to do it only ones or twice and then tie them up ? But good job !

    Very nice again Bob, I have also a question about the canons...... That eyebolt at the end of the barrel, do you make/drill that by your self or was it that this way ? I'm asking it because I want to do the same with my canons on the Aggy. I know that the breech rope goes to that.....

    So here you are....... I wil take a seat and wil follow you on this one also...... That's a nasty warp but as others are saying, send Jotika/Caldecraft an e-mail for an replacement. It's better to do that then when you are trying to soak it and get it straight ( what not is working yet ) You save your self a lot of problems . You still have the Snake to work on.....

    Thanks All @ David, Shipmaster ???? Maybe from the ferry the Hollandica or Brittanica @ Mark, If I had some inspiration it should be from the Aggy. In real that looks much more impressive then on pictures...... But thanks , also for the welcome back..... @ Grant, Thanks also, The rigging Gnomes are indeed busy.... But finishing in no time ?????? I don't think so ! It cost me one day to a make one stay...... The rope is turning again ! So re-do and re-do and re-do ..... And monday my bus wil be waiting for me.........

    After our vacation I have done something.... It's totally different as planking No sawdust but rope dust....... I have ( try ) to make the, Main royal stay Main topgallant stay Main topmast stay Main topmast preventer stay Then I have try to make a connexion between the eyebolt and the stay ....but again, the rope going on his own way....turning around again ! It takes some time before all the stay's are on the eyebolts. But it keep you from the street.

    Hi Ben, Things happened. But I'm lucky that I have to use copper tiles and paint. So with a little bit of sanding you don't see a thing about it. But the wood is really bad quality. A little bit of shame for Caldercraft. For the rest it is a great kit ! I know for now that my next build ( kuch kuch ) wil be also from Caldercraft ! And that should be the last kit build...... I can not let Anja doing scratch and I stay with kits.....
  25. Sjors
