    @ Mobbsie, Thank you !!!!!!! The stern is hanging just loose And I need some filler to get everything closed....... So, first I finishing the quarter gallery's with every thing on it and then I go further...... Thank you Sir !!!!!! I also have a little talk with Klaas on the other forum about this. His idea was to finish the whole stern ( transom and all the stuff ) and the goes to the second planking. We will talk about this tomorrow evening on Skype @ Augie, I know that Mobbsie knowing about this but I wanted to see what others will saying about this. But at the end I will listen to Mobbsie ( I have to keep my friend satisfied ) ( just kidding ) ( or not ) Pfffff ( there he is again ) @ Borge, You are still around my friend ???? Thanks !!!!! I will do my best ! @ Patrick, If you find it all ready great when I only place the support beams wait till you see the windows on it !!! But thanks for the good word !!!

But what do I know about it ? Totally nothing but it sounds so good !!!!!!! Just kidding !!!!! Great job so far.

    The support beams on the port side are on it. I painted the back wall white and lay planks on the floor. Now I can go to the starboard side and then......good question. I want to have your opinion on this. What do I do first.... The windows and painting the quarter gallery's first and then the second planking or the other way around ? Don't forget that where the quarter gallery's are coming, the surrounded area will be also be painted black.

    Great job Grant, If you are boring your self I have also 5 of those if you wanted

    Thanks Ben and Mark, It's really a jigsaw those quarter gallery's...... The support beams on the port side are almost on it. One more to go and then I can make a picture of it and please give me your comments then. Then I can place the walls with windows. I don't put the transom on it because I have to turn her upside down for the second planking and coppering to avoid damage.

    It should be about time that you give us an update Mobbsie . My own Aggy is almost finished.....
  14. Sjors
    Thanks Popeye, I'll be doing my best. I'm now puzzling with the quarter gallery's. Can they not make it easier ?
  15. Sjors
    Mobbsie, I can tell you that you concerns have no foundation.... Can sleep now ????
  16. Sjors
    Thanks Frank, Mobbsie has nothing to do with it... He just finished his kitchen. Hopefully he can go back to his Aggy again. It's to long ago for any updates....
  17. Sjors
    You let us wait for a little while about an update but when it is coming, it is just great ! Very nice !
  18. Sjors
    I shall take care of it Klaas.... Thanks
  19. Sjors
    Thanks Grant and Kevin, It keeps you of the street........ Learning process for as I go to the dark side

    Next problem I was trying to dry-fit the transom to see how that goes before I started at the quarter gallery's. I know from Mobbsie that he has to raise the transom a bit because it don't fit how it should be. I found out that I had the same problem. So I contacted Klaas to see what he has. In the beginning he had also that problem but he found out why and what to do. Because my bulwarks are glued in and his not, he can change it easier then I do. But there is no man over board At the end of this post you will see pictures of that. What have I ( and many others ) done. The bulwark has to go down and shaped. Now you see a gap between the planks and the plate of the bulwark. That should be closed ! So the whole plate will come down a bit just to the right hight. What I am gonna do is this. I leave the transom as it should be. So my top of the bulwark is 2 mm to high. When the poop deck is planked , I can make the bulwarks fits nicely. The only concern that I have is what about the canons on the lower deck. Try that also out and I must say. you don't see 2 mm..... When it is more, I can play with the second planking so that's also no problem anymore ( I hope ) On the pictures the transom slower then it wil come at the end The pictures are. 1 : dry-fit transom 2 : dry-fit transom bottom 3 : red line signed by Hansa to see till where I can take wood away 4 : Green line signed by Klaas to show how it should be.

    Much better Hans !!! And you don't want my head as a figure head....... But maybe it is a good thing ? You are chasing the enemy away then !!!!!!

    Thanks for the help with the turning windows Guy's ! When you are working with those things you can missed something like this. Then it is nice to have a few ( 100 ) extra eyes to look at it The only thing is now that I have to take a close look with the camera and you will see all the imperfections of the paint...... I have not that steady hand that I want to play with the brush. So I keep it this way........ It's gonna be on the back with a balcony and a few other things in front so hopefully you don't see it clearly anymore...... @ Theo, Those columns are included in the kit. I have see that there are still 30 of those columns left and 32 windows to do. So sharp your glasses.

  24. Sjors

  25. Sjors
