    Thanks Doris and Robbyn, @ Doris, The weather is good and I'm at work.... Sitting behind glass in the sunshine.... But it is better then rain ! @ Robbyn, You have a lot of faith on me ! Maybe to much ? I will see if I can handle those drop planks otherwise no drop planks ! It's the first layer and all of it will be covered at a second layer and copper plates .

    Sam, No pictures for a while....... Or I can post pictures of my passengers........ There i no building time but working time. And beside that.....the weather goes to 20 C , so sitting outside is also an option

The first picture that I opened at that tutorial from Chuck gives me the warning in red...Avoid this !!!!!!!!! So I'm not at the bow yet so....lucky me I have to use drop planks........ Ok. I go back to modelling school and see how I can do this. To be continue !

    Looks great Rich, I like the idea to put pins into the rail...... Something for me to do when I reach that part. So ,your tools are having secret compartments.......I have to take a look at my tools if they have also something like that!

    Popeye, Very nice paint job ! The only thing.....I don't know if this also count for the USA but in Holland, those red and white stripes means...Do not enter ! So nobody can go on board at your Half Moon ?????? But I love it !

    Thanks for the explanation Bindy, I know what you mean. When I take a look at your build, you will do a better job with the planking then I do. It's a matter of sanding and filling ! Then even the worst planking looks amazing ! Even all the members on this forum are writing English, I will teach you one word of Dutch. A lot of members are knowing that all ready....... Pfffffffffffffff Now you know one Dutch word !!!!!!
  16. Sjors
    thanks Ferit and Bindy, @ ferit, How are you doing ? @ Bindy, I'm demonstrating ???? Maybe how should not to do it.... I'm lucky that it is the first layer so i can do what i want with the planks. You don't see it anymore But I'm pleased how it turns out.
  17. Sjors
    Thank you all !!!! @ Augie, Can you keep your spiders for a while and don't send them yet to me.... Now you can feed them When the time is there, I will ask for them ! @ Sam, I was looking what you are talking about..... I know that we are different in Holland but we DON'T use a socket as an I-pod ! @ Klaas, In no time you will be further then me. When the hull is closed and sanded, I go back to the Fonz. @ Frank, You can have the mouse any time that you want ! And I don't know what it is...she or he....maybe a it ????? @ Sherry, So far two trees and still have 5 left.....
  18. Sjors
    Thanks Patrick, Grant and Kevin, @ Patrick, No worries. I have upstairs a long corridor what is high. So I make a shelf where she is gonna be standing with the San Ildefonso. @ Grant, I can not use the mouse for the ratlines I have Gnomes for that !
  19. Sjors
    Thanks Adriaan, Yes, soon it is filling and sanding. But first I have to close the hull....... For the big parts I use a electrical sanding machine called a mouse. A little handy tool. No pain in de shoulders for me !
  20. Sjors
    I have take a close look Adriaan and she is smooth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I will wait for the final pictures.
  21. Sjors
    That's a nice battery you've got there Theo ! Rigging is just great ! A few more to do for you and you can go further
  22. Sjors
    You are right Grant..... It is "voortreffelijk"
  23. Sjors
    3/4 of the planking is done. On the port side I have used some filler to see how it's gonna be. And it is smooth ! Nice layer for the next planking. Now I can close her and then it is totally filling and sanding. A few pictures to show you.
  24. Sjors
    Amazing Doris ! Forget those 300 men but please 1 Nelson ? Is that possible ???????? I still love what you are doing !!!!!
