The shrouds look great - they really add to the look of the ship!

Hello Augie,
I know, I'm letting you down and I'm sorry. But I'll be just one forum away. And I already reserved you a first class seat in the front. Feel better now?
I keep telling myself over and over again that scratchbuilding is much better for me than a kit build. I think for me, it is much more enjoyable than building from a kit. And my ultimate dream is to scratchbuild the VOC ship 'Prins Willem'. So, that is why I start with the Hannah. Not just yet though. I just placed the order yesterday, so it will be some time before I can start.
First I finish the Half Moon. Make sure she is ready for her maiden voyage.
Take care,
Anja
PS - Yes, Sjors know about this. And I may borrow his tools

OK, I'm BACK!!!!!!!! The relatives have headed back East with Syren none the worse for wear. She did manage to survive a Tsunami started by an errant can of Coke. Whew
But you folks have been having so much fun in my absence that I feel I must contribute something --- even a minor update.
So here are the mainmast lower yard buntlines and falls. Yes, they're hard to see.
I know I promised an overview shot but I want to finish the buntlines on the foremast first and set the next yards.
And tomorrow I simply MUST go catch some fish
But it's great to be back tying knots and herding the spiders !

Glad I've got enough F-5 Glaze in stock to build all of Nelson's Fleet at Trafalgar.
I guess next they'll discontinue the Dusenberg !

Lookin' good Augie. Somehow, I think you need to play this:
I'll get me hat and go quietly now.

You, Sir, have some amazingly talented spiders! Looking very good!
Now about that fishing - remember, it will be difficult to convince anyone that frozen cod filets or frozen Tilapia was fresh caught today!
Enjoy - and look forward to the next update!

Hello Augie,
Welcome back. You have been missed.
I'm glad your Syren survived the coke attack.
And never mind it is hard to see, we just enlarge the picture.
I will wait patiently for the 'overview shot'.
Enjoy your fishing trip tomorrow.
Take care,
Anja

Well, it's unanimous. Good conversation and a concensus!
Didn't mean to imply your keel was too thick. Actually, I love it as is. This is a skiff for trophy whales.

Well she certainly looks better, and these things we fixate on tend to fade as more detail is put on the model to divert the eye.
Glad you feel happier about her now.
I like the colour contrast you are achieving.
Cheers,
