thanks Jim.

wel i am not too good. the medication i was taking for the minor health problem has caused some alergic reactions on my skin (think itchy and scratchy  )

so had to stop them and am now been treated with something to counter the effects and hopefuly soon because its driving me crazy (or is that crazier)

i worked for about an hour adding the trenails and drilling more holes.

i bought some beer (german bitburger as i cant get my prefered belgian beer) the day before and had one today because all this talk about beer has made me crave one

yummy nothing better then some good belgian beer to celebrate

beuatiful job you are doing

SS Australia

am at photo 108 now and the instructions talk about an eagle figurehead  . it is supposed to be an albatros

looks pretty good to me

weewt done 74/216 photo instructions which means the first page of instructions is done .

thanks John. about them. I made them a bit larger as the small ones kept disintegrating when sanding and was also more dificult to get them all the  same size. this resulted in some tight fit at the bow where 2 headposts are close together

you are getting there John

thanks John,Carl and Anja

as i said its just a minor problem that i have been having since beginning this year.

i did get to work for an hour tonight . drilled a few more holes for the treenaling

also installed the triangles at the top of the headposts on the lower deck.

welcome back Sjors. and you know the deal i ll start when you have finished yuor ratlines

welcome Niklas. it is a buildlog but it wil be awhile before i start on her due to other current builds and no room on my workbench as this is a big ship

i have been working a bit on the translation (stil no word from the hoby store )

done 56/216 photo instructions. have i learned anything that i wouldnt get from the photos? only to sand the keel at the front to a sharp point which is not evident from the photos.

thanks David and Randy

yes lookign very much almost finished. for painting those decorations. ly them down on a bit paper toweling adn after painting if there is still some left in between i usualy blow on it to get it out
