Hello fellow MSW-shipbuilders,

 

Thank you for your concerns and your compassion. The past few weeks there were no updates because I was in hospital for the past 5 weeks for treatment with new medications. unfortunately the medications do not give the desired results so i think I have to stay 'in prisson' for at least 5 weeks again for other treatment.

Please know that I am not directly physical in danger and I will survive this (again). I am a very sane person but depression is haunting me for all my life. Sometimes the pain is unbearable for me and my family and so I stay searching new ways to survive this and make life a little more worth living.

 

Hope you all have fun building and remember me cause I'll be back...... ;)

Good to hear from you Kees. We won't run away, so we'll be waiting upon your return. Take care of yourself and your family first!

Hi Kees

 

I echo everyone's thoughts.  Having suffered from the same thing in the past, I know what you're going through  Focus on the light at the end of the tunnel; because it is there.  

 

Take care and you'll be back on deck in no time.

Hi Kees - Patricks advice gained from his experience mirror mine. Sometimes a bit of company to the end of the tunnel helps. Just know all the guys here are on the journey with you - pete

Happy Birthday Kees

Kees,

 

Van harte gefeliciteerd (happy birthday) I second what Pete wrote. Hope to see you soon finishing your trawlers.

Hello fellow modelship builder.

 

I am happy to inform You they kicked me out of hospital since yesterday.

 

After I was caught building a small plastic modelkit in the cleaning closet I got my first warning. Begging the nurses for medical bits and pieces like surgical knifeblades, medicationpots and other stuff for the hobby gave me the second and when the team of doctors discovered my hobbylathe and drillpress under the bed they send me home the same day for being incorrigible.

 

Now I have to continue with the medicine I started in hospital and in 2 months I have to dicide how to move on. But I am very happy to be home with my wife and kids again.

At the moment I am still weak and very tired but I hope to find some time and energy to start building my ships again

 

Kind regards, Kees

The hobby is strong in you Kees. I don't know about the incorrigable, you must have been driven (or bored). Modelling is a good way to keep the mind bussy. The doctors probably thought you strong enough.

 

Good to have you back at the table!!!

 

Cheers

Carl

Mate they probably kicked you out because they thought you were setting up shop to give them some competition in the surgery department :-)  Welcome back Kees

Hi Kees,

 

Take care of yourself!

 

btw: We sailed from IJmuiden to Newcastle last week, and I spotted Pelikaan in the buitenhaven of IJmuiden.

She almost looked like your model (only  more dirt and rust, and way oversized :) )

With respect to the hull colour: even in life size, the colour is changing with the sunlight. Difficult to describe, and I think that even with the colour-code right, it will not look like the real thing....

That is too cool. What type of sail boat do you have?

Hello people from MSW

 

After some radiosilence I hope to continue this buildingreport. I can't promise updates every week but my goal is to start building again in a slow but steady pase.

 

After my time in hospital I had no energy to do anything and the models were collecting dust and so did the hobbyroom. So when I found some motivation again to do anything I dicided to clean the room first but that got out of hand a little. Because my medical conditions I had to work very slow and it took me lots of time to do everything but last weeks I finished 'cleaning'. All the tools have their own place now in the new toolcabinet I made and instead of heaps of tools and bulks of junk I have now a beautifull new workplace for the heavier jobs. Also the 'gates of the cave' got a re-styling with some nautical objects I collected over the years and I created more space in the hobbyroom by replacing a big wooden desk for a smaller cabinet on wheels (for the lathe).

Hi Kees

 

A good clear out and tidy up always makes me feel better - almost like a new begining. I hope it makes you feel the same. I hope you start feeling much better soon - your skills are missed.

Hi Kees

 

It's great to see you back posting again. Your work station looks really nicely set up now.

 

Hopefully it won't be too long before you're back building again.

 

All the best!

 

Patrick
