HMS Agamemnon 1781 by Hennie - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64

[Hennie]

Well, my first building log!!

I started building my Aggy about 5 years ago, but by several circomstances I stopped building for a few years. For a year now I work every day one my Aggy. Plenty of time (retirement).

I still have to figure out how to attache photos of my Agga. All fotos are 6-8 mb, so far much.

Hi Hennie,

simply resize the photos to lower size. No need to use special tools, even basic free picture viewer (e.g. IrfanView) will do the job. Advantage is you can use there "Batch conversion", so all the photos are processed together with one click, after you preset desired properties. For the web presentation 100% sufficient. Example of the short "How to" :

@Juhu

I tried, but I am a digibeet, so far to complicated for me, but thx anyway for your advice. I found out dat I can use office. Will experiment with that

 

@Elijha

Thx for your kind words!

 

@Sjors

Eeeeh ....masterpiece............

[Beef Wellington]

Ahh, another Agamemnon build to give Sjors some competition.  Beautiful build Hennie.

[Hennie]

Yeeeey...............succes :D

I used office picture manager and it went smoothly.

Here some more pictures!

I finished the lower gundeck today. Cant show pictures because I forgot my camera at my brothers birthday

Will see him again in a few weeks,  so ........patience.............

[Matt Cinnabar]

Very, very nice.

[Piet]

That's looking rather nice Hennie.  Love the transom decorations and your coppering.

 

Cheer,

[Elijah]

[Sjors]

Wow,

Lovely clean build Hennie ,

Will have to do a build with a copper'd hull at some time in the future......makes such a difference to the visual impact of the ship and yours looks perfect.

Thx all for your very kind words. I finished the lower gun deck and I am quit satisfied how it looks. I started with a real challenge today: the prow. Well, the parts didnt fit at all. What's worse, I ruined several parts and had to create them again. I was happy I didn't throw away the peaces off wood I had left.

When I have my camara back ( which I forgot on my brothers birthday) I will take some pictures. But you will have to wait for 2 weeks more .

 

Hennie

[Sjors]

We don't want to wait for 2 weeks !

You are retired so come on, get in that car and collect that camera.

Holland is not that big !

[Hennie]

@ Sjors,

 

Eehh... you are joking?.......

250km drive....

Building Aggy means also PATIENCE            

 

Hennie

[Hennie]

The prow is far done. Now starting with the poopdeck. And what I didn,t expect.... it fitted very well!! :)

So I can start with planking again.

In a few days I will show some pictures from all the work in the past month.

[Eric W]

Hennie, this is an abslutely georgoius build. Nelson was to have said that Agamemnon was always his favorite ship, and you do her real credit.

[Hennie]

@ Eric,

Thx Eric for your kind commend

As promissed some pictures...........

 

 

[WackoWolf]

Beautiful work. Nelson would be proud.

[Hennie]

Again a small update. Its going slow, but....  its going :D

 

And a few more pictures.......

 

 

 

[Elijah]

She's looking fantastic! Slow is better than nothing!

[Klaas]

Such a magnificent ship, and you're making her look majestic and gorgeous. Beautiful job.

John

[Piet]

Nice going Hennie, marvelous pics.

 

 

[Hennie]

@ Elijah

You are right, slow is no problem as long as its going well and it all fits!

 

@Klaas

Thx Klaas. Cant wait to see your Aggy.

 

@ John

Thx John for your kind words. I do my best and its my biggest hobby. I dont know if its correct English but I put my soul in it if you know what I mean.

 

@ Piet

Thx Piet. I try to make as many pictures as possible. I myself follow almost all Aggy buildinglogs. And all these pictures kept me from making the biggest mistakes. And these pictures are also very important because not everything is to find back at the drawing sheets.

[Hennie]

Time for the next update.

I finished planking. Just oiled the last deck. The wooden parts arround the stairs were difficult. You have only to look at it and it drops apart. Feels like playing with firematches. Wile planking I had to refix these parts about 10 times....

Again some pictures:

 

 

[Sjors]

Great job again Hennie,

 

Soon you will be passing me     

 

Sjors

[alde]

A magnificent build Hennie. You do her justice.

[Hennie]

@Sjors

Well Sjors, if you make some more mistakes with the rigging and you have to re-do it all again, I might be.... :D :D

 

@Al, thx all, I do my best

 

Hennie

[Elijah]

She's looking great Hennie! I love the wheel!
