Hennie Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share #33 Posted April 3, 2016 Time for the next update. I am not totally satisfied with the deck in front. Its not exactly "horizontal", but it will have to do, cant change it anymore. Happy that its almost invinsible and it doesnt matter for the rest of the build. I am satisfied with the rest of the building progress. Well, I am not a pro like Sjors, but it will do, and whats more important: I enjoy it very much.

Sjors Posted April 4, 2016 Share #34 Posted April 4, 2016 That looks amazing Hennie ! When I take a look at the paint job on the hull ( yellow ) then YOU are the pro, not me !!!!

Hennie Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share #39 Posted April 17, 2016 Time again for the next update! All the guns are on there place and the decks are almost finished (for the time being). All the stairs are done. I bought some black "tule" in town today, so I can start netting the railings.

Hennie Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share #43 Posted April 19, 2016 Hi Sjors, Its just a choice. When I wait till the end, I have to do the drilling and the netting behind all the ropes, which will not be easy at all. The netting is a very precise work. Besides..... I already found out that these railingpins are really strong and not easily bent :D :D I have just to be a bit more carefull. As you can see on the pictures I removed the wooden peaces arround the stairs on the poopdeck, because I destroyed them at least ten times..... Will replace them at the end Hennie Sjors, Elijah and Piet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And several times I cut the the wrong size I have done two nettings now, 5 more to go :D I am glad I didn't do this netting at the end.

Hennie Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share #51 Posted April 28, 2016 Again a small update: I am glad I finished the netting. This material is horrible to work with. Some parts I had to do again, because it didnt fit. Specially the netting on the top deck was difficult, because the sizes at the beginning and at the end are different. But after all, I am quit satisfied how it looks now. Some pictures......... Piet, mobbsie, Harvey and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share #52 Posted April 28, 2016 I just started with the outer hull ladders, the fenders and the chesstrees. After I finished that, I with start with the catheads. And when all goes well, I can start next week with the gunport lids..... But it didnt go well .............. When I counted the lids, I saw I had 4 lids less.........or......................nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Studying the drawings again, I discovered, I prepared too many gunports for lids (poopdeck) :angry: :angry: Two on each side... Well, as we say.....**** happens!! I will have to repare that and hoping it will not be visible........... I am glad I didnt use the brass strips, and I made these strips of wood. Now I can remove them and repair the gunports........
