Fantastic progress Hennie.  She's looking impressive.

 

Cheers,

[Hennie]

@B.E and @Piet

Thank you both :)

 

A small update....

The first yard (and the biggest one) is in his place. Just like Sjors I used a brass pin to put it on the mast in the first place. When using the ropes to put the yard against the main mast, I will damage the whole thing. I only have two hands, so thats almost impossible. I will use ropes later.

 

Some pictures....

 

 

[Sjors]

Nice !!!!

[Hennie]

Thx Sjors

 

I am half way with the yards now. The rest of the yards will be easier.

 

Some pictures..........

 

 

[Sjors]

Nice!

[Hennie]

Thx Sjors,

And as promissed an update. All (boom)yards are in there place now, so I started with the last piece of rigging. This will take a few month, I guess....

 

Some pictures...........

[Hennie]

No update this sunday. I have to redo some rigging because I am not satisfied how it looks now. I have also to do some repairs. Its almost impossible not damaging something, because there is no room left for my big hands

Absolutely beautiful, Hennie. A pleasure to watch. 

[Hennie]

@Eric,

Thx Eric for your kind words

 

And finally an update;

I FINISHED MY AGGY!!!!!

She is not on her place yet. I ordered a mahogany shelf and 4 bronze dolphins to put her on. Those things have to come from Italy, so it will take a while. But when she is in het final place, I will take more pictures.

Masterpiece.

Congrats....gonna miss your Aga......

[Hennie]

Thank you all for for your very kind words. Feels a bit sad... She kept me busy for over 6 years (with some breaks), but the last 2 years it was a daily job. But........I already ordered my dreamship which I always wanted to build one time: The Sovereign of the Seas (from Mantua/Sergal). When all goes well, this kit will arrive this month and than you are all welcome on my new building log.

[Hennie]

Hi all,

 

First of all, thx for all the kind words!

 

After six years my Aggy finally found her way home....

I want to thank you all for all the commends and advices and of course all the likes! I am still waiting for my next project, the Sovereign of the Seas (Sergal). When all goes well, it should arrive this week, but I am afraid it will take some more time. Looks if they send my order to the planet Saturnus.....

 

As promised some pictures. As you can see, I did some repairs. I fixed that nasty angle in the top stay.

 

[Mirabell61]

Beautiful build Hennie,

 

congrats to this fine model...

She looks absolutely stunning Hennie, that sideboard she sits on really does make her stand out. Can I ask how the dolphin mounts are placed, does the aggy just rest on them or are they fixed to her?

 

kind regards

[Hennie]

@Nils

@Terry

Thank you Terry and yes, she just rests on the dolphins.

[BETAQDAVE]

Your hands may seem too big , but you obviously have a fine touch!

[Sjors]

Wow,

 

Really great with the Dolphins !

And what a nice place to show her.......

When you are coming next sunday, I will cover my Aggy
