To answer your question from the other post haha I'm well, been a crazy couple years with my personal life and working away. A fresh start a couple times over now if you know what I mean but have settled enough again to get back into building! Finally! Still working at sea though a little more often now. Im also building a SOTS but the sergal kit with the different- I won't say incorrect stern carvings haha have yet to decide what to do about that... anyway enjoying watching another of your builds.

Sjors Posted March 26, 2017 Author #260 Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks John & Anton, @ John, The builds that are finished are no longer in our house. 2 of them are by the neighbors when we are moving to another city. 2 of the ships are at a kindergarten. They just want to show the children how a sailing ship a long time ago looks. Aggy is still in the house but maybe she goes to my company. They want to put her at the office in the garage. We have to otherwise we have to move again......to a much bigger house. @ Anton, Always good to see you around. I know that life can be in the way. Don't tell me about it...... And still at sea. I'm still on the road I have to take a look if I can find your Sots. I don't see her in your signature.....

DonnRW Posted March 27, 2017 #261 Posted March 27, 2017 Sjors, I became a fan of yours after recently reading through your blog on the Agamemnon, so I had to see your current build...which not surprisingly is stunningly beautiful! With that said, I am curious about your thoughts regarding the model kits of your two recent builds from the two different manufacturers (Cauldercraft/DeAgostini)? While I am sure both are excellent, have there been any noteworthy surprises? Thank you, Donn Piet, Hennie, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote

Sjors Posted March 28, 2017 Author #263 Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Donn, Welcome again To answer your question. I think Caldecraft is a little bit better. With DeAgostini ( parts work ) you've got bamboo as planking wood. I change that right away with the planks from Caldecraft. But the pictures with De Agostini are better then form Caldecraft and at the other hand. The drawings ( 9 sheets with a drawing of everything ) is better from Caldecraft. I think every manufacturer has his own good and not so good things in the kit. I wish that there was a manufacturing that put all good things together. My next build will maybe be something from OcCre. I always love to have 2 builds at the same time. You can change. But with Occre there is a lof of metal parts like gun carriages and gun port lids. When you don't like that you can change that for wooden things. A great example of that is from Theo, he is building the Santissima Trinidad from OcCre. Take a look at his build log ( you have to search for him ) and you will see what I mean. Long story but I hope you understand what I mean.

Sjors Posted April 1, 2017 Author #265 Posted April 1, 2017 A little update. I have make a few decorations and rudder and a lot of tiny stuff ! I need more time with the painting then other things. So it goes really slowly ! DeAgostini has a lot of metal parts that should be painted. Even the little figures but that's for later. At this moment I am putting the wales on. Not a easy task because I have to lie the ship on her side ! I know I have to look forwards but this is at book number 80 ! When you have a big drawing you can see it in advance. But now ? Sometimes I'm thinking.....go in the closet and stay there ! But nope, it has also a little charme.... ( don't know witch one but it looks so nice when i wrote it down ) Enough complaining and pictures !
