Le Mirage by Sjors - FINISHED - Corel - Wood - 1:75


Recommended Posts

Shrouds and deadeyes on the second part of the mast are done….all 3 masts  :D  :D  :D  :D

And now it is time again for ratlines….

I know that the deadeyes are not at the same hight , but I'm glad that they are on it !

Racing along now Sjors - not long before you're onto the yards and running rigging. Looking good my friend. :)

 

(Sent from Hong Kong airport, awaiting our final flight home).

The rigging is really looking nice Sjors. More ratlines... more ratlines... more ratlines... more ratlines

WOW .....she is looking spectacular!!!!!!!!

 

If she gets any bigger you'll need a new house.  Although Mobbsie does have a way to display large ships.  Something about a plastic bag.

 

Get these rats finished so we can see some sweeping rigging lines tying her all together.  I can't wait.

Thank you guys…...

 

The mizzen mast has almost her ratlines…...

About 5 to go.

And then the main mast, fore mast.

And then on the main- and foremast there are another level.

And that's the tricky one.

I have drill holes into the cross trees but there is no place to tight them on the lower ratlines…...

There are almost lying at the mast…...

We shall see how we are gonna doing that.

 

@ Patrick,

 

If I listen to you, I don't think that I'm gonna buy Fort Knox….

To dangerous !!!!!

 

@ Ferit,

 

I'm far away from the finish line….

I have to make all the spars and the running rigging and then the bowsprit...

 

 

@ Augie,

 

My house is big enough for 10 more of those small vessels….

Mobbsie is putting the Aggy on the loft….in a plastic bag  :P

I have room enough to show her  :D

 

@ Popeye,

 

You are mis counting…..

still 9 to go…including the bowsprit…... :(

But i'll get there !

 

@ Mick,

 

I'm sorry but I can not follow you on Grant.

Can you put it in other words for me ??

 

@ Randy,

 

I wish that the finish line was in sight…..

It's gonna take a little longer  :P

She is big now, I have to put her on a lower table, or I must stand all the time..

no.......I think I have it right......you've totally ratlined the first steps,  fore,  main,  and mizzen.   you've shrouded the second steps,  fore, main,  and mizzen.   you still need to shroud the third steps on the fore,  and main..........the mizzen won't have any,  and you need to shroud the bow spirit....that's three sets left to do.

 

still..........it's some pretty sweet work your doing :)

Hi Sjors,

 

I'll bring my step ladders over for you when we come.  :D

 

She's growing up to be a very tall lady although I rather fancy you have another name for her. :angry:  :angry:

 

Good job she's a trainer mate, I think your getting all the possible problems in one ship, just think when you come to finish the Ildefonso and Aggy you'll be trouble free. B)  B)  :D  :D

Mobbsie,

 

Don't forget that you are a foot passenger when you are coming  :P

So leave your step ladder at home.

You need it your self when you at the rigging of the Aggy.

I know I give her another name then Mirage…..

And yes, she a learning ship.

I hope I can avoid the mistakes with the other two that is coming.

Nice progress, Sjors.  I think I'll ignore the rest of the conversations for now until I get completely caught up on my reading.
