Thanks Grant and Popeye,

 

@ Grant,

 

Anja and I where talking about you last night, that you where not much on the forum.

Glad to see you back!

Hope everything is all right?

And yes indeed, you can see clearly the difference between the wood  :)

 

@ Popeye,

 

It's fiddly work but when you have one done, the rest goes easier….

3 done and 40 to go…...

Hoi Derek,

 

I think I have to do about 60 or something like that.

I don't want to count them…. ;)

But it looks a lot different when they are on it.

The first row of gunport lids are on the ship  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

The first two pictures shows you the rope that goes into the lid.

Then the other pictures shows you the chainplates and gun port lids on the port side.

Now I have to go to the lower row…...

I don't think that's gonna be today because the garden is shouting for me…..

Thanks Wim, Andy ,John , Patrick and Grant,

 

Thanks guy's  :)

 

@ Andy,

 

I know it is much but can you handle it so many once at the time?

If not please say so…...

 

@ John,

 

Gardening is all ready over  :)

We did the front garden and that is enough…..

So maybe later a few more gun lids.

 

@ Patrick,

 

It looks impressive but with the cotton canon balls it looks like a lion without teeth…. ;)

 

@ Grant,

 

You make me shy.

We are hoping that you are not in a lot of pain.

Take your time and when you are up to date, we see you back at the workshop.

We are happy that we can see you some times at the forum...

Hi Augie & Wayne,

 

@ Augie, we don't do a lot in the garden.

Just removing the weed and then our neighbours invite us for coffee…..

It was nice in the sunshine  :D

Good luck with the snow!

Sjors,

 

Your ship is looking great!  :10_1_10:   

I know it's probably tooo late for my suggestion but I'll say it anyway.....When I did my hatch lines on my HMS Victory bow section, I first used spray starch to stiffen the line before installation.  Then I glued the hatches open and attached the stiffened line thru the hole in the planking and fastened it to the hatch.  That way, each line looks like it is under tension, holding the hatch up.  Maybe yours are working hatches.....Anyway, I know they will look fine, just wanted to document my method in case I forget.  There may be a day when I build something with rigging and hatches again..... :D

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

Thanks Jim,

 

I know what you mean but yes, mine you have to open and close …..

They are open and they stay that way!

I have drilled a hole into the hull and put the wire in it, then a little knot and I pulled it back,

Then a tiny hole into the lid and do the same thing.

It works, only I'm gonna be crazy because a lot of hinges are coming loose…...

It's almost impossible to glue them on to the lid.

But i did the port side.

There all there know…...

Maybe someone else good do it better , but I'm happy with it!

Tomorrow the final pictures of that because it's to dark at the moment.

 

Robbyn,

 

Yes finally pictures  :D

And tomorrow more!

I'm happy that you not wait for nothing  :D

Now you can sleep peaceably again?

Thanks Sherry, Ben, Jim and Popeye,

 

The rigging is slowly coming closer…...

A few more weeks I think 

 

@ Jim, 

 

I try everything but nothing works.

One thing works fine…..take it easy when you are putting them on  :)
