Nice job with the cleaning up Sjors!

Your workshop is something to dream about when I sit at my kitchen table waving off cats and kids...

 

But you should quit smoking...

[popeye the sailor]

great set-up Sjors.

[Beef Wellington]

Great pictures Sjors, Mirage looks very impressive...and your workspace is very nice too.

[Sjors]

Hello Girl and Boys…..

 

Everybody thanks for dropping in.

About the smoking….

It's the same as they told me I can not drinking coffee anymore, building on a ship.

Those things are not happening!

So I still light up a cigarette!

 

[popeye the sailor]

....and right before your eyes too!  that's why my ash tray is on my desk,  and my build tables are on the other wall.   it's a good way to cut down.

[john46]

That is for sure a very nice gift Sjors. You give each others presents where you both have the benefit from. Very smart

 

Regards,

John

[trippwj]

That, sir Sjors, is one beautiful gift!!!!

[Sjors]

You've got it John 

 

But man, that is not cheap…...

I can now work till I'm 70 to pay this..

This looks morfe like a (very friendly) chat room rather than a build log.

 

So am I right to think that Sjors is facing some major difficulty with his chain plates?  He thinks that the nice thing to do is unglue them from the hull and placing them higher up?  But he fears that this would leave a rather obvious scar on the hull.

 

So am I right to think that the real problem is that the shrouds would not run freely from the plates to the mast top?  If that is the case, wouldn't it be feasable to just glue a strip on the chain plate, just to make it larger and keep the shrouds away from the hull?

 

Maybe I am completely wrong, but this idea came up as I am just facing the opposite problem on my model (Dutch Whaler), wher the chain plates are too wide to my taste, and too high on the hull.  Luckily nothing is glued yet in my case.

 

I hope I helped to bring this build log a little on target

I also think that this forum is to split poblema making models of ships

beautiful set of tools Sjors, i can see the darkside roaming around the corner:-)

 

welcome home my friend, i trust you had a pleasant trip, now we want pics of you travel:-)

[Sjors]

Hi Aldo,

 

The dark side is still away….

And the pictures are in general discussions by the topic: visit Mobbsie.

There you see all the pictures!

 

 

[mtaylor]

Sjors,

You were missed.  It's good to hear you are back home safe and sound. Also it's good to hear that London's buses are still in London.  So when do we see some pictures of your Le Mirage???  Just kidding the ship pictures.  I know you are busy.

[Sjors]

Thanks Mark,

 

I missed you guy's to!

I want to take one of those buses at home but Anja not allowed me 

And about the Mirage…….

I have rising the chainplates and attach a few chains…..

Tomorrow I shall make a picture of it!

Promised!!!!!!

 

[Sjors]

Here are the promised pictures of the chainplates and chains.

Maybe it is still not perfect but I keep it this way.

So 4 more to go…..

[popeye the sailor]

sand up some mahogany,  mix with white glue,  to fill those holes Sjors.   you did a nice job......very little damage.  tell Anja to kiss you on the forehead for me 

[Shazmira]

Looking good Sjors, a little putty and no one but you will ever know!

[augie]

Wonderful, Sjors.  This should put your mind at ease. 

 

Carry on!

[Sjors]

Great recovery Sjors, this should give you satisfaction afterall.

Hi John,

 

I'm glad that i have done the port side.

Now I have to go to the starboard side …..

 

sand up some mahogany,  mix with white glue,  to fill those holes Sjors.   you did a nice job......very little damage.  tell Anja to kiss you on the forehead for me 

Thanks Popeye,

 

I will see what I can do with it.

I ask Anja for that kiss but she only wants to give me a kiss on the …….

 

 

 

Looking good Sjors, a little putty and no one but you will ever know!

Thanks Robbyn,

 

I almost give it up but when you don't work on the ship for a few days, it goes better.

But thanks for the head up 

 

[Sjors]

I'm carry on Augie,

 

Is it ok when I'll do that tomorrow?

I can replace the first strouds ( I hope ).

And then I go to the other side…..

 

[riverboat]

Nice work Sjors.... looks good!!

Frank

[Sjors]

Thanks Frank,

 

Did you work on your ship today?

As what you promised to Mobbsie yesterday…..

 

[trippwj]

Nice job on the channels and chainplates - they look very good!

[Sjors]

Thanks Wayne,

 

Maybe tomorrow i can do the other side ( If I want to ).

I join the others, Sjors: nice job on your chainplates move!   If there were not the holes one could not know they were somewhere else before! I think, as Popeye said, that a few wood dust-glue mix should work well.

[mtaylor]

Nice fix on the channels and chainplates.  As for the holes.... cannonball holes?     

[Dan Vadas]

That looks MUCH better Sjors - now, aren't you glad I "bullied" you into changing them?  :D
