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

[Sjors]

Thanks you all for your improvement     

I'm happy you like it !

And the other cable is used for the anchors when ever they come on  the ship….. ( a few months maybe )

 

[augie]

Another vote for a BIG improvement.

[gjdale]

Yep, big improvement Sjors. Well done for doing the re-do!

[Micklen32]

Much much better Sjors   

Coming along leaps and bounds now

It's a very posh looking ship, a little unlike what you think an out and out warship should look like

Especially the parts of the masts I think of as crows nests

I am not sure what the correct name is   

 

Keep it up   

Mick

[Sjors]

Thanks Grant and Mick,

 

@ Mick,

 

What do you mean about the crows nest?

Its a warship.

 

[riverboat]

Much better Sjors...... like Andy says, save the old one for your anchors.

@ Mecheleir,

 

Thanks!

Sjors,

 

If you're happy with it, I think we'll be happy with it.  Nice work, sir.  Well done!

[Sjors]

Thank you Mark,

 

I'm happy with it .

And now I can go on with the back mainstay….and I take the same rope for that!

Just a question….a futtock stave has to be round?

Or can I just leave it…...

 

[rdsaplala]

I think the original main stay looks OK Sjors, but this new one looks even better, excellent redo Sir!

[Sjors]

Thank you Aldo       

 

I like this also.

It's better then the other one.

I'm now busy with the other one….

 

[popeye the sailor]

the redo does look better Sjors....very nicely done.

[patrickmil]

Great progress Sjors! I thought your last stay looked good, but your redo is looking even better.

[Sjors]

Thanks Popeye and Patrick,

 

Starting with work again on monday…...

So not so much building anymore 

And before I can get retiring that take a few years…..

Hello Sjors, sorry for the lack of pictures lately, but internet access has been a challenge.  I'm still in that situation, so pictures will be delayed.  Work....sorry....

[Micklen32]

Thanks Grant and Mick,

 

@ Mick,

 

What do you mean about the crows nest?

Its a warship.

 

What I mean is Sjors :-

That your crows nests look like holiday homes compared to mine

And mine isn't a warlike vessel, it's a survey vessel with a few guns stuck on as an afterthought

Yours has more guns in the captains cabin than mine has all over

And my crows nests are a network of logs up there to hold the ratlines and any idiot seaman that wants to take his life in his hand

There will be lines of people waiting to go up to yours

The bosun will be there beating them back with a CoNT

[augie]

Only 2 pages to go to establish the new all-time MSW record.  Keep rigging

[Sjors]

Hi John,

 

I can wait ( If it is not to long ) 

 

@ Mick,

 

You mean they are so big…and no railing.

I think the designer want to do it this way.

So I make them this way…...

 

@ Augie,

 

Hopefully I get my chains tomorrow and can do the shrouds and deadeyes tomorrow afternoon on the fore mast.

 

 

 

[trippwj]

Good afternoon, Sjors!  Saw all the update messages so figured i would check in - alas, no new pictures, but lots of crows feet and waiting for parts.  Oh, well.  At least there is still some popcorn available!

 

Hmmm...45 more posts until the next promotion - think number 3,000 will put you over to page 112???

 

Glad you are doing better, but sorry to hear your boss expects you to now report to work!

 

have a great day....

[Sjors]

Hi Wayne,

 

Thanks…..the build is stopped for a moment.

All I can do now is numbering the parts for the Aggy     

And yes, monday on the bus again 

But for two weeks 50 % , so when I be back home, some building ( if I'm not to tiered )

We shall see how it goes.

 

[Børge]

I have re-do the mainstay and now I can called it mainstay !

I think it's a improvement instead of that cable that it was first.

So please, tell me what you think about it.

 

 

Hi Sjors

 

Exellent fix my friend, that looks very nice now...

Wow, I finally made it to the end  Now if I can just keep up.

I couldn't remember where I got lost, so just decided to start on page one.

What a wild ride of 110 pages of fun.

The smaller rope is a definite improvement on the stay.

Now to catch up on the San Ildefonso also.

Glad to see you feeling better even if it means getting back to work.

[Sjors]

Morning all,

 

@ Børge,

 

Thank you very much !

 

@ Keith,

 

Welcome to a fun build log where is a build going on….

It takes you a few hours but then you've got something

And don't go away for a week !

Then you missed a lot !

 

 

[Sjors]

I 'll be waiting for my parts that hopefully arrived today so i can go further with the shrouds, deadeyes and lanyards for the fore mast, I have make the other main stay.

You have to do something !

So again a few pictures.
