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

[augie]

Really looks nice with that all white background.

 

Carry on!

[themadchemist]

Congratulations on the parts recieved. Waiting is always bad but even worse when you need the part as the next step.

 

I got behind several months ago while under the weather and have been trying to dig my way out of a whole every since. I went nearly 4 weeks without being able to read MSW and got so far behind, that catching up has been near impossible.

I luckily found the "view last unread" button finally and now know where to restart, which makes things much easier, glad I found that button

[trippwj]

Glad you got that delivery, Sjors!  You are really doing a great job with the rigging. 

[popeye the sailor]

looking good Sjors.........a few more lines,  and then she will start to look busy!

[Sjors]

Hello all,

 

There we go again answering every one 

 

@ Jim,

 

Thank you and yes, every time when there is a little progress, Aggy is coming       

 

@ Aldo,

 

Thanks, but don't look that closely 

 

@ Patrick,

 

I wish she had all the rigging lines…..

Everything is now gonna sit in the way.

Get a few gun port lids from the hull     

Fix them again but…..Yep that !

 

@ Augie,

 

That's on a closet, I want to see if there is space enough for her so she has a place to stay and a clean table…...    

 

@ Keith,

 

Thanks, I looks if it take ages before the stuff is arriving, but it takes only 3 days…...

Just take your time with catching up all those progress in the builds.

Not to slow otherwise you don't come there !

 

@ Wayne,

 

Thanks again.

But what I'm saying to Aldo….don't look to close !!!!!

 

@ Popeye,

 

She's already busy !

Or my hands are to big !

 

[riverboat]

Look'n real good Sjors, ......... now, which one is this?, it's getting hard to keep track!!

Looks very good Sjors. 

[newbuilder101]

Looks great Sjors...........and there's actually a ship on this build log! Funny thing is, this one is supposed to be the mirage.      :D

[Shazmira]

She looks like a true ship Sjors!!

[Sjors]

@ Robert,

 

Thank you   

 

@ Sherry,

 

Thanks also !

I know that there is a log here….

I'll do my best to keep it this way and not a mirage     

 

@ Frank,

 

When this build comes to an end, I can make a book of it   

 

@ Robbyn,

 

Thank you also.

How is your ratlines going?

[Ferit]

We are thankful to you Sjors,

You answer the words of your 5-6 followers in one post...

If no, this Log will have reached 300th page...

I have no chance as you have,  it's impossible to miss your answers for your constant followers... 

Me, if I answer without the quote button, I am afraid of that it will be not read...

 

BTW, Le Mirage is looking very nice...

What are you thinking about the sails?!...

[Sjors]

Morning Ferit,

 

I found it easier to answer everyone in one post then everyone separately.

I think when I do everyone separate , they can missed an answer.

And I don't like to quote it because it's to crowd on the page.

This reads much easier.

Thanks for your kind words about the Mirage.

She has no sails and I don't want to place them.

When i place the sails, a lot of the rigging will be lost.

And that's a shame for all the work I have done.

 

 

[Ferit]

Then, what about wrapped sails, relatively not crowded view?...

[Sjors]

That's a possibility but I don't have sails in the kit.

And I'm not that good with a sewing machine……or with thread and needle…...

 

[Sjors]

I have done a little bit more.

The shrouds, deadeyes and lanyards are attach to the fore mast.

Now I can go back to the ratlines again….

And no, I have not count them       

 

[Ferit]

Great...

But, you have to tell to the crew who will climb to top about the gap... 

 

And every time I hear from you about a thing that you mention you are not good and after I see the result, I realize that you don't say the truth...

[Stockholm tar]

Or just place a sign – Mind the Gap! (Sjors has probably heard this if he's travelled on the London tube)

 

You're doing a good job on Mirage Sjors, very neat. Can you tell me though, when this book comes out, can I buy it through Amazon? I think it would make good bedtime reading – I'd be asleep in no time!

[rdsaplala]

Ratlines are coming along very nicely, Sjors, splendid work!

[trippwj]

Very nice work on the various fiddly pieces of string!  Now about those new clothes....

[augie]

Wow, Ferit has a good pair of eyes and attention to detail.  Henceforth, all my photos will be taken by candle light 

[Script]

So now there's a chance the ratlines are all just a mirage........... :o

[src]

Sjors, I go away for a few days. come back to a celebration and string everywhere!! looks good.

ummm.......Whats a "Gasbag"?? 

Sam

[Sjors]

@ Ferit,

 

I know that there is a gap…...

The rope came loose and I don't want to turn the ship the whole time.

When I'm doing that side then there is a ratline coming !

But thanks for your observation….

Augie is right, next time pictures with candle light         

 

@ Kester,

 

Thanks.

When there is a book coming, I let you know.

Or just ask your wife to sing a lullaby …...

 

@ Aldo,

 

Thank you very much ! 

 

@ Wayne,

 

What or which clothes…...

I only have my uniform…..

 

@ Jim,

 

believe me or not, but those ratline are there for real.

Or the pain in my back is telling something different 

 

@ Sam,

 

Welcome back then !

And thank you.

You have to ask Augie what that is or Andy…..

If you ask it I can read there answer       

 

[mobbsie]

Kester, if I may suggest that if you having sleeping difficulties then you go and see the Doctor, if you buy Sjors book you'll be awake all night smiling and laughing.

 

I love a build log that has a social fringe as well as the ship itself, GO SJORS AND THE GANG OF GASBAGS.

 

mobbsie

[Micklen32]

Coming along nicely Sjors

The ratlines are looking real good

Keep up the great work   

[Ferit]

It's easy for me to say one thing which doesn't match than to count one by one all things which are good or beautiful... 

And there are unnumbered nice pieces in your build...

I know it's impossible that you were not aware of this little gap, but this was the other way to say that except this little gap, all is near perfect and your build is improving nicely... 

[popeye the sailor]

oh...oh Sjors.......you missed a stitch!    not a biggie.......just add one in    fore mast shrouds look great!   at least,  my friend......we are doing our shrouds together 

[Stockholm tar]

@ Kester,

 

Thanks.

When there is a book coming, I let you know.

Or just ask your wife to sing a lullaby …...

 

Sjors,

 

I'll look out for it, but it doesn't look as if it'll be any time soon!

 

Re. my wife singing me lullabies, she does enough of that already - when SHE is asleep!

 

 

Kester, if I may suggest that if you having sleeping difficulties then you go and see the Doctor, if you buy Sjors book you'll be awake all night smiling and laughing.

mobbsie

Mobbsie,

 

I suppose reading the book, while my wife is singing me 'lullabies' (see note to Sjors above) might solve the problem.

 

Btw, the phrase in capitals a sounds a great title for the said book! 

[Sjors]

Thanks Mick, Ferit, Popeye and Kester.

 

@ Mick,

 

I'm still at the ratlines….

Tomorrow the first side of the foremast is ready and then I can go to the other side….

 

@ Ferit,

 

When you see that little gap I know that you placed attention to the build.

For me it's a great compliment! THANKS !!!!!!

 

@ Popeye,

 

When I go working on the other side I shall take care of it , It should be the first thing that I do !

Cosy isn't it…together on the shrouds       

 

@ Kester,

 

Anja is always singing for me……or was it the radio?

I don't know...

 

[capnharv2]

My singing isn't too bad-as long as the radio is loud enough to drown me out
