Hi Mobbsie my friend ( and Anja's )

 

Thanks for dropping in.

Take some coffee……( If the admiral don't give you)

You have your wood already?

If you have enough, save some for me

Sjors,

 

Nice to have some time to view things.  In a few weeks we will be moving out so the remodelers can start....my wife wants some major changes.  We will find another place to stay as pretty soon all the winter residents will be heading back north.

I do hope to start or I should say finish, the R E Lee in our next residence...wherever it is.  In the meantime, I'll just be watching everyone else's fun!

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

Nice to see your update Sjors, she's looking mighty fine! Can't wait to see your start on the rigging......

[Trussben]

Excellent update Sjors, looking mighty fine and very large!

Hi Jim,

 

Just take your time.

We entertain you when it's needed…...

When you are back on track with your new home everything will come together.

 

Thanks Grant,

 

Starting the rigging…...

I just find out that the masts are 3 storages high ,so that's gonna be a lot of ratlines!

Maybe when I am almost at the end, I like it

 

Thanks Ben,

Yes, she is large.

But real fun!

For a few months she was in storage and I think that that was not to bad.

Now I'm enjoying again building on her.

Hey Sjors,

 

I thought to stop by for bakkie leut and a koekie and say hello.  Very nice work my friend!  The planking looks great from here, seems you are catching on.  Everything looks just peachy.

 

Cheers,

 

 

[augie]

Avast mate.  We will get you through the rat lines.  After all, it was your 'encouragement' that got me through mine

[Sjors]

Good morning Piet,

 

Your bakkie leut and koekie are on the table…..

Help your self 

Thanks for the good words.

 

Augie,

 

Thanks you for helping me out with the ratlines.

When I'm on that stage, I remind you to give me some encouragement…...

Hi Sjors,

 

Just catching up, wow! you've made a lot of progress my friend, she looks gorgeous, everything is beautifully done, fittings, armament and decorations are perfect! she's almost ready to launch

[Sjors]

Thanks Aldo,

 

Glad to see you back again my friend.

I've missed you ( and not only me)!

Greetings and a big hug from Anja

Still no time for the shipyard?

We will wait for the updates when you have them 

 

[augie]

Hey Sjors....... a gentleman posted some nice photos of his Le Mirage on the gallery today.  I was noticing that there seem to be a LOT of ratlines.

 

Better get cracking  

[Sjors]

Hi Augie,

 

Did you find all the eggs that is hide in your workshop?

And easter is very quit here.

Just a little bit building.

 

I've seen that Mirage.

The same kit but totally different.

He did a good job on her.

When the time is there to do the ratlines I'll be asking for your help     

 

[Sjors]

After a hard day of work it's good to post some progress.

And yes ……with pictures       

I make the bowsprit and attach him.

It looks great ( I think)

The part that goes up was a little bit tricky so i put a dowel in it. sand it and use some filler so you don't see a hole or something like that.

Enough talking and picture time.

 

[mobbsie]

Hi Sjors,

 

If I didnt know any better I'd say you were giving us the bird.

 

Very well done mate, I know that bit was worrying you but you done good.

 

Keep it up and sorry to hear your back at work.

Hope you didn't eat too much eggs?

Nice pictures you've made of a beatifull ship.

Cannot wait for the rigging;).

[augie]

Bowsprit looks great!  Glad to see you using that Dremel table  

[realworkingsailor]

I think I agree with Mobbise on that one....

 

 

Anyway, she looks great. Keep it up

Hello Sjors,

 

It looks very nice so far.

[john46]

Again a great job Sjors. It looks a very delicate job.

[newbuilder101]

She's really looking great Sjors! The bowsprit is super! Every bit you add brings her more to life. (more, more more)

[casper1961]

It's a rino-ship! LOL  Looks great...keep up the good work!

[Adrieke]

very nice Sjors

 

looks delicate so be carefull not to bump her into anythign

[Trussben]

Nice work Sjors, you will have to be VERY careful reaching around her now.

 

Ben

[mtaylor]

I'm just catching up with your Le Mirage, Sjors.  She looks really great with all the guns and ornamentation.  

[gjdale]

Mighty fine looking bow sprit there Sjors. Just be careful when Anja says "Honey, just pass me the ...." Oops.....

[patrickmil]

Hey Sjors, that bowsprit looks awesome! She will be ready to sail in no time and then look out! With her and your San Ildefonso you will be a force to be reckoned with; especially if you are adding an Agamemnon to your fleet. I do have one question however.... How do you get a British, French and Spanish ship to work together peacefully in your fleet?

[mobbsie]

If may be so bold as to answer that Patric, it's quite simple really.

 

The French and Spanish ships capitulated to the British and Sjors is hiring them.

[popeye the sailor]

nawwww....he just keeps them in separate dry docks!   if he didn't they might share ideas,  and it would bend history...........we'd all have to change the way we think of these ships............mixed influences........oh my!!!

 

nice work on the bow spirit........it looks great!

Mobbsie, LAMO!!! I've only built US and Canadian ships so I have no trouble with joint exercises.
