Recommended Posts

Hi Mobbsie my friend ( and Anja's :D )

 

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 :D

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

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 :D

 

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.

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  :D  :D  :D

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

And yes ……with pictures  :D  :D  :D  :D

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.

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

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?

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. :D  :D  :pirate41:
