Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Anja & Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - Scale 1:46

[Kevin]

lovely to see an update Sjors, shame that the kit is not up to a standard that we expect from them, i am back heavily into the rigging to try and get her completed before 2019, hope you are both well

[Sjors]

Hello Kevin,

 

I think when you have one kit from Caldecraft you stay with them.

I have build now 4 or 5 OcCre kits but this time it is very bad!

I’ll be waiting for the Victory that is designed by Chris Watton.

And i will get the Smit Rotterdam from Billing Boats.

That one is just for the reason that there is no rigging,cannons and other saling things 😜

I have seen that you are at the rigging stage....

It takes a while but it looks great!

its nice to get back into the build,after doing other things for a while, The HMS Fife consumed quite a lot of my time, but after 7 years the Victory has to be finished, especially after ordering my next build

[popeye the sailor]

too bad the kit is terrible Sjors.........I'm sure you can make her into a wonderful model though      in every person,  there is a scratch builder just waiting to come out!  she's looking great so far!

[Ulises Victoria]

In spite of the bad quality of the kit, you are doing a very good job. Keep on it!!!

 

Best wishes, my friend.

 

[Sjors]

Small update again.

 

 

Few things on the deck are on it.

She's got het first teeth......

For the rest it goes very slowly!

Just read the entire log. Nice work so far but to bad Anja couldn't continue. She was off to a very good start!

 

How's the overall quality of the kit? I don't have any experience with Occre only Artesania Latina (AL)  Occre and Artesania Latina share the same history so I think it should be fine? 

 

good luck with the masts, yards and all the rigging you are about to do next.....She is a very big ship to rigg!

 

regards,
Peter

 

 

 

[popeye the sailor]

[marktiedens]

Sjors!! How did I miss this one?? I would blame Anja for not inviting me but Sean has already blamed you for not telling him. Ill just have to say I have been away too long and missed too many great builds.

You are doing a fine job with a kit as bad as everyone says it is. It is a testament to your skill that she looks as good as she does.

[Sjors]

Thanks all for the nice comment and the likes.

 

@Peter,

 

Anja is to busy with other stuff.

Maybe in the future she will do a build again.

But not a big one anymore.

In the past I had better kits from OcCre then this one.

A lot of metal parts,mesurements that are not correct(to small).

A lot of things you can not find on the drawing or they are not there.

So you have to figure it out by your self.

The rigging should not be no problem because i has do the rigging of big ships before like the San Ildefonso OcCre, Le Mirage Corel and the Agamemnon Caldecraft. 

There are links in my signature.

 

A Denis,

 

Thank you😀

 

@Mark Tiedens

 

The rigging will take a while because i have to calculate how much rope i need.

I will order new rope at Morope.

If you want to see the quality ,take a look at the Agamemnon.

I use that rope there also.

 

 

@Mark,

 

Also thanks

 

@Sam,

 

You are welcome at this build.

But you can only blame your self😝🤣😇

Don’t stay away that long! 

I just save some klompen for you 🤣

And i just want to finish the Nuestra and go quick to another build!

First of all....the best wishes for the new year and stay healthy!

 

A small update.

Did some rigging at the bowsprit and make the stays and crowfeet.

Also make the shrouds at the fore mast.

Next thing......ratlines.......

 

Sjors

 

 

[Sjors]

Again a little update.

I have make the shrouds for the lower mizzen-, main,- and foremast.

I also started with the ratlines on the foremast .

I have no rope anymore for the ratlines so that has to wait for a few days before I can go on.

I ordered new rope and maybe at the end of the week I wil have it.

Hi Sjors,

 

Nice rigging so far😀

[Sjors]

Small update....

 

All the shrouds and ratlines at the lower fore,- , main,- , and mizzenmast are done.

All black so that was not so easy to see it all.

Next stop....the upper parts 🙂

Thanks for the likes and everyone who is visiting from time to time.

 

Ratlines are done!

I can not see any ratline for a while now.....

I don't count them but there are a lot.

Pictures are a little bit bad because she is to big to get het in one shot....
