San Ildefonso by Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:70


Recommended Posts

@ Grant,

 

I want to do something else then the rigging…

And how sooner I'm at the ratlines, how better.

I have now the feeling how to do it and I want to hold that tight…..

The rigging for the Le Mirage will continue but not for now.

 

@ Popeye,

 

You where asking in a previous post about the San Ildefonso ,so I thought I go back to her  :D

That a few cannons are in the way, it's not a problem……

I was looking for the best place to put on the chainplates and i think this is it.

When there are lanyards in the way , then it is a spare cannon  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P

 

@ Adam,

 

Thank you very much.

You give me to much credits.

The only thing that I can do is my best and each time it goes better !

If you want to do this ship, I think you have a problem then.

She is not at the open market  :(

But there are a lot of other decorative and colourful ships for sale.

First the masts and then the ratlines again  :D , just love it !

 

@ Andy,

 

I hold my horses…….bon voyage  ;)

Popeye,

 

It's not that bad that i see ratlines in my dreams….

I only see two finished ships  :D  :D  :D

When I have done the shrouds and ratlines of the San Ildefonso, I go back to the mirage……

And when those two are finished, maybe , and I say maybe, I go to the Aggy !

That's an idea Popeye…..

Sending it to you.

But I think that the shipping cost are to high for me  :P  :P  :P

So I'll do it by myself ( if you don't mind of course )

Thanks Mobbsie and Grant,

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

I'm glad that i have a drill for doing the holes…..if I have to do it by hand, it was to much  :P  :P

 

@ Grant,

 

So these things are calling tops…..

And it's indeed a pleasant change from the rigging.

That's why I'm doing it  :D

Those tops are looking real nice Sjors  :)

They look quite similar to yours I think

Not sure I have quite as many though  :P

that's the beauty in doing two builds.........one you could be rigging......the other you could be sawing wood.   you get the best of both worlds.   of course.......if you threw in the Aggie......there'd also be a slice of heaven!

Sjors, I see some ratlines in your near future for this ship as well. Great work with your progress.

Thanks,

Nice work on the tops Sjors.  Are they to be painted or left natural with stain?

Thank you all that you like what I'm doing.

 

@ Mick,

 

I have only those three.

That's enough, how many do you have ?

 

@ Popeye,

 

If I begins with the Aggy, then it is also wood and not rigging  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P

Even if some builders are thinking that I work on her……

 

@ Patrick,

 

I think the ratlines are still far away.

I have found out that the masts on the top are squire…..

And it take some time to do that.

 

@ Randy,

 

That's the reason I have two builds.

If I have enough of the rigging, I go to wood working.

I only has to be careful that I'm not with this one also at the stage of the rigging…..

If it is, then I have to ships at the same level and both rigging.

 

@ Augie,

 

Good question,

 

On the manual they are saying that I have to plank the tops.

But when I look at other builds, they are all black painted.

Also the part of the mast that goes to the mast gap.

So I'll be following that.

I think that it looks better.

I don't do varnish or paint at the masts.

It's a nice difference then……

The masts stays sappily wood.

I did paint my tops black after planking but I left the masts and spars natural.  I like the effect.  I'm not sure what the 'official' method is.  As we say, 'You're the Captain' (in this case Rear Admiral).

Augie,

 

I don't know it also what is "official"

Maybe someone else can give the answer?

But at different builds with those tops, are black.

So I will do the same.

And for the planking is all ready to late….

Otherwise I have to remove everything and that is one ting I don't want to do that !

I like it the way it fits now.

I just want to do that Augie.

 

Bad idea?????

 

Looks nice, Sjors. 

 

I think if you used the masonry drill bit you could probably complete all 60 holes in one shot - of course, they would look like one big hole, but I doubt anyone would notice!
