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

[popeye the sailor]

now I'm curious........what DOES a yard flower look like?

[Sjors]

@ Jim,

 

Thank you   

 

@ Robbyn,

 

Why should I take that as an insult?

It's the true!

We are learning form our mistakes, that's why we do more then one build.

You want to improve your self all the time.

I think that the Syren and the Aggy singing the same song 

 

@ Andy,

 

Sorry that I was using your name for something that Augie was saying.

But just what Augie said, all North American sounds the same       

No worries with the ping pong bat.

The vases are under the table and I only use cotton balls 

I bought Anja once flowers a year of 8 ago and the whole day she looks suspicious at me why I give her flowers........

That was the last time.

 

@ Frank,

 

Thank you !

A avatar is just like clothes...you have to change them now and then.

I only have  drivers uniform....is that counting?

 

@ Popeye,

 

When you go to the forrest, find a tree with flowers on it. cut of a piece WITH the flowers, place it in the mast and there you are.

Yards with flowers !

 

Now I have to go to work ,so have a good weekend all !

See... there's your whole problem.... regardless, you should have kept up with the flowers... that way when you REALLY do something "wrong" (like buy a 1:64 model Victory or something)... she's not going to get suspicious at all....

Hi Sjors

 

She is looking great! I was having a look at Cornwall Models the other day and noticed that the San Ildefonso is for sale. Occre changed it to a normal kit you can buy, not just a member only one. So hopefully we will see more logs of her. She is a beauty!

[Sjors]

Hi Adam,

 

I have seen it also.

I'm also hoping that someone else is gonna build her.

Maybe there learning at Occre ????

 

[augie]

Hey Sjors------ Mobbsie tells me that big blow that hit England is on the way to you !!!!!  You and Anja stay safe ----- and DRY!

[Sjors]

Thanks Augie,

 

We have this morning our storm !

Windforce 10 till 12.....

We are just fine, no damage !

On one of the islands ( Vlieland ) there was a tornado.

Not normal for us.

But thanks and yes, we keep it dry     

 

[gjdale]

You sure all that wind wasn't just all the hot air from your log Sjors?

 

Glad to hear you are all safe and dry mate.

[mtaylor]

Looking good, Sjors...   more pictures please. 

[Sjors]

Thanks Mark,

 

I want to post pictures today but......no internet   

And now it is to dark to take pictures.

So I hope that tomorrow I can post a few.

 

[augie]

Somebody didn't pay the bill again

[popeye the sailor]

you really hate an internet provider that relies on solar power.....time to change up,  good buddy  :D

[Kimberley]

Your ship is amazing!  It is gorgeous!  I hope one day I have the skills and the opportunity to build something that magnificent.  I have a llllloooonnnnggg ways to go.

[Sjors]

Augie and Popeye,

 

I pay the bill ( no I didn't, Anja is responsible for that  )

We have sunday night a heavy thunder storm and I think that the lightning has strike here in the neighbourhood.

This time it was not the provider.

And they are not that bad.

After the troubles of the last time, we have a refund of a month.

But it is working again !

Still no pictures because it is dark ( 6.30 in the morning )

Later this day it wil coming.

And now I have the late shift again ,so at day time I can do some building 

 

@ Kimberly,

 

Thank for bringing me a visit 

No worries about your skills.

When you start a wooden build, start with something small and easy.

Not the big ones !

Try a longboat or a small tugboat.

Not a full rigged ship.

And I think that the virus got you.

And after few builds, you can do it also with all the help that you've get from all your friends here on MSW.

 

[Sjors]

Here are the promise pictures....

 

[realworkingsailor]

Pictures!! Woo Hoo!

 

Although... your Lion figurehead seems a little sticky-outy.... should he not be resting against the bracket behind him? 

 

 

(Or is he just sitting there for looks?)

 

 

 

Andy

[Sjors]

Hi Andy,

 

This is what they say on the drawings....

I was looking at myself and found it a little bit strange but ok.

If they want it that way, there gonna get it that way 

 

[trippwj]

The two ships look wicked sweet that way - nice!!!!!

[patrickmil]

Glad to see some progress being made Sjors. Great pictures and I completely agree with Wayne.

[lamarvalley]

Finally... pictures! And nice ones too... well done Sjors... 

[Micklen32]

Beauty Sjors

They really look nice together

Lovely work too

Keep it up Sjors   

[augie]

BEAUTIFUL!

 

The lion sticky-outty thingy looks fine.  What bothers me is that your fleet seems on course for a major disaster sailing right off the end of the table.  Thank heavens Columbus disapproved the 'earth is flat' theory.

[Shazmira]

Wow they look so impressive when they are photographed together like that. I love Andy's technical terminology (sticky outy  ) makes me feel much more at home since I use lots of terms like thingamabobber etc.

[popeye the sailor]

looks like you could fit a wedge behind it........give it the impression that it is  {just food for thought}.     great start on the rigging....your doing a super job on these two builds.    they look great together.

[texxn5]

Good point about the sticky outy thingy. Does make ya wonder some.....still looks good Sjors, glad to see you can get some things done instead of work work work....

[SkerryAmp]

The two ships look wicked sweet that way - nice!!!!!

 

Wicked Sweet!  I agree!!   (Wayne letting his New Englandeese show a bit with the wicked) 

[Sjors]

Thank you everyone that you like the picture from the two ships.

 

And no worries that they are standing close to the edge......

There was nobody at home then me and I'll keep distance !

@ Larry,

 

That is not me on THAT waterbus.

See picture below with the Euromast in the background in Rotterdam     

 

[Sjors]

Mobbsie made a serving machine for me.

 

I can use that now because I'm at the part to make the shrouds for the San Ildefonso.

I have one question.....

The shrouds that going from the tops to the deadeyes.....till where has the shrouds to be served ?

I know the shrouds will be served till the futtock stave.

Is that at the end of the mast knee where the futtock stave has to be placed?

I mean the knee where the tops hit the knee to give the top support.

 

And a picture of the serving machine that Mobbsie made for me. 

 

 

 

[popeye the sailor]

gee.....that table look awfully clean    nice looking serving machine too !
