[trippwj]

Superb looking ship, my friend!  VERY nice bit of progress!!!

[Sjors]

Thank guys   

 

@ Sam,

 

When Anja is at home, she turns her self the volume up       

And it can go higher then 30......

Thanks for the good word ....her majesty  Pfffffffffff ( new Dutch word )

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Thanks for the laugh !

If have to correct you my friend.

It is 200 km and not 221.

And when they are riding that race, It should be very cold and the ice must be thick !

I have once ,when I was younger , try to do it myself but after 120 km it was enough for me.......

Never ,but then I say never, I'll be doing it again !

But it wa something I never forget !

 

@ Popeye and Wayne,

 

Thanks !

I'm glad that you like my rats     

And they are albino's and not brown 

 

[Kamil]

Well Sjors, now I`m definitely need to visit you . And by that i mean you need to teach me how to do those ratlines (especially that in a month I`m planning to be at a stage of doing ratlines for my build). Wish you good luck and keep that tempo .

[joemo]

Thank You Sjors on your information on no English instructions on the Montanes.

I have been following your build on the San Ildefonso, excellent photos and build.

I wouldn't need English instructions with the information you have provided here.

Thank You again

Sjors!  TERRIFIC!!   Lines are good, colors are good - ship looks just fantastic!! MORE MORE MORE

[Bindy]

What a wonderful log and an even more incredible ship you are building!  Just wow !!!!!

[mtaylor]

Nice work on the ratlines, Sjors.   At this rate, you'll be done before you know it and then only have one ship to build.

[Sjors]

Thanks again everyone !

 

@ Kamil,

 

I'm will learn you how to tie those ratlines ! No problem !!!

We have to make a appointment.....

 

@ Joe,

 

Thank you very much !

It's not that difficult to build without the manual.

The pictures are clear enough.

And if you want to know something, you can always ask !

I build a few OcCre kits myself.

And I know that Ricardo will help you with some translations.

He did the same for me       

 

@ Adam,

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!!

Be patient my friend....

Progress is coming....

 

@ Bindy,

 

Welcome to the wharf !

I'm happy that you like what you are seeing....

And thank for the good word !

 

@ Mark,

 

Thank you also !

 

Working at one ship at the time ?

I don't think so.......

When Fonzie is almost finished , I know that there will be another one   

I just love the change of building two ships......

And I already knows what will be the next one......

Still a secret........also for Anja       

I hope I can finish the main mast this weekend and then I go back to the Aggy.

Then the fore mast and then.....crows feet.

I think I need help with that.

But we shall see when I'm at that stage.

 

[gjdale]

Hi Sjors,

 

Great work on the ratlines my friend! They look super - very neat and even.

[Sjors]

Thanks Grant and Lawrence,

 

I thought I can go to the shrouds at the middle part of the main mast but nope......

I forget all the blocks 

First thing that I have to do now......

 

 

[popeye the sailor]

crow's feet.........can't help you with that.........what you need is a podiatrist!  :D

 

I wonder what this mystery ship is?????  care to pass a subtle hint 

[flying_dutchman2]

Here are the goodies...

8 boxes totally

WOW, pre-made sails, I have never seen that before. That is one big and long boat.

Marc

[Sjors]

Popeye,

 

I shall ask that guy that podiatrist .....

And I don't give hints !

You will see it when the time is there ( end of this year or at the end of next year  )

 

@ Hi Marc,

 

Very easy those pre-made sails   

OcCre provide them in all the kits.

She's big ...1290 mm ( 50,787401574803 Inch)

 

[texxn5]

Looking good Sjors. Good to see you working on her again. She was feeling neglected.

[Sjors]

Ho John,

 

Welcome back in the land of the builders   

She was not feeling lonely.

She was supervising the progress on the Aggy.

A few more days and then she can supervise again.

 

[Sjors]

Main mast is done   

He got all the shrouds, ratlines and blocks......

What left is the foremast but that's for another time.

Before anyone is calling for pictures, here they are......

 

 

 

[Sjors]

Before you are thinking that I'm now running to the Aggy.....wrong !

I have bought a few tools so I have to re-decorate the workshop again.....

Nice for a sunny afternoon !

 

[patrickmil]

Sjors, your ratlines look great on the main mast. You are really making some great progress. 

[Sjors]

Thanks Patrick,

 

I'm not the only one who is happy in the house at the moment.

Anja is happy that I finished the rope for a while.

Now she don't find any loose ropes around the house   

Next month we are doing it all over again.....

[augie]

Looks like you've got the knack now my friend.  Good luck with the shop renovation.

[Sjors]

Thanks Augie and Lawrence,

 

@ Augie,

 

Re-decoration is done   

Clean and crispy so time to make sawdust again 

 

@ Lawrence,

 

Every time when I finish something I have to clean up the mess.

Even If it is rainy, sunny, cloudy, snowing ( I don't know what that is ) or there is a tornado coming, I just have do to it .

When I'm building I'm not cleaning a thing.

So at the end it is a big mess.

Now you know why 

 

[texxn5]

Very nice Sjors, neat and clean. Thanks for the pictures...that'll make you know who happy.....oh, now that I think about you know who is happy....he took the pictures......

[lambsbk]

Very neat Sjors. Looks great.

[newbuilder101]

I agree with everyone...very nice job on the rigging. I can't figure out how you do it so fast. It seemed like ti took forever for me to do the rigging on my Mayflower!

[gjdale]

Well done Sjors, your ratlines are first class! How about some pictures of the re-decorated workshop - just to keep you-know-who happy?

[mobbsie]

Well done mate, they look fantastic, there's a lot of work there.

 

You gave me your crown mate and now it's time to return it to it's rightful owner, YOU DA MAN.  

 

Be Good

 

mobbsie

[Sjors]

Thanks friends !

 

Yes I'm happy with how it turns out and yes, happy with the tools   

 

@ Sherry,

 

It looks if I have done it very fast but....when you know how the clove hitch works, it goes fast....

And you can say that I know how it works !

 

@ Grant,

 

At the log of the Aggy, there is a picture of the workshop 

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

We are sharing that ratline crown   

 

[Shazmira]

Sorry I am a bit late to the party, life has been a mess of late leaving me little time to make much in the way of comments. Your rigging looks great! You have come so very far since the first model, and I can tell your own confidence in your skills has grown by leaps and bounds!!

[Sjors]

Thanks Robbyn,

 

I know that life can be difficult.

Take your time with everything.

My build log is not going any where and will wait for you to drop in 

Thanks about my skills.....

It's just the same as a lot of things in life.

Learning, learning and learning.

And after every step it goes better !

 

[SkerryAmp]

Sjors, so far and so much!  The rigging all brings it together so nicely - such a wonderful piece of work!
