Nicely done mate,  that's a big step out of the way, you know what they say " Onwards and Upwards".

 

As a suggestion mate, you could always put the Fonz on the front seat and Anja in the boot  

 

Be Good

I shall refrain from commenting on giving Anja the boot - I have some decorum! Have you considered taking the bus?

 

Nice work on the shrouds and rat lines, Sjors. Thanks for sharing these pictures to keep "you know who" happy!

Nicely!!done Sjors...... see, now when everyone does their shrouds and ratlines, they'll say "Do as Sjors Does" :P

Frank

So now when we get stuck on something we can say "WWSD?" (What Would Sjors Do) and the reply will be DaSD (pronounced "dazed") Sorry Sjors, couldnt resist.

They do look good though, if mine come out half as good you'll hear the "Stompin' of the Klompen" from my happy dance!

Thanks Guy's

After the meeting yesterday of a Dutch forum ( the link to a picture impression is     Modelshipbuilders meeting in the Netherlands on Saturday, April 19th    ) I thought I try to do the crows feet at the Fonz.

Maybe it has  do it another way but I like it and I keep it this way     ( just like another few things )

All 3 are done and it was for me the first time that I did it.

 

 

[WackoWolf]

She is looking very nice, keep up the good work. Keep the pictures coming and Thank you for sharing.

[patrickmil]

Very nice crow's feet Sjors. Your rigging is very clean.

[riverboat]

Sjors, the crows feet came out  real nice, but they look a little bit long, maybe its just the angle of the picture..... or, could be just my eyes!!

Frank

[Sjors]

Hi Frank,

 

It's not your eye's but they give me no measurement at the drawings.

But i also find out that i have to start in de middle so........I have to remove it and do it again !

But not today !!!!!!!

Then I shall make them a little shorter.

But what kind of measurement do they need ????????

Hi Sjors,

 

Glad you had a good yesterday mate, I did think of you during the day.

 

With regard to your crows feet, I have my lowest block tied of at 12cm from under the platform, 15mm between the blocks and a length of 6cm for the crows feet from the edge of the platform. Hope that helps mate.

 

Speak to you later.

 

Be Good

Sjors.... I think Mobbsie got it right for your distance from the edge of the platform.

Great job on the crow's feet!

[gjdale]

Well done Sjors. You see, when Mobbsie sends you "around the buoy", it usually means you end up with a better outcome.

[augie]

I LOVE the new version, mate!

[Sjors]

Thanks Lawrence, Jan, Master Mobbsie, Beautiful lady Sherry, Our Aussie Grant and far away friend Augie       

 

@ Lawrence,

 

I can almost call myself an expert on those ratlines.......

And those crow's feet....I've done it twice ( or 6 times when you count them all ) and it's not that difficult when you know how the ropes are going....

 

@ Jan,

 

Thanks !!!

Coming from you means a lot to me !

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Now you see that i listen to you !!!!!

And I'm now an happy camper again !   

 

@ Sherry,

 

Thank you so much !!!!!!

I'm 

 

@ Grant,

 

Mobbsie and I are joking all the time but sometimes he has a very good way to bring me back on the right track   

Thanks !

 

@ Augie,

 

I'm glad that you like it this way.

Then I know that I don't do it for nothing......

I have to please my friends !!!!!!!!

Sjors,

What am I missing? It looks the same to my inexperienced eyes?

Sam

[Sjors]

Sam,

 

When you take a look at the earlier post with pictures you will see that the ropes of the crow's feet are to long.

And also the ropes are not going OVER the platform what I did now.

With the help of Master Mobbsie, it is right now.
