I agree...the gratings look great! Nice to see a picture of the whole ship...it really looks good!

[Sjors]

She looks impresive with all that work done.  Thanks for the shots of the whole ship!

Your welcome Augie…..

 

It's nice to see it with a few parts of the furniture on it.

 

[Sjors]

Sjors, I'm happy to see you making progress and posting pictures. The gratings look very nice and the overall pictures helps to give us a sense of her size. I'll be checking in on Le Mirage for a bit it seems.

Thanks Patrick,

 

I think I can start tomorrow again on the Le Mirage because I have to go for work in one hour…..

I have the late shift, so in day time I can work a little on her.

 

[augie]

Yes, it is.  She starts to breathe almost on her own.  But it's good to have those pictures of just her hull and clean deck to look back on later when she's all 'decked out' with fittings and think back to the simpler, cleaner times of old. 

 

Enjoy EVERY stage, my friend.  I certainly am!

[Sjors]

Hi Grant and Sherry,

 

Thank you both 

I'm pleased so far and almost feel sorry to put he into dry dock…...

I think when I go further on the SI, I can do the rigging at the same time with the Le Mirage.

Not 25.00 ratlines but 50.000 ratlines at the same time……...

No, I don't think so.

I'm gonna be crazy then!

She is really nice Sjors, well done.

HI Sjors I went through your Log here again what a marvalous job you are doing to your model. No after you are done it's time to change to Darth Vador and join forses on the dark side..............

[Shazmira]

Sjors, I can only hope to become as skilled as you are! Your work is first class!

[trippwj]

Excellent job on the gratings, Sjors.  She is looking mighty fine!  Look forward now to the le Mirage!

 

Have a great weekend!

[popeye the sailor]

[mobbsie]

Hi Sjors,

 

She's looking real sweet my friend, well done.

 

Now for the next instalment of Le Mirage, goody.

Very nicely done, Sjors.  Looks great.  Too bad you can't ignore the cries from Mirage and work some more on her. 

[The Sailor]

Excellent job, Sjors! She looks fantastic.

Hey Sjors,

 

I was just having another look at your last batch of photos. It's obvious that Anja must have taken these, because you appear in your clown suit again, doing a handstand, in the background in one of them!!!

[Sjors]

She is really nice Sjors, well done.

 

Regards,

John

 

Thanks John,

 

I'm happy with how she looks at the moment.

Hi Mario,

 

Thanks my friend!

 

And then for the dark side…. I think I'm not ready for that.

Maybe it is something for the future.

First I need tools ( hint, hint, hint Anja )

I have first finished those to small rowing boats 

 

[Sjors]

Sjors, I can only hope to become as skilled as you are! Your work is first class!

Hi Robbyn,

 

Thanks ,you make me  

My skills are not that good.

I glue a few planks together and it turns out that it's become a ship…..

 

[Sjors]

Excellent job on the gratings, Sjors.  She is looking mighty fine!  Look forward now to the le Mirage!

 

Have a great weekend!

Thanks Wayne,

 

When i post all the answers I go working on the Mirage…...

I see you there.

For you also a great weekend.

This weekend is for me an working weekend in the evening 

 

[Sjors]

the deck looks great sjors!   nice to see progress on your build.  it's actually a very nice deck layout.......very well set up

Thanks Popeye,

 

If you have any idea's for something more to put on the deck, let me know.

This deck is almost empty when I look to your lobster ship 

 

[Sjors]

Hi Sjors,

 

She's looking real sweet my friend, well done.

 

Now for the next instalment of Le Mirage, goody.

Thanks my friend,

 

I know that you are waiting for an update on the Le Mirage so be patient a little……soon!

 

[Sjors]

Very nicely done, Sjors.  Looks great.  Too bad you can't ignore the cries from Mirage and work some more on her. 

Thanks Mark,

 

I know it is difficult to put the SI into dry dock but I have to.

I've say it somewhere before but when I continue building on her, I have the rigging process on both.

And I think that that is to much….

Then I have to buy a third ship to do something else and then I have a fight with Anja because she have no space anymore to build on her own ship…..

 

[Sjors]

Excellent job, Sjors! She looks fantastic.

 

Thanks Richard

Grant,

 

You've got me!

But why do you have to tell it in the open.

Now everybody knows it!

And you see only me, but I'm standing on my hands on the hands of Anja.

Only she don't want  you to see it 

 

[augie]

Thanks Mark,

URGENT MESSAGE -  DO NOT, repeat DO NOT upset the balance of nature and interfere with Anja's space.  You will surely pay the price

[Anja]

Augie!

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[Patrick Haw]

Hi Sjors,

 

First time looking at your build and she's looking really good. Well done.  Thanks for your comments on my log too,

 

Patrick

[Sjors]

Thanks Patrick,

 

She is at the moment in dry dock because I need some tools…..

When I have them, I can go further with her.

 

[rdsaplala]

Amazing progress work my friend, you must tell me your secret on how you manage to beautifully build two giant ships at the same time

San Ildefonso is coming along very nicely Sir

[augie]

Aldo is amazed at you working on 2 beauties simultaneously.  I can hardly wait until you start on Agamemnon.  You'll be working on ships like that clown you have juggling the cannonballs.  I'll just plod along on my rowboat

[Sjors]

Thank you Sir Aldo 

 

Because I have every 5 weeks a week free of work…...

Then it's building time.

You have to do something with your time….
