Looking better all the time!  Great job, Sjors!

[Sjors]

Thank you all…..

 

@ Patrick,

 

There is one chessboard in scale but that's in the Captain's cabin…….

 

@ Grant,

 

Anja can hide some canon balls but she's at work now so I have a secret hiding place with a few canon balls…..

 

@ Adam,

 

Thank you!

 

@ David,

 

Thank you also!

 

@ Jim,

 

No worries my friend, canons are on the way       

But when they are there I will use popcorn to shoot instead of cotton balls…..

 

@ Daniel,

 

I know, I know…..

Beside all the fun there is still some modelling.

Maybe it is better that every time I do something and post it I shall put a link with it? 

Then you don't have to search…..

 

@ Sherry,

 

You are very welcome 

 

@ Adriaan,

 

Anja want to use the cotton for something else…...

I'm curious for what….

 

@ Popeye,

 

I know you have to struggle to a few pages before you see a few pictures….but when you are there, you see something !

 

@ Mark,

 

Thanks for the compliment about the chess….uh samson posts…..

I'm not going to the dark side, I stay on the bright side.

When Anja is starting I shall help her if needed but that's it!

I have to many projects left…….

 

@ Wayne,

 

Thank you !!

 

 

 

 

 

[Sjors]

Because Anja is working I have take the opportunity to get my canon balls and place them on the gratings

When she got home tonight, I'll be working.

So when I coming home early in the morning i hope that they are still there…...

[Sjors]

Thanks Jim!!!!!!

 

And now the canons….then it makes use that I have placed canon balls 

 

[augie]

Now that's looking terrific, my friend.         

[Sjors]

Thanks other friend 

 

I'm pleased how it looks.

It's to bad that I already has to go for work.

Thats always the same problem….when it goes well you have to go 

 

[realworkingsailor]

Hmmm Sjors has been allowed some canonballs.... No good can come from this.....

 

Andy

[trippwj]

Those are painted cotton cannon balls, right?  I would hate to think that all of the detente that has been going on is now in jeopardy!!!

 

Continues to look very crisp and impressive, Sjors - want to do the planking and furniture on my Ranger???????  Only one cannon so not much benefit to either fleet, though....

[newbuilder101]

Looks great Sjors! That's more cannonballs for the Spanish Fleet!

[Ferit]

She had taken small black vitamins and she is improving in beauty   ...

[Sjors]

Thanks again all 

 

@ Andy,

 

I still have no cannons……only the balls!

 

@ Wayne,

 

They are not cotton but real lead…. I use it when I go fishing 

 

@ Sherry,

 

Yep, more ammunition  

I have to be prepared…...

 

@ Ferit,

 

Thanks …no vitamins today, just a lot of love in the build !

Because I'm in the mood for pictures , a few more.

The deck furniture is in place and the last railing.

Also the chess pieces are glued…..

No more chess!

 

[mobbsie]

Hello Sjors,

 

Do I hear the threat of war drums in the distance, cannonballs indeed, you'll be looking for some cannon to fire them soon.

 

I hope Anja has given you permission to use those balls.

 

She's coming along very nicely my friend.

 

mobbsie

[augie]

So you catch 1:70 scale fish using those balls?

 

These details are making her look spectacular!

[Kevin]

very nice work , my friend

[riverboat]

Sjors, very nice looking ship you have there, and you are doing an excellent job of bringing her up to being sea worthy, but I'm a little concerned about you and your balls....Uuups!, excuse me, I'd better rephrase that.... You and your "cannon balls"...... Is this an indication that you might be thinking about arming the big S.I. ???, or are you just putting the "fear of Sjors" out there??

[augie]

Now that you mention it Frank, even that new railing has balls.

[riverboat]

I missed that Augie !

[Sjors]

Thanks again guys,

 

You can make fun of my "balls" uh Cannon balls……..

I'm happy with it and I have now some ammunition…...

Anja pointed me out that on picture 2 ,something was not squire…..

It looks that way but it is straight!

It's an angle of the picture.

I cheque it twice.

I shall make tomorrow a new picture…...

 

[Sjors]

Thanks Brian 

 

[Shazmira]

Very nice, she is really starting to come together...almost time for adding some string......

[Adrieke]

[cpt. Tom]

Hello Sjors,

 

I can still remember me on the first pictures from you Ship last year and now it looks absolutely great what you are doing on her.

I'll stay tuned to your work, great

[Sjors]

Thanks all !

 

Because of a bad internet connection I hope I can finish what I'm writing…...

 

@ Robbyn,

 

I try to avoid any rope 

I hear that there is a rigging fairy around this forum…..

So I believe in fairytales so maybe……...      

 

@ Thanks Adriaan!

 

 

@ Piet, Dank je wel  ( thanks )

 

 

@ Ferit,

 

Wait till you see the cannons…..  

 

@ My friend,

The temperature is rising so may hours outside……..
