PopJack Posted June 16, 2013 Share #602 Posted June 16, 2013 I was reading your log and have a question. In the beginning, you said that the keel was warped or twisted. I never saw how you fixed this. What did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted June 16, 2013 Share #603 Posted June 16, 2013 Good start Sjors. You are allowed to kit bash.

Sjors Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share #604 Posted June 16, 2013 Thank you all…. Very nice start for a sunday A lot of positive comment @ Ben, So this is bashing?????? You see, I'm never to old to learn …..and the rest of those things scratch???? I will help Anja when she's in to the scratch…..( or maybe I'll keep the Hannah for myself ) @ Andy, I shall try to explain why I don't used the windows from the kit. At the transom from the kit ,there are 7 windows and I have only 4 ,with a reason. When you take a look at picture #657, you will see on the left, right and middle, parts of the hull that is not covered. I had to put planks over it to cover those beams because you always see them. The windows that are provide are metal gold and I don't like that. Now I make the windows smaller and it covered all those beams but you can still take a look over the hole lower deck…... My first meaning was to put some glass in lead into the frames in the windows, but that's to much for me I hope this answer your question. @ Caroline, Thank you for bringing me a visit. There is a chair available next to Mark . Keep him as a friend because he is sitting next to the popcorn machine. The bar is also open ,so take a drink. @ Grant, Thank you very much. For a first scratch , I'm happy with the result! Maybe painting today….. @ Mark, Later ( in a few hours ) I will place a picture while the transom is in place. Yesterday night I glued the transom in place and it's fits perfect I love the view! @ Popjack ( or is it only Jack? ) You are right. I never showed it When you look at the first pictures, you will see a white board where she is standing on. On that board I have screw 2 L shape metal bars. It's just the wideness of the keel. When I place the decks, I put her in that L shapes and place the decks. As long as it takes to glue the deck and deck planks, she is staying there. When that was all done, she had no place anymore to get warped. I hope this answer your question. @ Augie, I don't let you alone with your kit build…... Maybe one day I will go to the dark side, but that can take a couple of years…….. I have to go then to the other section and leaving you….. No way, I just keep chasing you Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

Sjors Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share #606 Posted June 16, 2013 The transom is in place….. It need a little more sanding and I have to see if the quarter galleries are right in place. Surprise…..they are not More adjustments are coming…... It looks if the transom is to small but it is the same size as the old one. We see what we will do about that. I only make him higher so it goes to the top. The inner side of the transom needs some planking. And of course a few pictures.

Even the bottom of quarter gallery's are solid metal. But that shape is to much to scratch. So I have to turn her on her side to see if I can glue it together.

PopJack Posted June 16, 2013 Share #613 Posted June 16, 2013 @ Popjack ( or is it only Jack? ) You are right. ... I hope this answer your question. Jack or PopJack is fine. This is a name I use in many places- some where there are more young people. Some of them call me "Pop." (This is not to say everyone here is old ) Trivia: my name is actually Jack. (Most Americans who use the name "Jack" are actually named "John") Yes, that clears up my question. I understand how you solved the problem, thank you.

Sjors Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share #614 Posted June 16, 2013 Hi Jack ( I just call you Jack is that's alright) I was thinking why I don't wrote what i have done. In the early days of internet ,there was a other forum that we called MSW 1 After a big crash at the beginning of this year, we have to start all over again with our builds. I can say that 99% of the builders have only the pictures left on the pc's We post them all back but no comments anymore. That was lost in cyberspace…... That's why you only saw the pictures and no comment what is done. But we have our memories and a great MSW 2. trippwj 1 Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

I have take a look at your tram and…..you can do a better paint job I think. You just said it your self…to lazy……so come on, get the bull by the horns and give it another layer of paint! It's pity to let it like this. I hope you don't mind saying this but the tram is to nice to let it go. When you start the Taxi, I will take a look also.
