Robbyn, Confidence is good but still you have to do it….. I like that so much that I have taken away the quarter gallery again because it was not straight….. It's now a lot of repairs to do But not today. The temperature is rising till 30 degrees Celcius…... To hot to sit inside and I have to work tonight…….

And Robbyn and Daniel like that???????? Looking great Sjors! I think maybe you do hear the "dark side" calling your name. Sherry, Thank you, There are more things that is calling my name but I'm not listening all the times to that When those 2 little vessels are finished, I have still the Aggy to do. So it takes a few years before I'm in to that. Ah heck, I think he had the confidence all along... but it's always nice to have support and people behind pushing.... but I agree, ... lets not go overboard here... and I wannna see pictures Oh and btw , honored Randy, I think it's just the support of the other builders that let you do things that you normally don't do. And I don't walk with my head in the clouds.

michael mott Posted June 18, 2013 Share #640 Posted June 18, 2013 Sjors Your model is coming along well! I noticed that you avatar is a Routmaster Bus, When I was growing up in London I used to collect Bus numbers ( a strange hobby only engaged in by British schoolboys I know) and I remember seeing the very first Routmaster bus out of the Park Royal plant where they were built. I lived not far from Park Royal One of my Brothers drove London Buses for 25 years, he quit when they stopped using Conductors. Incidentally I saw and cataloged every trolleybus on the London Transport system that were in service in 1963, I would ride my bicycle all over London finding the last few buses. A strange world we live in!

Sjors Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #641 Posted June 18, 2013 Morning Michael, Thanks It also in the Netherlands that there are people who take pictures of bus numbers. When I'm at a station, I always see someone with a camera who take pictures from a bus. I've been many times on a picture with an bus. Maybe because I'm that handsome????????? I have a colleague who travel all over Europe to sit and make pictures of busses. We have even a own bus site. It is in Dutch but they have a lot of pictures. Take a look at it and maybe you like it. http://www.busbrief.nl/Archief%20overzicht.htm 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.

rdsaplala Posted June 18, 2013 Share #642 Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Sjors, Wow! I've been away for a while and I'm very surprised at the amount of progress you've made I see that you've already taken in your own share of the "dark side", marvelous work on the new transom, my friend, it looks great I admire your courage in rebuilding this new part, you sure have a lot of "balls" or should I say, uhm, I mean cannon balls ( hehehe sorry, I can't help injecting that "balls" joke on the past few chapters was just too hilarious so I can't help bringing it up again ) Quote Best regards,AldoCurrently Building: HMS Pegasus (Victory Models)-Mothballed to give priority to Triton HMS Triton (first attempt at scratchbuilding) Past build:HM Brig Badger (Caldercraft), HM Brig Cruizer, HM Schooner Ballahoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #643 Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Aldo, Nice to see you dropping in. Sometimes you have to go to the dark side…... We will see where it ends. Maybe in the future a whole ship? who knows. Why do you have to start all over again about the "balls"…... You wake everyone up now, so I'm curious to see what they are saying….
