Nice going Sjors....... see, you did it!!

[Ferit]

Hi Sjors,

Your scratch looks very good, much better than the metal one...

[Sjors]

@Mobbsie,

 

Thank you very much teacher…….

You see, I listen to you….( not always.. )

 

 

@ Kevin,

 

Thanks and you are going to the dark side ?

Witch project?

If I can do it, you can do it for sure!

 

@ Andy,

 

Had it something with a space?

I think I hear this song somewhere…..

 

@ Frank,

 

Thanks also.

Sometimes you just have to take the jump!

 

@ Ferit,

 

We where laughing about your smiley.

I'm almost see you standing aside the table and shouting at me       

But thank you very much!

Much better Sjors, and now you have the confidence in yourself to know you can fix any issues that come up!

Let's not go overboard here or his head will no longer fit through the door on the bus   :D  

[newbuilder101]

Looking great Sjors! I think maybe you do hear the "dark side" calling your name.

[lamarvalley]

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

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…….

 

Let's not go overboard here or his head will no longer fit through the door on the bus   :D  

 

Augie,

 

I have ordered a bus with really big doors!

And we call that…don't walk beside your shoes…..

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.

There is someone around me that let it not be happening…….

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! 

 

Michael

[Sjors]

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.

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 )

[Sjors]

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….

 

[popeye the sailor]

got a good one for you Sjors...........ask someone if they have ever smelled  'moth balls'.   being such a common thing,  of course,  they will say .......yes.    you reply.............whad-ja do..........pick'em up by the wings?

[rdsaplala]

Hahaha you're hilarious, Popeye, sorry Sjors, I didn't know the "balls joke" would be resurrected by my last statement..... but it seems that Popeye has already "started the balls rolling"

[popeye the sailor]

the sphere has been around for ages............there's no escape!

[Adrieke]

here have some "schweddy" balls  ( I think you pronounce that sweaty)

 

 

[augie]

Nope.  I refuse to get involved in this resurrected subject.  (don't have the balls for it).

[michael mott]

Thanks for the link Sjors.

 

Michael

[Sjors]

Now you see what you have done Aldo???????

Again talking about balls….and what kind of balls.

No cannon balls but moth balls, Nerve balls, ice balls,sphere balls…..what's next? 

I think I better prepare for work to see if there are any Balls are coming into my bus.

 

[Sjors]

YW Michael,

 

You have take a look at it?

 

[realworkingsailor]

Ok... this thread is in immediate peril of going south in a bad way.....

 

Andy

[Trussben]

Hmmmmm, don't think I will add any comment.

 

Ben

(Go look up the International Regulations for the Prevention Of Collisions at Sea, "Collregs", if you don't know what that means)

[riverboat]

Back to those round things again Eh!

[mtaylor]

Well... at least everyone is having a ball...    Post some pictures Sjors. They will take everyone's mind off things.

[mobbsie]

I think it's too late for that Mark, he's dropped a couple of the round spherical things in several places.  

 

I think a bit of grovelling is required here, then some pics.   :mellow:   

 

mobbsie

[Sjors]

Ok guys,

 

No balls and no pictures yet.

Still struggling with the quarter gallery's…...

It's all metal and I have to glue it sometime 3 times before it stays where I want it.

When there is really something to see I post pictures.

So be patient please…...

 

[popeye the sailor]

in other words....Sjors is saying that he hasn't gotten 'round to it yet 

[realworkingsailor]

*Sigh* Popeye.... *groan*

 

I figured things where going down hill... and you just gave it another nudge...

 

Sjors... waiting patiently... whenever you get your glue to stick.... (if it's still not working, you may want to wash off the cast metal in mild dish detergent and water, and let it dry thoroughly before trying to glue.....either way it will help when the time comes to paint)
