Hi Sjors,

The progress looks really good...

Are there two capstans?

 

Sorry that I missed your post Ferit 

Yes, there are two capstans, one with the bars and one without, don't ask me why maybe one in reserve???????

 

[Sjors]

Thanks guys,

 

@ Mark , may I ask you what is step 6 ????

My second name is Peter ..

 

@ Adriaan,

 

Rigging is gonna take a while.

But I'll do it another way then on the Mirage.

I'm gonna get for the Mirage new rope and start all over again…..

When? I don't know, when the time is there…..

 

@ Thanks Eddie aka Elsie

Be welcome at my build log.

The popcorn machine is spinning , so if you want some just take !

Mark will take care of the drinks.

 

[Ferit]

Wow ,what a response on 2 capstans…...

Hello Sjors,

I had thought that you hadn't missed my post because of the comment above...

Wow, you can answer without knowing even the question...  You are a wise man...

(What I see are the one on the forecastle, the other on the main deck...)

Morning Ferit,

 

I'm not that wise….

Anja told me that I had to answer your question…..

One capstan on the forecastle and indeed one at the main deck.

I still don't know the reason for that.

But it is saying on the drawing, so I'll do that 

If they are putting a Moose on the gun deck, I put a Moose on that 

No problem at all….

 

[Sjors]

Early in the morning and as you guys are waking up…yep, an update 

 

I place the bars at the hull.

I don't know how they call them and what are the purpose of those bars.

Maybe someone can shine a light on it ?

Thank you….

 

[amateur]

I think they are called fenders, having more or less the same function as wales.

 

Jan

[Sjors]

Thanks Jan,

 

I knew some one has the answer…...

 

[gjdale]

Nice progress Sjors. That camera almost seems to be habit now!!!

[Shazmira]

WOW another day and another picture, color me impressed!

Looks great Sjors!!

[popeye the sailor]

I never knew the correct name for them........I just call them rub rails

[newbuilder101]

GREAT looking Sjors! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the pictures too!

[Sjors]

 

 

Nice progress Sjors. That camera almost seems to be habit now!!!

He was collecting dust Grant…..

And the battery was empty…..

Now she can come to the silence mode again till there is another update.

 

 

 

 

WOW another day and another picture, color me impressed!

Looks great Sjors!!

Robbyn,

 

Don't get use to it…...

Two days at the row is to much for the camera

Thanks

 

 

 

 

I never knew the correct name for them........I just call them rub rails

Every time you learn something new Popeye

 

 

GREAT looking Sjors! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the pictures too!

Thanks Sherry,

 

I'll do my best.

How sooner I finished all those kits, how quicker I'am at the scratch part

Then I can join you at the other side…..

 

[Micklen32]

Definitely looking good Sjors

I like the drill press in the background and the rest of your lovely tools you showed

I have a dremel and a hand drill   

They get me there though

Makes it a bit tricky if I need to build stuff though   

 

Keep it up   

MIck

[Sjors]

Hi Mick,

 

Thanks 

 

Those tools are very handy.

I only want a smaller drill…….this one is to big.

I think I buy the one from Proxxon.

The 1/2 of your build is already done with the tools you use.

And because Anja goes to the dark side, she need it !

 

[Sjors]

The four cannons at the lower deck are in place……..

Because the deck was to low and the cannons are rusting on the lower part of the gun port, I had to put a little piece of wood under the carriages so they came a little higher.

You don't see it, but I know it….and of course you are all knowing it also but don't see it   ( I hope )

Then to show you how it looks, pictures…..

 

 

 

[trippwj]

Gosh, Sjors - all these pictures are gonna really spoil us!  Fortunately, they are pictures of a nice looking model ship (no moose, spiders, gnomes or ground hogs) - armed with more teeth all the time it appears!

 

The cannon look good - well done!

[gjdale]

Nicely done Sjors. Using shims to get the cannon to the right height has worked very well for you.

[augie]

What shims?  All I see are nicely centered canons.  Keep going   

[lb0190]

Sjors, your ship looks very impressive! Thanks for the photo update.

[Micklen32]

The cannons look very nice and perfectly level

I can understand why shims would be necessary as the smallest part of a mm differing level shows up like half a metre on a model

 

As far as I can see all the cannon on the Endeavour are either on the main deck or swivel cannon on the railings so I shouldn't have too many difficulties

I shouldn't say things like that should I   

 

Keep it up   

Mick

[Adrieke]

Sjors looks really nice   and nicely centred

[Shazmira]

Guns look great Sjors!!

[Sjors]

Thank you again all     

 

@ Wayne,

 

I don't like spiders and all those animals in the house…..

I have enough with Anja...      

Don't get use to the pictures.

Because I'm at the part now that i can make pictures, I will make them.

 

@ Grant,

 

Thanks

I didn't know that the piece of wood under the carriages are called shims…..

Learning again 

 

@ Augie,

 

Also thanks 

And yes, I keep on going….

It's now time I think to put on the gun port lids...

 

@ Larry,

 

Thanks….and your welcome for the pictures 

 

@ Mick,

 

Also thanks.

When I placed the cannons, the barrel was touching the bottom of the gun port...

I have to figure it out what to do so they are not doing that.

Solution…shims 

But learn an other lesson…….dry fit the cannons on the lower deck before you place an other deck.

When I did that, I can do some modifications on the gun port.

A lot more space !

 

@ Adrieke,

 

Thank you

 

@ Shaz,

 

Also thank you.

But I thought you where some where on the lake in the Chris Craft…..

Or do you take your laptop on board?

 

[riverboat]

It seems this build is going a lot smoother for you than the Le Mirage, everything is looking real good Sjors!!...... aren't you glad you made the change??  

[texxn5]

Looking very good Sjors. I like the brass cannon. Thanks for all your help, and keep up the good work....and pictures.

John

[SkerryAmp]

Looking Good Sjors!  The cannons look quite nice!!

 

 

-Adam

[Sjors]

Thank you again all 

 

@ Frank,

 

It goes smoother indeed.

Only now the gun port lids are not going in the way that I want.

So, rip a few off and make them again…..

 

@ John,

 

Thanks and we are here to help each other where we can.

 

@ Adam,

 

Also thanks

Hi Sjors,

I was accustomed of your long long chats with all the world :-)

Now I slog to follow your updates... You have gained high speed...

But you don't lose control at high speed... The quality increases with velocity... :-)

SI improves nicely...
