Thanks Wolf  :D

 

Nice Avatar…...

They have found earlier this week a dead wolf in the Netherlands.

For the first time in 150 years they are back…..( at least that's what they are thinking )

Small update time with pictures again  :D

 

Dry fit the deck cannons to see how it looks.

They need the breach rope , so that's for later.

First I have to drill a few ( 40 ) holes for eyebolts and rings behind the cannons.

No, I'm not going to rig all the cannons.

Just the breach rope...

I know, I'm lazy !

Also make the gun port lids on the starboard side and place all the cannons.

Then finally I make the stairs against the hull so they can climb on board.

Both sides are done with that.

On the wolves (just to screw up YOUR thread), you had better start putting out something for them to eat.  I can't imagine that the Netherlands has enough wild critters available to satisfy wolves!

 

Oh ----- they don't like popcorn unless you pour some nice bacon grease over it :D

 

And I do have some freshly caught fish I can send over !

Thanks all  :D

 

@ Popeye,

Are you looking at those pictures with a magnifier??????

You are right, some cannon balls are missing.

I have to fire a few shots to see if they are in range  :D

But no worries, there are coming new ones…...

 

@ Augie,

 

I shall not tell anybody that we are lazy !

Maybe the Wolf eat some popcorn because she is not alive anymore  :(

And you catch some fish….picture of it ? Please?

 

@ Randy, Thanks…..

I thought that politician are predators…...

The eat my money the whole time  :(

 

@ Andy,

 

Thank you SIR !

 

I just keep the cannons brass.

When I paint or blackened them I have also the false cannons to do.

And they are already glued…...

So I keep it this way.

 

@ Mick,

 

Thank you also.

Hi Sjors.... yes , I just got back from planet zephyr........ very interesting trip :D ........ the guns on deck are looking very anxious !!....by the way, are you going to blacken them ?.... just wondering, you don't have to, but if it were my ship, and my guns, I would blacken them, but then again, it's not my ship, and they are not my guns, so, you do as you like because that is your ship and they are your guns and you are the "CAPTAIN" :P  :P ..... all joking aside....... paint them black!!!! :D  :D  :D  :D  :D :D  ( just kidding Sjors)

The guns really look good Sjors, I really like the brass. But being an old salt, I like brass as long as someone else is polishing it. RHIP!!!

Thanks Sjors.  Like I told Augie, it’s a photo of Canis Lupis Lupaster, or the Egyptian Wolf.  They are critically endangered and the sheer tenacity needed for them to survive in an arid region (and man's brutality) captivates me.  I hope they survive us all.

 

Your cannons look fantastic!  Where do you find all the time to build?

@ Sherry,

 

I will do your cannons if you bring them by your self  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Mark,

Thank you…..

I see you finished your coffee?

 

@ Thanks Larry  :D

 

@ John,

 

I have someone in the house  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

Auch…..She hit me !!!!!!

 

@ Edwin,

 

Thank you for saying that I'm not lazy  :D  :D

I almost believe it myself…..

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Back from the holidays and doing ugly to me?  :(  :D

No worries, I have enough spare cannon balls…..

And i don't play drums !

 

@ Grant,

 

It wasn't me…..honestly !

This time Mobbsie started  :P

 

@ Wolf,

 

Thanks for telling me a few things about the Wolf!

It's a great animal!

Where I found the time…..I'm not searching it but just have it  :D

When I'm in the week free of work and Anja is working, the only thing that I can do is building  :D

( I know Anja's answer all ready….do some house keeping )

 

@ Augie,

 

With you I can talk  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

Thanks my friend!

Your ship is progressing very nicely, Sjors.  You should feel pretty danged good about the way she is looking - and I do not polish brass!!!!

 

i understand that cotton balls (which, rumor has it, you have a large quantity in reserve) can be used for the detail parts of house cleaning (gotta keep Anja hapy, you know!).

Wayne,

 

I feel indeed happy with how she looks.

There are few thing that I can do better but that's for the next one.

 

I always keeps Anja happy  :D

If the time is there that the house keeping is on order, I help her…...

I clean up the hobby room  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

( in the mean while a little building because she don't see it…..)
