Sjors do you think you can get away, for a little while, from house cleaning on Monday, for a little Skype time ???

[popeye the sailor]

watch out sherry........he liable to outfit for you the ones that shoot blanks   LOL!

[Shazmira]

WOW! I get caught up with life for a few days, come check in finally and I see you have made great progress!!! She is looking quite beautiful Sjors, be proud!!!

[Sjors]

@ Frank,

 

We will be on Skype tomorrow….

Housekeeping can wait !

 

@ Sherry,

 

No worries….I have 3 kids so I don't "shoot" blanks 

 

@ Robbyn,

 

Don't go away that long…..

Or just go and you missed things 

Thanks !

@ Sherry,

 

No worries….I have 3 kids so I don't "shoot" blanks 

 

And with that.... Darwin rolled over in his grave.......

[Sjors]

If it stays with him I have no problems with that

Hi Sjors, sorry, I have been busy with the Morgan, and just now getting to look at your's. Really looking good. I think some more pictures would be appropriate if you know what I mean. Is Anja letting you build or do "honey do's" ?

[Sjors]

Hi John,

 

No problem that you are a little late

When I've done something I shall make pictures.

I'm at the moment on my work so no building....

And Anja let me build when I want to.

Looking very good Sjors, and I like the cannons brass, I left them brass on my San Francisco.

[augie]

Hey Sjors ----- I'm tired of saluting so I saved this one for you. 

[rdsaplala]

Beautiful work, Sjors, simply beautiful!

[Børge]

Hi Sjors

 

Been looking at you build to catch up a bit.

Its looking very nice Sjors, all armed and ready.

 

Børge

[popeye the sailor]

armed and ready.............sounds rather omimous {scary organ sound here}

[Sjors]

Augie,

 

Be welcome at the Commodor's table.

It's a round one so take the seat and let's talk about the crew here on MSW           

 

[Sjors]

Aldo & Børge,

 

Thank you very much guy's.

Why do you stay away for such long time?

When you are looking you need a few hours to catch everything up.

When you are coming at regular base, you have more time for building 

 

@ Aldo, How is life?

Still chaotic????

 

@ Børge,

 

How is your elbow??? little better and back again at the ship yard?

 

@ Popeye,

 

I can hear the organ…….

 

[popeye the sailor]

....and perhaps future peace treaties    "he who come to table with fingers crossed,  hold bottle funny"

[Sjors]

 

 

Looking very good Sjors, and I like the cannons brass, I left them brass on my San Francisco.

Thank you Caroline.

 

So I don't have to feel guilty that I don't paint them…...

 

[Sjors]

I make the breech ropes and the eyebolt with rings…...

Everything is in place and I started with the small boat.

Planking is done and I use some filler.

Now I can go sanding and then paint the whole thing.

Progress still going slowly because of the heat and working thing….

 

[Kevin]

very nice

[Ferit]

Hi Sjors,

Building same things over and over again (many cannons are there) seems a little update at first look but means a big progress in reality...

You had managed very nice a lot of details...

Will be two cannons placed in front of the forecastle deck?

[Sjors]

Thank you Kevin and Ferit,

 

@ Ferit, No no cannons at the fore castle deck….

I think when they put cannons over there, they have problems with the rope what comes and go from the bowsprit.

And you are right about the little things.

It looks more complete 

 

[gjdale]

Very nice Sjors.

[augie]

Well done Commodore!   Cannons look very nice and the boat is off to a good start!

[lamarvalley]

Beautiful work Sjors, very neat and orderly. .. you even show the precision of your cat divits... attention to details... it shows.

[Sjors]

Thanks Grant, Augie and Randy,

 

@ Augie,

 

The little one came out  better then I thought.

I had to plank it with the planks that I used on the deck….

Very thin so easy to brake.

With the filler on it, it feels now like concrete…….

 

@ Randy,

 

I have to go back to take a look but those holes are all ready drilled by the manufacturer          

If I have to do it by myself, there where not so straight !

 

[lamarvalley]

Hmmm, darn it Sjors, you're not supposed to tell us that

Okay, so you didn't drill 12 or so holes.... the rest, the deck, cannons, furniture, it all looks impressive so what that you can't take full credit for the divits :mellow:

[Ferit]

Hi Sjors,

May I ask a second question? My apologizes...

On the front of the forecastle deck, there are 6 knightheads, I'm not sure but the second from the right hand seems having no neck. Is there any reason for that? 

[Micklen32]

Great work Sjors

Tell me, is that all from the kit or did you play with anything?

I keep looking at the other Endeavour builds and they seems fairly similar but not the same

I keep saying I will get a book and study it but then I say that that is what we pay OcCre for

The research

It's obviously the deck furniture and the other stuff on deck that works everything that may be a bit different

What I am always surprised at is the different order things are done on the models

 

This build is a sort of present isn't it and not normally available ???

I know the OcCre club was mentioned but I can find no reference anywhere to an OcCre club

It does look a cracking ship though and it's being built very nicely

 

Keep it up   

Mick

[popeye the sailor]

very nice progress Sjors......the cannons look very good.   the deck layout is really falling into place for you    the ship's boat is off to a good start.......nicely done! 

[Sjors]

Thank you all  ,

 

Next thing to do is answering everyone 

 

@ Randy,

 

I don't want the credits for something I have not done….

For the rest of the furniture….a BIG thanks ! 

 

@ Ferit,

 

Please keep asking and don't apologise for that !

Better one question to many then not a question at all.

For me ,I know that you are looking carefully to the pictures.

I like that !

When you ask me about the knight head I was running upstairs to take a look.

Yippie, he is standing all right.

It's the picture that shows you no neck.

The shadow is playing with us…….

 

@ Mick,

 

It's all available in the kit…..

I play ,but not with that 

I know what you mean.

All the kits are different.

Some leave something and an other manufacturer put something extra in it.

It depends on which one makes the kit.

Then what about the OcCre club.

I didn't know about it at all till I want to have the San Ildefonso.

By the help of Gaz-666 ( Ricardo ) who help me to get this kit.

Also on the site from OcCre I can found anything.

Maybe it's only for people who are from Spain?

If you want to join that club, maybe you can send an E-Mail to OcCre?

When you take a look at the Montanes, it's almost the same ship.

There are a few difference, but not much.

And then I'm speaking about little things.

You want to give that also a try?

The San Ildefonso or the Montanes?

 

@ Popeye,

 

Thank you very much my friend !

The progress continue with the little one.

It's almost a build of his own 

Two for the price of one…..
