Popeye will be pleased.

 

Glad you clarified the 'door'.  That would have brought a multitude of inquiries  

[gjdale]

That already looks much better Sjors.

[popeye the sailor]

thank you Sjors......I am pleased     it looks great,  my friend!   even unfinished,  it's a picture worth waiting for 

[popeye the sailor]

.....I had to look at it again.....{giggle!}.....oh blimey!.....I'm tickled pink! {thank god it's not pastel!}

 

Sjors wasn't happy with the transom face

he made another to take it's place

the picture shows he did not fail

now to make the balcony rail

[mtaylor]

Very nicely done, Sjors.  And you posted a picture so I didn't have to ask for some. 

[Adrieke]

looking really great Sjors

 

and a late crongats on your promotion to commodore

[Micklen32]

Such tricky work Sjors

It's coming together very nicely

It's just time, patience and the confidence to walk away from it if needed 

Keep it up   

Mick

[Sjors]

@ Popeye,

 

Thanks 

A poem for me….

Even Anja don't do that…..

 

@ Mark,

 

If I not post a picture ,some guys will be up said…...

And we don't want to do that…do we ?

And thanks..

 

@ Adriaan,

 

Thanks you also .

The only problem is when you've got promoted….they want you to pay the bill...

 

@ Mick,

 

Thank you very much.

And I don't have enough time, patience and confidence….

When I can say it for myself it should be finished yesterday…...

 

[mobbsie]

Brilliant Sjors, very well done.

 

Lets have some more scratch please.

 

mobbsie

[Sjors]

They are coming Mobbsie,

 

The little cabins who are on the transom are now to small.

So I have to scratch new ones……...

 

Thanks my friend 

 

[popeye the sailor]

oh....OHHHHHH!  that's how the scratch build bug gets you Sjors........a little at a time 

[realworkingsailor]

Yup...

 

Better "scratch" that itch now... 

 

Andy

[Sjors]

Maybe the bug got me Popeye….

But before I do a hole ship that takes a while….

 

[lamarvalley]

I hear that's how it starts... first a slight fever, then an unreachable itch, a scratch build here and a scratch adjustment there and before you know it... plans arrive in the mail and the dark side absorbs you... or so I have heard

Hi Randy,

 

The scratch build hits this house al ready.

Not for me but for Anja.

She ordered the Colonial Schooner and waiting for delivery…..

 

[realworkingsailor]

"And lead us not into temptation"

 

 

HAH!

 

**Hums the Darth Vadar Theme**  

[augie]

Long range weather predicts a cloud of sawdust over Schiedam  

[Sjors]

"And lead us not into temptation"

 

 

HAH!

 

**Hums the Darth Vadar Theme**  

 

Andy,

 

When you hums the theme of Darth Vadar here a picture with someone you know who……

 

 

 

Augie,

 

I thought it where just clouds above Schiedam…..

But now you are saying it, maybe it's a sawdust cloud????

 

 

 

[realworkingsailor]

I KNEW IT!!!!

 

:D

[lamarvalley]

Gosh, he's much closer to the dark side than assumed.... gulp!

[trippwj]

The force is strong in that one...

[Adrieke]

lost to the dark side, he is

[DSiemens]

Come on the dark sides not so bad....we have cookies....

 

Sjors your build is turning out well.  

 

Took me a while to catch up with all the side tracks.  If your build log had a sound track it would probably be Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne.  

[trippwj]

Cookies???? I need to rethink this whole kit thing....

[Kevin]

can i have some cookies as well , i may have lost all the required weight i want by the time i start my 1st dark side project

[Sjors]

Guys,

 

There is only popcorn on this thread………sorry.

 

@ Daniel,

 

Thanks .

I try to make a build log but sometimes ( a lot ) there is a side kick….

I can nothing do about it.

And I don't want to do a thing about it         

The build goes slow because of work..

But next week a week no work so maybe a little more building time.

 

[Kevin]

i know where you are coming from, just had a whole fours days off, all my plans were around time to be spent on the build - did everything else but - never mind - lifes good and the build is progressing - just much slower than i wish

all the best - your work so far  is very nice - well done my friend

[Sjors]

Thanks Kevin,

 

I know what you mean.

I want to do next week a little bit more building but Anja is also at home.

So maybe we are doing other things….

We shall see

And now back to work again 

 

[popeye the sailor]

"now.....let your creativity {anger} flow..........and complete your training"

 

 

I average four days off a week........sometimes I can get a lot done.........sometimes I can't.  it's just the nature of the beast.  you just keep plugg'in away Sjors..........your doing a great job! 

[Sjors]

Thanks Popeye,

 

I still do my best 

And I think there will be time for building ( or painting )
