Hey Augie,

 

It is here 16.45…..

When you are posting at that time for you, I'll be sleeping and then I have the opportunity to watch tomorrow evening and I'll be the last one to see finally that beauty when she's finished !

That's not fair!!!!!!!!

Mick,

 

I watch Google Earth       

Then you can see the firework that is coming from Colorado….

 

[Padeen]

Hi Sjors,

She is coming along nicely!   It has been a while since last time I had a chance to look at your build... Keep the pics coming!!!

About the oars, why not put an engine instead?     (probably harder to model, I agree, but only one to make...)

Hi Padeen,

 

Thank you 

 

I was wondering where you are lately.

I think you are enjoying the summer.

For the engine…..should be fun.

A ship from the year 1700 with an engine             

They have just inventing candles……..

What about the pictures….when the time is there, pictures are coming.

I have now posted 11 pictures in two days, is that not enough?

 

[texxn5]

Looks very nice Sjors.....keep up the pictures.....

[Sjors]

Thanks John,

 

I will post pictures again when I have to post something 

 

[realworkingsailor]

She's coming along quite well, Sjors. I've been quietly watching for a few weeks, not saying anything.....

Mostly because by the time I got here, everyone else had said everything....

Great job on the ship's boat and railings - all these additions are really making her look good!

11 pictures in 2 days!!! Thanks!!!

[Shazmira]

Yea Sjors!!! Great pics and a great build. You must be feeling pretty proud of yourself right now!

Progress is a good thing!!!!

[trippwj]

Commodore Sjors, SIR! My humble apologies for the tardiness of this response, Sir. The dinghy came out very well - good job SIR!

[popeye the sailor]

it's a lot nicer when HE has control of the camera....LOL!   it's OK Sjors.....I can understand..........I thought it was kinda fun,  making three times the amount of oars needed........just to get four that matched!   don't feel alone.....I had never made them either

 

you build looks great,  by the way! 

[augie]

Commodore Sjors, SIR! My humble apologies for the tardiness of this response, Sir. The dinghy came out very well - good job SIR!

GREAT SCOTT ---- now it's a dinghy!!!  Wayne, if you don't get your nomenclature straight they may deny your entrance into Maine

[lamarvalley]

Eh... dinghy... row boat... whatever... for now it's an oarless tho nicely made vessel that answers to any name

Thank you Sjors, you have spoiled us about pictures, so now we expect them.....I wonder who that sounds like??

[Sjors]

Thank you all !

 

@ Wayne,

 

I know that I have different names but now also my little boat??????????

I have no life over here……..

And for the pictures…..wait a while and there will be coming more.

When I have placed the chainplates

With the deadeyes of course.

So please be patient…...

Howdy Sjors,

 

Just getting caught back up - (hard around here to keep up with everyone, so much wonderful activitiy)

 

 

LOVE the cannons (Want to make sure you are on my side with the armada launches, I don't think any of my ships could stand up to those cannons!!)

 

The life boat looks really good and fits in nicely!!

 

 

Your ship really is coming along!!  Lots of details and colors  - LOVE IT.

 

 

-Adam

[Sjors]

Hi Adam,

 

Thanks my friend 

And no worries, I don't fight against friends….only enemies !

I'm glad you like it.

I still doing my best….

Soon I can try an other attempt at the rigging….hope that goes better then the Mirage.

 

[lambsbk]

Jus catching up on the build. It is a beautiful ship Sjors. Your hard work really shows through her.

[Sjors]

Thank you Dave,

 

She is on hold for the moment because I need a few stuff for her that I have to buy.

The chains of the deadeyes are things that I don't like and I have to change that.

When I have found new chains, I think I going further with her.

Also I'm busy with the ratlines on the Le Mirage.

 

[lambsbk]

Ahh... I am eyeing that job on my Connie build. I have decided to scrap the plastic molded ones and try making them myself.  But I have some trepidation about it not having done them before. Well, I will dive in when the time comes.

[Børge]

Sjors, your San Ildelfonso is looking very nice my friend, you have become a ery skilled builder i have to say.

I reeally looking forward to se her with masts.

 

Børge 

[Sjors]

Thanks Børge,

 

First the rigging of the Mirage…..take some time 

Now and then I will do a little with the masts.

If there is any progress , I'll show you

 

[rdsaplala]

Beautiful and clean detail work as always, Sjors, your San Ildefonso sure is a beautiful sight

[Sjors]

Thanks Aldo,

 

I want to go back on her but there is so much I have to do….

But I hope soon   

 

[realworkingsailor]

I want to go back on her but there is so much I have to do….

 

 

Yeah.... like get rid of that pesky pneumonia thing.......

 

(How are you feeling BTW?)

[vulcanbomber]

Lovely job on the ship's boat Sjors. San Ildefonso is looking a treat.

[Sjors]

Hi Andy and Caroline,

 

@ Andy,

 

I was in the hospital for 5 hours today….

They make a CT-scan and other funny pictures ( again )

They know now that I have no pulmonary embolism ( they where afraid of that )

It's just the bacteria .

So stronger antibiotics for 2 weeks….

No working for me at least the coming 3 weeks….(extended holiday? )

 

@ Caroline,

 

Thanks.

I like the little boat also   

And thanks for the positive words

Sjors:

 

Get well soon. I hope the second round of antibiotics is a winner.

 

Dave

[Sjors]

I hope also….

I want to do some rigging ! ( sounds funny isn't it      )
