San Ildefonso by Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:70

[Sjors]

Hi Robbyn,

 

You are waiting for an update.....

I think the San Ildefonso also 

She is high on the shelf watching the birth of the Aggy.

On the first of January I started on that one and make some pictures.

You don't have to search, just click on the link at the bottom of the post 

I have saved a chair for you and Sherry but those chairs are still empty........

I have saved a chair for you and Sherry but those chairs are still empty........

You need to go back and have a look...I already have a chair and I'm waiting for more photos! 

 

 

[Sjors]

I know that Sherry but your seat was empty...

I thought you was looking for Robbyn.....  

Did you find her ??

 

[DORIS]

Hello Sjors,

Let me express my admiration to your precise and inspirational work. The rigging looks superb, I like all the pics very much. The ship is also nice and

impressive.

Have a great time during the build.

 

Kind regards,

Doris

[Sjors]

Thanks Doris.

 

I'm not at the level you are but I'm happy so far   

For the moment I'm busy with the Agamemnon, planking the middle gun deck.

When that's finished, I go back to this one.

 

[Sjors]

Here I'am again with something that I have done.

The lower shrouds are on .....

Still turning deadeyes but ok, I think they are straight now.

The first shroud is totally served and I have the deadeyes make a little higher then the other ones.

So you will see it better that it is a shroud without ratlines.

I don't know the name of it so maybe someone can tell me that ?

I also make the futtock stave.

That's a job I really want that left behind but then it's not correct ( I think ).

After a few words who are not te be translated, there on.

It don't deserve maybe a beauty price but I keep it this way.

Next thing to do are the little shrouds that goes from the top deadeye to the end of the serving and then.....ratlines !

Nice to see you back at it Sjors. That's impressive looking work.

Nice to see an update there Sjors - that's some mighty fine looking work.

[mobbsie]

Hi Buddy,

 

I like what you've done here mate, it's good to see some progress.

 

Why hasn't that first shroud not got any ratlines on it, in most cases it's the last shroud that doesn't have a full set, the last shroud is usually tied in with a row of ratlines every 10 rows, I'm not saying it's wrong after all she is a Spanish vessel it's just unusual that's all. Unless I've read it wrong which would be par for the course.

 

Keep the good work up mate.

 

Be Good

Nice looking work up going around the mast at the tops.

[Sjors]

Thanks all !

Also for the likes...

 

@ Bob, 

 

I'm not at your level yet but I love what I'm doing at the moment   

 

@ Popeye,

 

You give the San Ildefonso also a nick name ???

The Fonz       

Happy days are here again !

 

@ Grant,

 

Thank you 

It only cost me 2 weeks to do that...

But now I'm 10 day of from work so next week I can do a lot   

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Thank you also and you are right.

The last one has a ratline on every 10 row.

When I start to make those little animals I will keep that in mind !

 

@ Augie,

 

It's crowd at the top.......

 

[newbuilder101]

You have been a busy boy! Those shrouds and tops look great! I love how the look of the ship changes so much once the shrouds and ratlines go on.

[Sjors]

Hi Sherry,

 

I was not that busy.

An hour here of there and that's it !

Work is in the way......

But I'm happy that you like it   

 

@ Lawrence,

 

Thank you also.

I know you will do a better job with those ropes then I do.

The rope from OcCre is just terrible.

But to late to change it.

I hope that the rope for the Aggy is much better otherwise I will change that.

VERY impressive Sjors! I agree with Sherry, the shrouds really changes the look and character, very majestic.

[riverboat]

Nice work on the shrouds Sjors... the serving looks great!!

Frank

[trippwj]

Dang, Sjors - nice work!  Fonzie is looking really statuesque now!!!

[Sjors]

Thanks Sam, Frank and Wayne,

 

@ Wayne, shall I re-name the build into Fonzie       

Now we have the Aggy and the Fonzie....

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

I have take another look to the drawings and they are saying that the first shroud ( the one close to the main mast ) has NO ratlines.

The second one has every 10 row a ratline....

Just what you are saying before....maybe because she is Spanish ????

Or I can put a Dutch flag on it     

 

[SkerryAmp]

Everything is looking great Sjors!  Fonzie - LOVE IT! =)

[Shazmira]

Nice rope work Sjors, very glad you could get that done in the middle of everything else.

[Sjors]

Hi Robbyn,

 

The rope is terrible and I know I should have change that but I didn't.....

My mistake !

Now I have to row with the peddles that I've got !

Thanks for the visit.

 

[Sjors]

It's nice when I am alone at home and Anja is working ....

Someone has to make money !

That means that I have the house for my own, stereo on 30 and tying knots......

Result ? ratlines at the lower part of the main mast done !

We can now go further at the middle section of the main mast.

Making shrouds, turning deadeyes and ratlines again.

Maybe not this afternoon because of the speed skating in Sotchi.

Maybe we can colour the stage again orange !

Or as Shani Davids it is saying....they will BE DUTCHT !!!!!!! ( love that line )

 

 

 

 

 

[patrickmil]

Those pictures are very nice Sjors. It looks like you've done quite a bit since I last looked at your log. Very nice progress.

[rafine]

Beautifully done ratlines Sjors. Isn't it always a pleasure to look back at a section of them that you've just done and go "whew" -- one less area of ratlines that you still have to do.

 

Bob.

[augie]

Very nice progress my friend.  Don't go deaf with the stereo that loud. 

 

Enjoy your speed skating.  You've even got us here rooting for the orange.  Of course, there ARE other winter sports in Sochi !  Like Olympic Ratline Tying.

[Beef Wellington]

Very inspiring Sjors, those ratlines look great.  Are you going to leave them natural or stain them black?  And you got them all done in an afternoon?!

[Sjors]

Thanks my friends 

 

@ Patrick,

 

It looks a lot and maybe it is..... I don't know.

But is feels good that I have done the main mast ratlines

 

@ Bob,

 

Yes, it gives a lot of satisfaction when you finish something.

But when you are almost at the end of something, you want to leave it behind you and then...the phone rings, someone at the door, you have to go to the bathroom....

But it is done.

Up to the next one !

 

@ Augie,

 

No worries my friend.

The wharf is upstairs so I'm not getting deaf 

You know what Shani Davis is telling you....you are gonna be BE DUTCHT !

Not with Bob de Jong but ok, the guy is 37.....

And you create a new Olympic something ? tying ratlines ?????????

 

@ Jason,

 

Thank you very much 

I leave the ratlines natural because the shrouds are brown and it's a nice contrast.

No, not in one afternoon....just a day and a half.

And that not all the time .

Very Impressive "Your Majesty" 

Its good t have the house to yourself for a few hours,I am jealous though, my stereo only goes to "11"

Sam

[mobbsie]

Hi Sjors,

 

You've got a lot done there mate well done, looking good. A few more to do but less than you've done.   :)  

 

I now know why you guys do so well in the skating, you have a 221 Km, 11 cities race around the Nordland, max time of 14 hours. Gotta be quick before the ice melts.  

 

Speak to you later mate.

 

Be Good

[popeye the sailor]

making some good progress there,  Sjors..........the rats look great!
