Recommended Posts

Hi Sjors

 

I thought I would drop in and have a look :) Your San Ildefonso is looking fabulous B) Excellent work.I have to ask the question though :D With completion not that far down the road,are you now a convert to two builds at once?In other words will you start another before Aggies completion?

 

Kind Regards

Thanks Denis and Nigel,

 

@ Denis,

 

Every day is my birthday  :D  :D  :D  :D

Every day I get one day older.....so I can give me myself a present when I want to  :D  :D  :D  :D

But the titel Master builder ???????

At the moment I'm more an apprentice !

When I look at your build or that from others....I have still a lot to learn !

For example....being patient !

I want to rush things and then the moderator in the house is giving me comment and I have to re-do things !

Never lives together with a moderator !!!!!!!

I have to because I love her !!!!

 

@ Nigel,

 

Thanks for the good words !

Finishing can still take a while but slowly I get there.

And then for your question.....

I don't know yet what I'm gonna do when the Fonz is finished.

First finishing the Aggy and then to another build or doing again 2 builds at the same time.

I know all ready what my next build is gonna be.

But I keep that in the fridge for a while  :D  :D

Main royal stay

Main topgallant stay

Main topmast preventer stay

 

Then I have try to make a connexion between the eyebolt and the stay ....but again, the rope going on his own way....turning around again ! :angry:

No, real life is getting in the way at the moment, I keep looing at pegasus and wishing I could find some more time to work on her, she sits there looking at me rather forlornly!

 

Hopefully will find some time soon.

Thanks Kevin,

 

I have just done a few running rigging.

I had some problems with the rope that goes down at the main mast.

The blocks where again in a twisting mood  :(

Tomorrow I will begin at the stays.

No pictures because my external disc has left me....broke.

I need to buy another one before I can save the pictures.

So everyone, be patient......

But when i have an update, I can show you something !

Also an update for the Fonz  :D  :D

When the planks are drying on the Aggy, I have make the main royal stay's......

The only difficulty I find out are the blocks that are at the bottom of the Main-  and Mizzen mast.

The rope was again twisting all the time.

But I think it will be ole.

I don't know if it is the right way to tie the rope what I have done but there is almost no working space.

For the next time I think I will make that first BEFORE i go to the shrouds and ratlines.

Then I have space enough......
