My Admiral suggested the same technique, Lawrence.  Hopefully a handsome guy like Sjors has a hairdryer......or Anja can help.

Thanks everyone,

 

Questions has to be answered ,so here we go.

 

@ Lawrence and Augie,

 

I hate it to tell you but we don't need ( or have ) a hairdryer.......

And to buy one for only one time.....nope, that's not gonna happened !

We both have hair but not that long !

When I was 18 yes, I needed a hairdryer  :D  :D  :D

Hair till my shoulders....... ( the gold old days  :D )

 

@ Lawrence,

 

I have plenty of space to display her.

She can go to the corridor, hobby room ( with all the dust ) or bedroom.

I think it's gonna be the last one.

But she's not finished yet !

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

It's difficult to find the way to that jungle.

It's looking very carefully where the ropes are going and I have to re-do a lot of ropes....

But that's normal for me  :P

 

@ John,

 

Thank you !

Sails are complicated !

But all the 23 sails are on it now  :D

There was a question from Lawrence a while back about the stay sails.....yes I have them and yes, they are on !

 

Randy,

 

You are not the only one who's confused !

Count me also in please.

Maybe it looks easy but I tell you, it isn't !!!!!!!

When I start the next rope I have to examine closely the drawing to see where they goes !

Then with your big hands, you have to crawl over and under everything.......

 

@ Adam and John,

 

Thanks !!!!!!!

 

Also thanks for the likes !!!!!

It goes fast this way  :D  :D

Sjors,

 

We're all looking over your shoulder and it's really crowded behind you.  Your ship is looking super, my friend.

A small update without pictures.....

 

I have to make 8 more stays and then the rigging is finished !

I know I forget a few ropes and don't ask me where all the ropes are going but I'm happy with it !

After the rigging I still have to make the anchors and the lanterns.....

After that it's finished !! :D  :D  :D

 

Mark,

 

I don't mind that everyone is behind me as long that they don't want coffee !!!!

Popcorn is no problem and if they want a beverage , I have to go to the store.

But please, can everyone do their own dishes ?????????

Beautiful work, Sjors - it took me a bit to find a gap in the crowd to look over your shoulder and see what was going on (thanks for the step stool - I am far too short to see over you unassisted!).

 

So as you move down the home stretch, what is next - or did I miss that announcement somewhere?

I'm not sure what you are saying Wayne.....

What's next after the Fonz ?

 

How about the Agamemnon ?????

That one is still not finished !!!!!!!!

 

And you are welcome for the step stool  :D  :D

Take your own cup top the kitchen please.....

I hate to mention this, but your dishwasher is broken, Sjors...

 

I figured that, with Fonzie wrapping up, and the Aggie well along as well, you would be starting something new to keep busy!!!

Broken dishwasher?   We'll just have to take our cups with us to the Aggie build.  Maybe do a bit sweeping up of the popcorn off the floor, dust a few things...  ;)

Wayne ,

 

To answer your question......there is no other build !

When the Fonz is finished, only the Aggy will be on the table.

And sorry to tell you.....we don't have a dish washer !

Everything is doing by our own hands.......

 

@ Mark,

 

When we are moving to the Aggy, I get our lease dog to clean up the place.

Take only your chair and cup with you.

 

@ Augie,

 

The whole fleet of Trafalgar ??????????

Over how many ships are we talking then.....

Don't tell me, I look it up !

We are talking about 60 ships !!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a place where I can show them all ????????

Final update !!!!!

 

She's finished......

A long journey but a wonderful one.

Thank you all for the comments and likes, helpful tips, pointing out the mistakes to me and more of that funny stuf  :D  :D

It was a pleasure for me to build her  and to share it with you all !

The time has come to dust off the Agamemnon and go on with her.

 

Thank you all again 

 

Sjors
