What a lovely trio ( last pic of your post ), I love those vessels under sails, and the "San Ildefonso" as your flagship is a beautiful looking model you can be proud of....

Thank you all !

Also for the likes.....

 

@ Randy,

 

Thanks !

I'm proud of what I have done !

She is big and I thought when you are building a big one, it's gonna be easy.

I was wrong !!!!!!

Because she is big you see really everything.

yep, also the mistakes but I'm learning.

 

@ Grant,

 

I keep it with one beer otherwise the bowsprit is ending up at the stern.

The Aggie finished soon ?

I don't think so !

And thanks !

 

@ Ulises,

 

Thank you also.

And yes, it feels great.

Also it feels a little sad....if there is nothing to do anymore.....

And there is, the Aggy :D:D

 

@ Tim,

 

Thank you very much !

And as you can see in my signature, I have all ready another build.

The Agamemnon from Caldercraft.

 

@ Daddy Nick,

 

Thank you also !

And if you don't mind, I'm not finishing Augie :D:D:D

He is to big for me !

I will go back to the Aggy and nope, not finished in a few days......

That can take a few years !!!!!!

The dark side is still far away for me but you never know.....some where in the future :P

 

@ Larry,

 

Also thank you for the kind words.

 

@ Nils,

 

Thanks for the words in my own langue !

I am proud and it looks terrific those 3 ships together.

The models are now back in there own place.

Guarding the house......

 

@ Sam,

 

Thanks !

Be careful with the klompen.

When you are not used to it to walk or dance on it you can brake a few bones.

And that's something we don't want, do we ??

 

Robert,

 

Also thank you !!!!

 

@ Jason,

 

Thanks !!!

I think I take that picture as my avatar :D:D

Beautiful, Sjors, just beautiful!  Your current fleet is impressive - once you add the Aggie into that fleet, one would almost think you could dominate your local canals!

 

It does leave me wondering, though, that since you have this apparent tendency to continue to grow the ships (appears the Aggie will dwarf the Fonz), what could you possibly have waiting in the wings?

CONGRATULATIONS, my friend.

 

She is an accomplishment of which you deserve to be very, very proud.  And your fleet is impressive, to say the least.  I look forward to the day we can see your Aggie join in alongside.

 

This is my smile for the day  :)

My ships are to big for the channels.....maybe the North sea  :D  :D  :D  ???

I have a few (2) options for coming builds.

But who cares.....we have all the time of the world ( I hope )
