Hello Adriaan,the model is looking first class,get better, whose running the ship,your in bed and Mick went fishing,I think we need to drop the anchor and re-group.Edwin

[Adrieke]

Thanks Anja. I am feeling better just in time for work tomorrow

 

thanks Ed.

 

at least I was able to do a bit of work

[Sjors]

Nice….. 

Looks like a swimming planck 

 

 

And isn't it always?

When you are off duty you feel not happy and when you go to work you feel better….

It should be the other way around…..

 

[Adrieke]

thanks Sjors. yes it does look like a swimming plank for now but please dont use it because you wil only end of splashing on the lower deck

[lamarvalley]

looking good Adriaan. Everytime I think you're about done there seems to be more..'

[Adrieke]

thanks Randy. yup still a lot more to do but apart from the wiring its all just routine

[DCIronfist]

Lol just routine huh? Must be nice :)

[Script]

Adriaan,

 

Any progress is good progress!

 

 

I guess a swimming plank is similar to a diving board?????

 

 

Jim

[Adrieke]

lol i mean David that i dont forsee any problems . knowing my luck murphy is going to prove me wrong

 

thanks Jim and yes a diving board i blame Sjors and early mornign in not picking that up 

[Sjors]

Thank you Adriaan for blaming me!

Forgive me that English is not my native langue…...

I'm al ready happy that I can write something understandable…..

At least, I think so……..

Sjors,

 

Your English is much better than many for which it is the native language!

 

 

Jim

[Adrieke]

Sjors don't worry you are very understandable even after 5 years here and reading novels in English and IT manuals ( that was before windows was born and anything IT was only available in the English language) I still make a lot of mistakes

 

didn't do much today except finalising what I am going to do with the wiring in the 3rd deck stateroom

 

the picture below shows my intentions :

the red square parts will be 1.5 mm thick plywood that will hold the wiring . the red circles will be little tubes through which the wiring will be guided from below the deck and will be invisible from outside . the green line is the wiring itself.

 

to guide the wiring from the middle 2 rooms to the 2 back ones I will add a bit of wood on each side of the  middle wall so that it will lie between those 2 and invisible from the 2 high windows.

 

I am hoping tomorrow to draw and cut out all the pieces of ply wood (including the 2 new curved walls)

for the 4 tubes I ll use cut off drinking straws

 

[Sjors]

I can smile again 

Everyone understand me !

So Adriaan, tomorrow I see the light….

 

[st george]

She's looking good Adriaan, can't wait to see her with the lights working.

[lamarvalley]

Yep, looking good and we're all waiting for the lights

[Micklen32]

Looks like it takes some planning Adriaan

Not sure whether I would like to light a model ship   

I did the lighting in a dolls house I made

Does that get me in the club      

Oh yes!!!

What IS that diving platform for       

 

Keep it up   

Mick

[Script]

Adriaan,

 

Looking fine!

 

It's gonna be cool when you get all the lighting working....

 

 

Jim

[Adrieke]

haha Sjors will take a bit longer there is still lots to do . i have to rethink the second deck stateroom wiring construction as i am having trouble putting it back in but dont worry i will sort that out soon

 

thanks David me too because then i can relax and slowly finish her off

 

thanks Randy i promise you wont need to wait too long

 

thanks Mick i made it more difficult then it can be just because i dont trust on it breakign down easily so i made it i can repair wiring if necessary but that has required me to think a lot. do you want to walk the plank Mick    dont worry there are no sharks around

 

thanks Jim i am particualr wanting to see how the sterring cabin one will look

[Adrieke]

marked out all the walls and ceiling bits to cut out of 1.5mm plywood

 

and after  cutting, bit of sanding and drilling the holes for the lights

 

tomorrow cleaning up the pieces more enlarging the holes and then paint one side white

 

then its ready to add the wiring

 

[Micklen32]

Hi Adriaan

 

I am presuming these ceilings and walls are extras to hide the wiring????

 

I have decided my next major build will be the OcCre Endeavour as it is a nice middle build that I should really enjoy doing

However the wife has just got me the OcCre Barcelona Taxi as she really likes it and she wants me to build it

That will keep me going until I can afford the Endeavour   

 

Nice work on yours

Keep it up   

Mick
 

[popeye the sailor]

awesome looking build Adrieke     I want to do lighting on a future build......pretty sweet the way your doing it.

[themadchemist]

WOW, this log is hard to keep up with.

That post #502 had me scratching my head, then I realized it was upside down to install the corner gingerbread. LOL

So are the allergies better, I hope.

Your making really good advancement, although alot of this wiring work wont really show, IT WILL SHOW.

I love that you took the time to light and also explain all your rigging.

 

Nice wheel house, can't wait to see it all together, Great Job my friend.

[cog]

Way to go Adrieke. Your solutions will be a nice manual for others whom will build this kit or want to build a shiny ship. You really are hard to keep up with - maybe I just should visit your log more often .... Well back to work

[Adrieke]

hey Mick. yes to hide and support the wiring . the endeavour wil be a nice build  and i l be looking forward to seeing your log

 

thanks popeye

 

thanks Keith   i am not too bad but sometimes the itching still drives me crazy  . i have learned a lot from other buildlogs so i hope explaining it all wil help others even if its mostly how not to do things

 

tanks Carl i thought i was going slow

[cog]

Slow ... more like Speedy Gonzales

[Adrieke]

"Excusa! Esta too mucho rapido for the eyes to follow? I'll show you in el slow motiono."      :P  

[Sjors]

Wow, He speaks Spanish……….

Well done Adriaan!

Next time the hole ship in scratch? ( When you finished the CF of course..)

 

[S.Coleman]

It's coming along great! On the second deck, the posts with the fancy brass triangle decorations, do your posts sit 90 degree, or are they on a slight tilt inward? I can't seem to get mine sitting correct. Anyway your wheel house looks great, keep it up.

[cog]

Et bien oui, esta mucho rapido for me. En cámara lenta sería genial :D (Non-Spanish speakers: Yes, far to quick. Slow motion would be great)

[Adrieke]

maybe after the GF I ll be ready for a scratch Sjors

 

Scott yes the head posts lean in as the top deck is slightly less wide. the angles get even more awkward at the front and back curves which makes fitting the railings and the triangles a bit annoying

 

I will try Carl but I want to finish her especially now
