Anja Posted March 9, 2014 Author #455 Posted March 9, 2014 Dear friends, My apologies to you all for letting you wait so long for an update. Your patience has been put to the test many times, and you've never let me down. I really appreciate that a lot. I feel I owe you an explanation for being so absent lately. A few weeks ago I was offered a now position within the company. One that will give me the opportunity to develop new skills and knowledge. I have been in my current job for over 20 years, but I hit a ceiling. I wasn't happy anymore. The job didn't challenge me or learned me new things. I was ready for a change. While it's okay to hold onto some of the things I've learned in my previous job and use that knowledge in my new job, I realise that my new job has it's own way of doing things. I know the skills I need for this position, and learning any that I need to develop or improve. Learning each new skill is my goal during my first few months. This has kept and keeps me busy and gives me little time for something else. It's a real challenge, but I love my new job. Thank you all again for your patience and understanding. Anja PS @ Udo, my hands are itching to start the Hannah. Bindy, augie, SkerryAmp and 11 others 14 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Dida Posted March 16, 2014 #467 Posted March 16, 2014 Hello all, Finally an update, it was long overdue. The railings and the grating at the bow section are in place. They just need a little touching up and staining. Now I can really see where I made the mistakes. Before placing the railings I wish I had thought of using a template to get the right angles/roundings like J. (JCT) did on his Half Moon. But that is water under the bridge and something to keep in mind for future reference. The rudder is also in place. Tomorrow it is time to start shaping the masts and spars. Thanks for watching.

Anja Posted March 18, 2014 Author #468 Posted March 18, 2014 Hello Hrvoje, Yes, I need to replace them. There were some problems, just have a look at this topic. It will explain a lot. http://modelshipworl...ance-scheduled/ Best regards, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

MarisStella.hr Posted March 26, 2014 #469 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Hi Anja... I'm sad because I have not before joined MSN because I'd before instructed You not to do the mistakes that You made when building this model ... I want to tell You that You know in the future, for the next build:...first make out the construction (connect the elements), set the base for the deck, so when You see that all is well spread glue with a brush to all points of contact between the elements ... then, sanding the edges. adjust bulkheads and plank the model with planks (always putting a plank on the one side, and the corresponding plank on the other side, so that You can always assure that they are placed equally on both sides of the model) ... then cut off the tops of the bulkheads (above the deck) and then plank the base of the deck with planks ... I would like to see your next work Excuse the bad English, please... P.S. please low the pics resolution please, I can not see all of Yours pictures too...

Anja Posted June 24, 2014 Author #473 Posted June 24, 2014 Hello Nenad, Thank you for stopping by and for asking. I am five months into my new job now. Spending my workday making decisions, trying to solve problems, evaluating new information, make/give presentations, make manuals/guidelines, provide workshops on how the program works. Pfffffffffffft It is still very demanding, but I hope that will all settle down in the near future. Next thursday it is vacation time for three weeks. And after that........ I will do my best to finish my Half Moon.
