Modeler12 Posted May 21, 2013 #302 Posted May 21, 2013 Prachtig Anja. But are there really two different ways you did the port and starboard? I can see the difference, but only you will remember when she is finished, right?

Stevinne Posted May 21, 2013 #303 Posted May 21, 2013 Anja, A very nice build. If you're worried about one plank, I am never going to post any of my builds here. Yikes! Now I know what I'll be getting my father-in-law for Christmas. I got him the MS Bluenose a couple of years ago to get his feet wet in the hobby, and the darn guy has done a better job on it than I did on my first build. He also concurrently built the MS Bounty launch and it seems like he's about done with both. The Half Moon is perfect for him because he's something like the great-great to the 39th power grandchild of Cornelius Mey, the Dutch explorer who gave his name to our Cape May down here. While I don't think Mey ever sailed with Hudson (though my wife told me early in our relationship the family story is he was the navigator for Henry's first trip to the New World) I think a Dutch jacht would be something he'd enjoy building and now I can steer him to your fine build for help and advice. I can't wait to see how the rest of your build progresses. Sjors 1 Quote Under construction: Mamoli Roter Lowe Completed builds: Constructo Enterprise, AL Le Renard Up next: Panart Lynx, MS Harriet Lane In need of attention: 14-foot Pintail in the driveway
Anja Posted May 21, 2013 Author #304 Posted May 21, 2013 Hello Stevinne, Welcome to my buildlog. Thank you very much for your kind words and the compliment. It is most appreciated. We are our own worst critics. We always think someone else is doing better. But most important is to enjoy and have fun with the build. You are building the Le Renard at the moment? I encourage you to start a buildlog here. There are a lot people here who are willing to help and advise. And we all learn from eachother. You are a descendant of Cornelis Mey! Dutch explorer, captain, trader and the first governor of the New-netherlands. Impressive. Not only Cape May was named after Cornelius Mey, but I believe also the city of Cape May and Cape May County, both in New Jersey. I know he sailed the Hudson river, but I have never read he was a navigator with Henry Hudson. I'm sure your father will enjoy building building the Half Moon. She is a beautiful little ship and fun to build. Thanks again and take care, Anja avsjerome2003 1 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Prachtig Anja. But are there really two different ways you did the port and starboard? I can see the difference, but only you will remember when she is finished, right? Hello Jay,Dank je wel. Sorry, I missed your post. Yes, two different ways because I wasn't paying attention and made a mistake. And yes, you are right. Hi Anja, Between you both you have made a wonderful fix, she is looking absolutely superb. Now you have your MoJo back there'll be no stopping you. Very well done mobbsie Hello Mobbsie,Yes, now that she is sanded, I'm happy. She looks good. Thank you all looking in, the kind words and the compliment.

harlequin Posted May 21, 2013 #307 Posted May 21, 2013 Great looking planking. I dont know about you but once I start with the planking thats when the ship starts to take its first breath. You are starting to put meat on the bones and the whole thing starts to grow. Anja 1 Quote
Anja Posted May 21, 2013 Author #308 Posted May 21, 2013 Hello Harlequin, Welcome to my buildlog and thank you for the kind words and compliment. It is appreciated. Yes, I agree. When you start planking, that's when she's beginning to take shape and look like a real ship. After that the fun begins. Dressing her up with the deck fittings, mastst, the rigging etc. Looking forward to that. Thanks again and take care, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are. In the gallery: Albatros 1840 - Constructo

Anja Posted May 23, 2013 Author #314 Posted May 23, 2013 Hello Augie, I know, I'm letting you down and I'm sorry. But I'll be just one forum away. And I already reserved you a first class seat in the front. Feel better now? I keep telling myself over and over again that scratchbuilding is much better for me than a kit build. I think for me, it is much more enjoyable than building from a kit. And my ultimate dream is to scratchbuild the VOC ship 'Prins Willem'. So, that is why I start with the Hannah. Not just yet though. I just placed the order yesterday, so it will be some time before I can start. First I finish the Half Moon. Make sure she is ready for her maiden voyage. Take care, Anja PS - Yes, Sjors know about this. And I may borrow his tools augie, Sjors, Adrieke and 3 others 6 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are. In the gallery: Albatros 1840 - Constructo

trippwj Posted May 24, 2013 #323 Posted May 24, 2013 Anja - let me join with the others - based on the work you have done on d'Halve Maen, I think you are, indeed, up to the task of scratch building.
