gjdale Posted April 9, 2013 Share #123 Posted April 9, 2013 Congratulations Anja. Of course, the selection committee here at MSW had already decided that you would have the job! After all, how could they pass up your stunning intellect, charm and youthful good looks. Brains AND Beauty! Now that that is settled, please tell your employer you need to make up for some lost time in the shipyard! augie, mobbsie, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anja Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #128 Posted April 9, 2013 Hello Wim, Grant, Alex, Geoffrey, Mobbsie, Jim, Anthony, Thank you all so very much for all your kind words. It makes me feel happy to have so many friends from all over the world. As Grant suggested, I told my employer I needed to make up for some lost time in the shipyard! But, unfortunately, they didn't want to give me any extra time ..... Sorry, just kidding But I promise I will dig my Half Moon out from under the dust and continue the second planking coming weekend. No more excuses. Otherwise Sjors will drag me to the shipyard. Thank you again and take care, Anja Sjors, trippwj and avsjerome2003 3 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Anja Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share #143 Posted April 14, 2013 Hello friends, Here it is, a little update on my Half Moon. Finally! The second planking on the starboard side is underway. I re planked the poopdeck because it was damaged. The frames of the main deck and the forecastle weren't all aligned and straight. I reduced the size of the frames on the main deck to make them more straight. And I totally removed the frames on the forecastle. Then I made inner bulwarks to be placed against the hull. Thank you for this idea Mobbsie. But before placing them permanently, I will have to see if the railing will still fit. Unfortunately the wood that is used for the inner bulwarks is of a different colour than the deck planking. I tried to stain the inside of the hull, but that was not a success. It doesn't cover the wood very well. So, I think I'm also going to use planks for the inside of the hull. Then everything will have the same color. Second planking starboard side is underway Reduced the size of the frames to place an inner bulwark. Replanked the forecastle deck and removed the frames The inner bulwarks for the main deck and the forecastle. Inner bulwark dryfitted in place The inner bulwark for the forecastle dry fitted in place Thanks for looking in and take care, Anja capnharv2, janos and JesseLee 3 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.
