What about a whole pie ???????

 

[popeye the sailor]

hmmmmmm.....creme pie...........clowns like creme pies.   why.....it's their weapon of choice!

[mobbsie]

Hi Guys,

 

OK I give up.

 

Sjors has lost his marbles, Popeye wants a big slice of cake, Wayne's trying to get everybody into trouble so I give up, the Admiral gone to the shop for apple pie, that's after she swept under the fridge for some round spherical things for Sjors.

Please don't worry Sjors, you'll get yours.  

 

 

Some pics as promised

 

Bow Catch Netting ( made possible by Grant )

 

 

 

Bulkhead colour scheme ( hope you like it )

 

 

 

This is my way of putting in the calking

 

Adding treenails

 

Completed fore deck

 

Completed aft deck

 

First coat of varnish applied fore deck

 

 

First coat of varnish applied to the after deck

 

I don't think the 2 butt worked out to bad in the end

 

That's all the pics for now guys, I hope you enjoy them, now for the bulwarks and the deck furniture.

 

If there are any complaints about picture quality would you please take it up with Sjors.

pictures look great - nice work my friend, sorry they are picking on you, lol - but whilst they are - they are leaving me alone

[Kevin]

isnt that a 3 butt system?

[Anja]

Hello Mobbsie,

 

Very nice work there my friend.

Deck planking looks great and so do the columns in blue.

 

Well done,

 

Anja

[Sjors]

Great job Mobbsie !!!!

 

That looks fabulous...

Also love the colours of the pillars.

When you now look under the deck, you can see them 

Your planking is also great.

And before I forget it….THANKS for the pictures.

You see guys? when I'm yelling I've got them         

The netting on the bow is just the finishing touch!

 

[augie]

Love the blue, fantastic caulking.  Nothing left to say here

[mobbsie]

Hi Kevin,

 

A 3 butt system is the number of planks between butt joints on the same bulkhead frame.

 

Mine has only 2, which is not what I intended at all, I should have cut the scale plank into 4 lengths which would have given me my 3 butt, I only cut 3 lengths.

 

A simple error but not the end of the world. hope that helps mate.

love what you did with the aft cabin walls.........the netting and the decking looks superb as well.......great bit of progress overall!

[PMG]

Very nice progress and very nice columns!

Pierre

[Kevin]

lol - you learn something new everyday, i honestly believed that the butt system was the amount of boards before a repeat on the same frame, Explains why i have always gone wrong

[Kevin]

and yes i checked to see what you wrote was right

[mtaylor]

Mobbsie,

 

Nice work on the nets, bulkheads and planking. You are not only fast, you have a high standard for quality also.  

 

(And see, at no time did I bring up pies, cakes, marbles, butts, fishing, pictures or popcorn....  oh.. wait..too late.  )

[realworkingsailor]

I like your bulkhead colour scheme... Ties in nicely with the beakhead. Everything else is pretty well done too

 

Andy

[gjdale]

Great pics Mobbsie, she's looking superb. I reckon that bow netting is well travelled - you've done a great job there mate. Love the colour scheme on the bulkheads too. Regardless of what you intended for the shift of the butts, the deck looks great!

[trippwj]

Admirable work, Mobbsie. Those colors look fantastic!

[ZyXuz]

The netting is really a superb job, well done!

I applied the caulking before I glue them on..

your way looks easier!

 

Thanks for sharing it!!

[riverboat]

Mobbsie , she's looking great!!...... and I have to agree with Mark on your speed and high quality work..... I like the way you did the caulking !..... and the pictures are fine  , I guess we can thank Sjors for that!!!

Frank

[Adrieke]

Hey, Mobbsie, you've got a long way on your monster while I've been away!

 

Great job, mate!!

 

John

[mobbsie]

Hi Guys,

 

Thank you all very much for the very kind words and encouragement, I really do appreciate them.

 

John, great to have you back mate and thanks for the good words.

 

Frank, thank you my friend, I reckon all our photography has improved since Sjors been around.

 

Mark, I'm really pleased you didn't bring up pies, cakes, marbles, buts, fishing and all that other stuff, and thanks for your kind words, I take that as a real compliment coming from you. 

 

Grant, thanks mate, that netting certainly has travelled, and it hasn't finished it's journey yet, some of it will be making it's way across the North Sea.

 

ZyXuz, I used to do my caulking before laying the planks but I found I was not getting an even cover, just have to ensure the pencil doesn't jump the plank or you can end up with a nice pencil line across the already laid planks, I use an HB lead.

 

Peter, Wayne, Andy, Adriek

 

I have made some small progress which I will show you:-

 

Upper deck bulwarks are now all lined and painted red ochre, all guns are fitted and rigged, gratings are fitted as are the ladders, mast bits, ships wheel, timberheads breast railings, barricade railing, cavel cleats and blocks, and lastly the pin rails are all fitted.

 

Some pics :-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it gents, as usual all comments and remarks are more than welcome.
