Hi Mobbsie she is coming along very well the gun decks and the netting look rearly good, look forward to more updates.

[gjdale]

Looking great Mobbsie. I see you've resumed your warp speed for building!

[popeye the sailor]

I had to look again.........that curved railing is really an eye catcher........I do have to agree with the others as well........that's some pretty fast work,  on some pretty small details....very nice

hadn't commented yet but I was just re-re-looking over your log and I have to say I rather like the signature series brass cannon tips protruding from the ports against the black background of the wales. I really like that shade of blue also.

 

Excellence again

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for the comments and kind words guys, they really do act as a spur.

 

I have a bit more progress to show.

 

Since my last post I have attached the Poop deck and planked it, made and fitted the skylight, cavel cleats, mizzen bit, Poop deck railings and added the ringbolts and cleats.

 

A first for me is the hammock netting on the Poop deck railing, I'm quite pleased with the way it's come out but it played holy hell with my eyes, I only have another 6 long ones to make, hope I can do them justice.

 

I might need treatment after their made.

 

I have a few pics, need to satisfy you know who:-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there we have it, right up to date.

And again a amazing job Mobbsie,

 

You can be proud and happy with your progress !

It looks great, all of it !

It's the little things that gives the final touch !

That netting came out very well, Mobbsie!  I think he with no name but a gnome infestation will be impressed (I know that I am...)

[themadchemist]

Nicely done. I'm with you on the eye thing. I just about live with optivisors anymore. I went to bed the other night and they were still on, ugh.

oh well, doesn't seem to slow you down and hurt the quality of your artistry.

 

Wonderful additions, You'll soon be shaping masts.

Hello Mobbsie,

 

The netting is looking great.

You don't need any treatment when you're finished, only a little eye rest. And new glasses.

 

Good luck with the rest of the netting, may the become as beautiful as the first.

Great job on the hammock netting  Tony.... keep an eye on your eyes   

[Jim Lad]

Looking good, Mobbsie.

 

As rest for your eyes after the fine work, try gazing at a pint of bitter down at the pub!

fantastic work Mobbsie!  that's quite a bit of progress....if you get right down to it.   the hammock netting looks great........may have bothered your eyes........but I see it as some really nice eye candy.      very nice!

[mtaylor]

Not just fast, but very clean and precise.  That netting proves that.  Close eyes, put a cool damp cloth over them.  The sit back with your favorite beverage.  Works for me everytime.

Hi Mobbsie nice job on the netting it is a very tricky job to get right.

[PMG]

Hi Mobbsie,

what a beautiful deck! Amazing.

[jastrząb]

I really like the small details. They look realistic. A great level of advancement

[gjdale]

Great work Mobbsie. Love the hammock netting

[lamarvalley]

Fantastic Mobbsie. The netting is outstanding along with all the little details. Beautiful!

[george]

Have to agree with everyone else hammock netting looks great, as does the rest of the work.

No way I could keep up with your pace, struggling through Gun carriages at the moment

[augie]

Great stuff, Mobbsie.  LOVE the hammock netting.

[mobbsie]

Hi Guys,

 

Thank you all for looking in and the very kind comments and remarks you've made, very much appreciated.

 

I have made a little progress since my last post, I continued with the hammock nettings and have completed them which is what I'm going to post now.

 

I dedicate these pictures to my good friend Sjors ( you know how demanding he can be ), get well soon mate, rest up and take whatever Anja gives you.

 

Sorry about the quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that's all there is for now, I'm currently working on the stern decorations, the manual calls for yellow ochre for everything, but you know me, I want some colour so am doing my own thing.

She is really shaping up Mobbsie.  The nettings add a veil of interest, just as they did on a fine lady.

 

Commodore Sjors may have the first recorded case of pneumonia where the primary symptom is drooling 

[gjdale]

Now that is some quality netting there Mobbsie

 

Looking forward to seeing your take on the stern decorations.
