Hi, this must have scared a lot of people, but glad it working again. So now the life boats, well I was raiding the Nina for parts for the  Pinta  decided to make the canons,and the life boats.

They  turn out good the boars  ,I mean..

 The canons I had made different but, after the first one thought it was not right so made them this way instead.

Thanks

[Knocklouder]

You must have gotten me confused with another staffer. I don't handle NRG issues.

  I came to the same conclusion ... When asked what the first thing was I reply, "I don't remember.".

[Knocklouder]

Hi,

Spoiler

No got a hold of NRG office awhile ago they said administers will do it for me but with all that's been going on their hands are full, it will happen when it does , like ups sucks cant deliver a package on time lost 3 days pay and counting wont be here till aug 4th holly I need Pinta parts lol what can you do.

    was wondering now that the Santa Maria is done and will be under the case soon , the sails I just stained in coffee and was wondering if I should do anything to them to help them last, because all 3 ships will be done the same way, will they last what can I do to help it last that sort of thing.

   Really like being able to see how to do thing here at MSW my first build was because of MSW showing me were  to look at what logs and advise , A member who has a Tom Cruise avatar of the Last Samaria his Finished  log is so good ,Of the Santa Maria ,that was were I copied the rigging He is so talented like so many others  here I will learn so much but got to attend to my sails and more computer lessons lol  waiting for parts  reading reading reading lol Later

I don't know how I did those hidden comments lol

[Knocklouder]

Just to clarify some thing I copied his rigging, but did not pay attention to his knot tieing and  that was my mistake, he is really good and watching his log is so fascinating,  everyone is helping so much thanks guys   really glad I stayed 

[Knocklouder]

Hi where to begin 😆, Someone asked me how and what  I  cut my planks with, I have upgraded lol thanks to him and his advise.

Was going to start a new log for Nina, waiting for parts ,u p .. something, they can't seem to deliver lol Anyway  because it's here on the shelf, but life turns so quick. 

 

 Seems my son has got "Polymorphous  Light  Eruption "  please only make me spell that once  lol,  it means he is sensitive to light, sunlight and he's was a welder, made him sick, lost his job, they fired him, lost his pension money,  what can you do , good news is he's ok and moving back home, bonus  bringing two more kids too lol. So tech support  won't be far, should help my computer skills elevate fast.

Not going to start  the Nina , one ship at a time, but use her parts for Pinta and this is where she stands now

So glad to be able to see these logs, they do  such a great job and so detailed  too, ideas just bounce everywhere,  I was looking at a log of the Winnie.  Was that fantastic!  So many good logs and to think I was going to run because of my computer problems and BANG tech support upstairs,  now just have to learn how to build ships right,  so counting on you guys. lol The mask is for my grandson's  Viking ship.  It's going to be his sail.  Should he start a log??? lol, Him and I want to fill this case with models. what a journey  I have set sail on. Thanks for you patience.  Still no NRG flag but it's the long weekend.  I know...waiting for parts lol.

Well you guess it no delivery today😔,don't even want to talk about it  lol,

 

After I took the clamps off I glued a bit more inside, and got it ready for the 2x2 . Also drew  lines where the bulk heads are , to me it make sense to start plaking the out side of the ship starting with these two planks,  they are not glued  waiting  to make sure. I figured they must have had 20 foot planks for sure so . I said the ship is  60 feet long no one knows for sure lol, so made 10 cm planks to be my 20 foot planks. I  like the deck coming nicely can't wait to put some finish coats on it.
