Hi Sjors

 

I have to compliment you on the progress so far and your decking and wood nails technique...

 

Well done Mate!

 

I will follow your build with much interest indeed...

Pfffffff!!!

@ Rod,

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of modelling an Aggy !

I have see that you visit all the Aggy logs.

But 2 till 3 years before you get started on her ?

Shame on you !!!!!!!!

Start tomorrow !

 

 

 

Hi Sjors,

I would love to start on the Aggie tomorrow but as they say, you must walk before you run.

I am very much a beginner and need to get a few easier models under my belt and gain a lot more experience before I tackle such a big and complex build.

Thanks for the encouragement though.

[Sjors]

Thanks Sam, Bala the Noob ?, Wayne for the pffffff    And Lawrence,

 

@ Sam,

 

No worries.

I make a lot of sawdust !

I have shape the filler blocks for the bow.

That's balsa wood so you know how much sawdust is coming from that !

But when I'm finished with that, cleaning again ( otherwise troubles with Anja )

 

@ Bala the Noob ,

 

I don't think that's your name.

Do you have a name otherwise I'll give you one       

 

@ Wayne,

 

When you learn something new you always have to use it all the time 

So your new word is pfffffff ?   

 

@ Rod,

 

It's brave that you tell us this.

When you have the feeling that the Aggy is to much at the moment.....wait with it !

But please, not to long ?

We don't getting any younger here......

 

@ Lawrence,

 

The tools has nothing to do with santa.

It was my own pocket money !

And now I'm broke ......

But I have the tools !

 

Then the little update.

Place and sand the blocks in the bow.....

One picture this time but it is one !

 

[popeye the sailor]

Aggie's got puffy cheeks!   nice!!!

[patrickmil]

Very nice filler blocks Sjors! I can't wait to see some planks on her.

[Sjors]

Thanks Popeye, and Patrick,

 

@ Popeye,

 

Puffy cheeks........

 

@ Patrick,

 

Take a look at my next post     

 

[Sjors]

The first planks are on !

It's the planking of the inner bulwark.

And you can never have enough clamps   

 

[patrickmil]

Very nice Sjors! I promise that I don't have the ability to see into the future...  . You are making some good progress on ship.

[popeye the sailor]

your off on what looks to be a very long road.........your going to give your tools a good work out.   very nice! 

[trippwj]

Nice start on the planking - did you leave any planks for other builders in the Netherlands?????

[Sjors]

Thanks Patrick, Popeye and Wayne,

 

@ Patrick,

 

Please look into the future and tell me how she looks when she is finished   

 

@ Popeye,

 

I don't have bought those tools to show them...

So I use them ! 

 

@ Wayne,

 

No worries about the planks.

There is so much that I can plank another one !

 

[Sjors]

And to make it up to date.....

A few pictures of the inner bulwark planking and painting.

 

 

 

[patrickmil]

The bulwarks look good in red Sjors. The future tells me that your Aggie is going to look awesome and will be a fearsome beast!!! Please keep all those cannons pointed away from me.

[Beef Wellington]

Looking good Sjors - how did you do the inner planking, did you glue the strips together off the model and then install or did you glue one on at a time?  You've got a nice smooth surface.  Also, did you find you needed to bevel the interior frame surfaces so they sit properly?  Sorry for so many questions!

[texxn5]

Great beginnings...looks wonderful as usual. Keep the pictures coming...

[Shazmira]

Wow, you seem to be getting right through all the steps rather quickly and nicely!

[mtaylor]

Sjors,

 

You are flying along.  Did Mobbsie give you his planking elves? At this rate, you'll pass him up.

[Trussben]

Nice to see you flying along with the planking Sjors.

 

Ben

[Sjors]

Thanks all again 

Also for all the likes ! I like it   

 

@ Patrick,

 

Thank you very much.

I will do best to make your profession right !   

 

@ Jason,

 

Questions are always welcome.

I put every plank separate on the frames.

When all of them are there, I sand it a little and then paint them.

They gonna have another layer of paint after I make the gun ports.

If there is any damage, I can fix that.

I have not bevel them.

It just fits perfect !

If you have more questions, just ask.

 

@ John,

 

Thank you 

pictures are coming if I have to report something.

 

@ Robbyn,

 

Also thank you !

It goes easy and good.

And then you can make some progress.

And don't forget that I have a great teacher !

A guy from England     

 

@ Mark,

 

Mobbsie want to keeps his elves  for his own 

I have to do it all by myself.

The progress is now going slow because of work......

I'll catching up with him ?

Then I have to build 24 hours each day........

 

@ Ben,

 

Also thank you !

The big planking starts soon.....

I think that takes a year before I finished the hull.

There are going a lot of planks on it !

 

[TheDutchShipBuilder]

Nice work Sjors!!

[jastrząb]

What's the diameter of your  treenails? The deck looks good.

[Sjors]

Thanks Nick !

 

@ Pawel,

 

The diameter is 1.2 mm 

And thanks

Sjors,

Deck and planking look great! 

I think your playing games with us; the clock in one picture says its 2008! Or has Anja not showed you how to program your clock radio??   

Sam

[popeye the sailor]

nice job on the inner bulwarks Sjors........love the deck,  looks very rustic

[Sjors]

Thanks Sam and Popeye,

 

@ sam,

 

You are looking at the radio time.......

Not the alarm clock !!! ( you believe me ? )

 

@ Thanks Popeye,

 

At the upper deck I want to get all the treenails straight......

 

[Sjors]

What have I done today.....

 

I start planking the hull.

On both sides there are now 4 planks on it.

This cost me a fortune on the glue.

These planks are long !

Of course they need sanding but that's for later.

I have removed the upper gunport sheet otherwise it's in the way.

Also removed the upper gun deck again.

Same story.

 

[popeye the sailor]

WHOA>>>>baby!!   looking good there Sjors!   your off and running!

[riverboat]

Look'n real good Sjors....... next time you buy glue, buy  a gallon (3.79 liters) you are going to need it !!

[augie]

You're really flying right along.  Must be Mobbsie's influence!
