HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64

[Kevin]

lovely work my friend, are you going to use the tiles - or copper tape - when the time comes

[TheDutchShipBuilder]

Haven't been on MSW for a while.

Very nice progress Sjors!!

[Sjors]

@ Sam,

 

You are an unbelievable guy you know that ?

At the end of this post you will see two pictures how the workroom looks at the moment !

You are satisfied now ?????   

 

I wanted to start with the next planking in the middle of the hull but I changed my mind.

I'm now have started at the keel and work my way up.

There is a strange bend at the stern and now I can see how it will go.

I can play with the planks.

 

@ John,

 

Thanks !

Planking is just like riding a bicycle....once you know it you will never forget it !

 

@ Kevin,

 

Also thank you !

 

I'm gonna use tiles instead of tape.

That's what they provide in the kit so I'll use them .

 

@ Nick,

 

I know you are busy with school so no excuse please !

Thanks for the good word !

 

@ Sam,

 

Here are the promise pictures !

 

[Patrick Haw]

Hi Sjors.  That work room looks way too neat and organized.  I'd be embarassed to show you the state of mine right now!

@ Nick,

 

I know you are busy with school so no excuse please !

Thanks for the good word !

It was not ment to be a excuse, just to say that I was pleased to see some nice progress

 

By the way, do you also have some nice weather there in Schiedam. Here in Loosdrecht is it almost 20 degrees, and that for March!

[DORIS]

Hello dear Sjors,

The pics are beautiful, you make a very nice job on the model. Thank you for the inspiration, I like your work a lot.
Have a great time and keep up the splendid  work.

Best regards,

Doris

Sjors,

 

Now that's the way a workshop should look... Like it's being used to work on things!!!!     Remember that a clean workshop is a sign that nothing is being done.

[Sjors]

@ Patrick,

 

It's only one table that looks like that.

And because Anja has no time for her build I take her table to       

I only have to make the promise that I clean it when she goes back to the Half Moon !

 

@ Doris,

 

You give me to much credits what about the inspiration.

It's the other way around.

If I'm 50 % from what you have doing I'm the happiest builder in the world 

But thanks for all the likes !

You reach you quote in no time at this speed 

 

@ Mark,

 

At the moment it is used !

But when it is at the end of the month and I go back to the San Ildefonso, I have to clean everything.

Otherwise I mixed things from the two models.......

Then you see parts of the Fonz on the Aggy !

 

[Shazmira]

Ah the joys of planking...the lovely smell of glue and sawdust! You are right Sjors, just like riding a bike, the skill set comes flooding back when you need it. Looking forward to more pics as planking progresses

[src]

Sjors, that work bench look MUCH better!

Mark is right a clean bench is a sign nothing is getting done. My bench is SPOTLESS at the moment. 

I'll just continue to live vicariously through your and other builds.

As always looks great!

Sam

[Sjors]

Hi Robbyn and Sam,

 

The whole house smells at sawdust and glue     

And every where in the house you find pieces of wood.

I'm gonnna use the vacuum cleaner a lot of times !

Planking is still continue, slow but going.......

 

@ Sam,

 

It's about time that you shows us an update ?

It's very quit at your build log........

 

 

[popeye the sailor]

you plank by day and rig by night........your doing some fine work Sjors

[texxn5]

Sjors, my friend, you're workshop could be an advertisement for Proxxon.....they are well represented here...nice work and good to see the shipyard look worked in. I'll be doing the same soon...

[src]

Sjors, yes it is VERY quiet in the SRC Ship yard. Work and other "Life Adventures" are interfering with the important things, like building. Hopefully in the next week or two I can get back on a build schedule. Till then I have to satisfy myself by visiting the other build here; I cant even visit all the build I follow in one sitting, I have to do it in little bits. 

Sam

[Sjors]

@ Popeye,

 

That's a nice thought......planking at day time and rigging by night time.

And witch hours I have to work ?

I wish they have make 48 hours in one day.....  

 

@ John,

 

I just like working with Proxxon !

And when do you going further on the build ?

I want to say a few oh and ah's .......

 

@ Sam,

 

Take your time with it !

Even you can not read everything at once, it will be available on the forum !

The only thing is you have to read a little more.

But then you have more !!!!!!!!!

 

[Sjors]

Planking still keep on going.

I wanted to put a plank on the stern with the strange bend.

That is not working !

As you can see in the picture, the plank was destroyed........

So I have to remove that and try something else.

So I started at the keel and work my way up.

When I'm on that point again I can see what I have to do.

[Sjors]

And when i was looking how the glue dry I have make the gun carriages.

Now I have to drill more then 250 holes for the eyebolts and paint everything......

I'm happy that I have a power drill and not doing it with a hand drill   

On the left side you will see the 18 pounds cannons and on the right side  the 9 pounds cannons .

 

 

[TheDutchShipBuilder]

Very nice progress Sjors!

[Sjors]

Thanks Nick   

 

[Beef Wellington]

You've got a very nice smooth run  for the planking Sjors, looks great.  At the stern I wonder if you think you will use a filler block for the awkward angle?  Hope you have a lot of fun with the cannons, you can put a lot of detail on those.

[Sjors]

Hi Jason,

 

Thanks !

It goes very well with the planking.

It just runs how it should be.....

And you hit the nail on his head.

I have to place some filler blocks at the stern.

Then I hope it will be all right.

It's fun with those cannons.....

I have to make them black and all the eyebolts for the rigging.

They are gonna be fully rigged..... ( o dear, what i'm saying now....)

 

[Tankerman]

Hi Sjors, I have been following your build of this model with interest as I made the same kit some years ago and I am impressed with your work so far.

 

I note that you you are having trouble with the stern so I thought you'd like to see a photo of my attempt at this area, I hope it helps you.

 

Chris 

[augie]

Very nice start on the lower hull planking my friend.  And the canon look terrific.  Sorry about the stern --- hopefully the fillers will help out.

[gjdale]

Nice progress Sjors. Can't wait to see you rig those cannons!

[popeye the sailor]

I'm not that familiar with this type of hull Sjors.......filler blocks would definitely help you out here.  I wonder if it might be a benefit if you continued this planking from the keel up?   I see lots of plank bending in your future.....you'll master it,  I'm sure of that!     the cannons look really good....they're going to be some mean looking 'barkers' when you get them finished. 

[Sjors]

Thanks All !

 

@ Chris,

 

That's a real beauty you have over there !

I can see how the planks go ,so i'll give it a try. Thanks !!!!!!

 

@ Augie,

 

Thanks also 

And you are talking about one canon ????????

I thought there where a few more .....

 

@ Grant,

 

I understand why you want to see the canons rigged......

Then i can use the 2 mm blocks that I got from you   

But that takes a while.

First the stern !

Love those problems....... 

 

@ Popeye,

 

You have a lot of confidence in me.....

I will place filler blocks but also keeping planking from bottom to top.

At the end everything will come together !

 

And also everyone who Likes it, Thank you !!!!!!!

 

[trippwj]

the good news it you saw the issue before you glued it in and moved on!  You can overcome this, I am sure, with patience and some Oude jenever you can conjure up the proper solution!

 

Those cannon are impressive, but that sounds like a lot of rigging work!!!

[riverboat]

Nice planking Sjors, those stern planks look like they all have to sweep upwards . , I'm sure you'll get this to work, as for the cannons, you sure you're not getting ready for battle??

Frank

[Sjors]

@ Wayne,

 

I think you have take a look at the shop for that Jonge Jenever !

Strange to see and reading it here       

Thanks for the confidence......

I'll still doing my best !

 

@ Frank,

 

Thank you.

 

And yes, those planks takes a strange curve upwards.

This time I'm not going at battle.....ok, a little maybe   

 

[newbuilder101]

The planking is great Sjors! I'm sure you'll figure the rest out quite well!
