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

[Tyrnac]

I'm getting on board late, on page 21 it seems.  All the seats were full, so I pulled up my cooler full of beer and sat on that! I love the Agamemnon and am working up to it (bomb ketch now, maybe a brig next, then old Eggs n Ham) so I'm reading with great interest. There's some really fine craftsmanship going on here

[Sjors]

Hi Tyrnac,

 

Welcome on board !

There are still seats available so you don't have to sit on a cooler.

But keep it close to you.

Some like beer very much !!!!!!!

There are a few more Eggs n Ham around here.

When you get started ,you have a lot of examples.

Hi Sjors,

 

The guests have all departed so now I can start catching up on yours and others fine builds.  Looks a bit crowded here so I'll just stand in the back......

Cheers,

Hi Lawrence and Jim,

 

@ Lawrence,

 

It looks easy but it is not !

Filler is still my best friend !

We shall see when the hull is closed.

 

@ Jim,

 

You have your house for your self again ?

And now you can go back to the build and Skype ?

Hi Sjors, your Agamemnon is coming along nicely, congratulations!

I have seen the prototype of this model, its a fantastic model and its huge.

The pictures in all the Agamemnon build logs don't really show the true size of this model.

It must be a real challenge, one I certainly would love to try.

Good luck for the rest of your build.

Hi Murphy,

 

Thanks   

 

It's a real challenge and I just love it !

When the hull is closed, I shall make a picture with the Corsair in front.

Then you can see the sizes of this beast.

When I take a look at your Mordaunt, I know that it is something for you that you love to build.

So please, make me happy and build her !

You won't regret it !!!!!!

 

[Sjors]

3/4 of the planking is done.

On the port side I have used some filler to see how it's gonna be.

And it is smooth !

Nice layer for the next planking.

Now I can close her and then it is totally filling and sanding.

A few pictures to show you.

 

 

 

[Adrieke]

pfffffffffff

 

well I caught up with your build log now and you seem to be going great (as I knew it would)

 

soon you l be on the sanding and filling stage like me , lots of joy (but I am needing a shoulder replacement ) 

[Sjors]

Thanks Adriaan,

 

Yes, soon it is filling and sanding.

But first I have to close the hull.......

For the big parts I use a electrical sanding machine called a mouse.

A little handy tool.

No pain in de shoulders for me !

The planking looks terrific Sjors. I hope you have enough room for this beast once she's completed. She's very large!

[gjdale]

Getting real close to a close on the hull there Sjors. Go easy on the mouse - you might need him for the ratlines!

[Kevin]

lovely work my freind

[Sjors]

Thanks Patrick, Grant and Kevin,

 

@ Patrick,

 

No worries.

I have upstairs a long corridor what is high.

So I make a shelf where she is gonna be standing with the San Ildefonso.

 

@ Grant,

 

I can not use the mouse for the ratlines   

I have Gnomes for that !

 

[augie]

She's looking really first rate.  Now get that last portion done ...... that's the fun part   .  And since my Confed isn't rigged, I'll lend you my rigging spiders.  You shouldn't need them for at least a year.

[popeye the sailor]

my word Sjors.......your moving right along!  nice job! 

[src]

Sjors, that looks so clean, soon you wont be needing a second layer of planking on your builds. 

I like how you are using the stem to hold your I-Pod in that first picture, very creative, did the gnomes do that for you?

Nice work Sjors!!

[Klaas]

Very nice Sjors, you are ahead of now

[riverboat]

Nice work Sjors....... I'd sure like to meet your "mouse sander".... He or She does excellent work, I might want to hire him or her for my next en devour

Frank

Very nice first planking, Sjors.

Still a little effort and it's done!

Pierre

[rafine]

Very nicely done Sjors. With that nice smooth surface, the second planking should be easy.

 

Bob

[HIPEXEC]

Nice planking!!!

[newbuilder101]

Great job on the planking! How many trees have you used so far? 

[Sjors]

Thank you all !!!!

 

@ Augie,

 

Can you keep your spiders for a while and don't send them yet to me....

Now you can feed them   

When the time is there, I will ask for them !

 

@ Sam,

 

I was looking what you are talking about.....

I know that we are different in Holland but we DON'T use a socket as an I-pod ! 

 

@ Klaas,

 

In no time you will be further then me.

When the hull is closed and sanded, I go back to the Fonz.

 

@ Frank,

 

You can have the mouse any time that you want !

And I don't know what it is...she or he....maybe a it ?????

 

@ Sherry,

 

So far two trees and still have 5 left.....  

 

[Ferit]

The work of your period of mastery keeps on taking shape...

[Bindy]

What beautiful planking!  You sure demonstrate just how it should be done properly!

[Sjors]

thanks Ferit and Bindy,

 

@ ferit,

 

How are you doing ?

 

@ Bindy,

 

I'm demonstrating ????

Maybe how should not to do it....  

I'm lucky that it is the first layer so i can do what i want with the planks.

You don't see it anymore 

But I'm pleased how it turns out.

 

[Ferit]

I am fine

Demonstrating = showing, teaching

 

Sorry for my big English words, everyone here writes in English so very well that I forget it is not some people's first language

 

Hahaha I will be happy when I learn so much that my second plank is as good as your first plank!

[Sjors]

Thanks for the explanation Bindy,

 

I know what you mean.

When I take a look at your build, you will do a better job with the planking then I do.

It's a matter of sanding and filling !

Then even the worst planking looks amazing !

Even all the members on this forum are writing English, I will teach you one word of Dutch.

A lot of members are knowing that all ready.......

Pfffffffffffffff

Now you know one Dutch word !!!!!!
