Magnificent job, Sjors. Looks so very nice. I'll try to copy your cannon rigging in due time. :)

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

 

Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina.

Last finished projectsRoyal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons

 

Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90;

Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models.

 

So much to build, so little time!

Nice work Sjors..... You mentioned that you still have to plank the upper gun deck, and add more fire power . You might find it a whole lot easier rigging the remaining guns off the model., if that's what you plan on doing.Those 2mm blocks are a bear to rig, but you should be able to use the .025 thread , I used them on the Supply. I just used ca. on the end of the thread to stiffen it up enough to get it thru the block. Any how I'm sure you'll do whats best for you. Your build is looking great!!

Thank you all for the comment and who hit the like button  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Patrick,

 

She has to go to the dentist.

She needs a little bit more teeth :D  :D

Now she looks like a teeth less mummy :(  :(  

 

@ Piet,

 

Thank you !

Are you building something or are you retired ?????????

Don't see your name anymore.....

 

@ Sam,

 

I know you are somewhere on MSW so no problem when you are in the silence mode  ;)

Thanks  :D  :D

 

@ Popeye,

 

You can give me any name that you want  :D  :D

Thanks also.

 

@ Ulises,

 

Thank you !!!!

For the guns on the upper deck I will try ( again ) fully rigged.

Cross your fingers for me !!!!!!!

 

@ Frank,

 

Thanks you !

 

I have received some rope from GTM ( Theo ) that is 0.25 mm, so I will give it a next try at the upper gun deck !

 

@ Mobbsie,

 

Thanks for not giving me up........

As I tell some others, I will try again at the other cannons......

And thanks for the offer but I want to do it myself.

When she is finished I want to tell the world ( MSW and co-workers ) That I have done it alone.......

 

And now it is time for me to go at work again so I'll be talking to you later

Hoi Sjors,

 

@ Piet,

 

Thank you !

Are you building something or are you retired ?????????

Don't see your name anymore.....

 

Yes, I am retarded - uhm - - retired but not from ship building!  Right now I am building a model of a New England lobster smack from the 1850's.  This model will go for auction next April to generate money for a very worthy cause here, the Wounded Warrior fund.

 

That log is right here in the kit build section.

 

The O19 must take a backseat eight now till this little model is finished, then I can complete the O19 with a few more details and the display board and case.  After that I'll get back to the VOC ship model and perhaps a botter or kotter or a VOC Jacht in a lamp.

 

Cheers,

Very nice, Sjors.  I think the glass in the third window from the right is smudged - you may need to clean that one.

 

That bulkhead looks very nice - almost seems a crime somehow to hide those cannon below another deck!

The bulkhead looks amazing Sjors! Great progress and I can't wait to see the deck planking for the level you just added. Wow!

Thanks,

A beautifully done bulkhead, Sjors.   I see lots of progress there on the deck and beams... looks great.

Very nicely done on that bulkhead Sjors.  It even had door handles on the doors!  Are they hinged and work too???

Hi Mate,

 

NICE, bulkhead looks good mate.

 

Have you tested the Main Mast in it's housing, if not it may be a good idea to do it before planking.

 

Looking forward to further updates.

 

Speak soon.

Sorry to say, but you have to wait a little longer for the deck planking.

Work consumed almost all of my time.
