Tyrnac Posted March 20, 2014 Share #301 Posted March 20, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share #302 Posted March 20, 2014 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.

Murphys77 Posted March 22, 2014 Share #305 Posted March 22, 2014 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. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share #306 Posted March 22, 2014 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 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share #307 Posted March 25, 2014 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.

Sjors Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share #309 Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks Adriaan, Yes, soon it is filling and sanding. But first I have to close the hull.......
