Sjors Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share #376 Posted April 4, 2014 Again thank you all ! Always nice to read those comments @ Piet, The Fonz is a little bit shorter then the Aggy....about 3 cm. So i have two of those biggies ! Water ? no, we don't have water at all ! @ CapnHarv, She is just the right size to be a ships boat @ Bob, I know what you mean but when I let the Fonz on the shelf, she will never be finished. And it is a pleasure to do something else then planking But I'm happy that you like it. And what is one month ?????? ( or sooner ) @ Nick, Als thanks ! No, I don't use sawdust 9 Even I have a lot of it ) I only use Balsa filler and that works perfect ! @ Robbyn, Also thanks ! And that's why I put the Half Moon in front and on the Aggy to give you an idea how big she is ! And the coppering is for me also the first time that I'll be doing that. But I have a great teacher who helped me if necessary @ Sam , Mark and Grant. Thanks for all what you are saying and doing ! Sam is carried a chair ,Mark is looking for 2 chairs and Grant ? I don't know what he is doing He is running between two places ? @ Matt, Thank you very much Those tools are just great. I can not imagine that I have worked without them ! @ Bindy, Thank you very much ! And may i ask what lesson ????? And yes, it's a lot of ship I'm glad that I have the space to build it !!!! When i have to do this in the living room, there is no space left to sit anywhere ! @ patrick, Als thanks ! The planking cost me about 5 weeks. And that not every day ! But I'm happy that she is closed now. Next job to do is drilling holes for the gun ports...... But that's for next month. mtaylor 1 Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

Patrick Haw Posted April 4, 2014 Share #377 Posted April 4, 2014 Hi Sjors, Really beautiful work on your first planking. You've got a very smooth surface for the second planking and it should go on very easily. I get the feeling this is going to be a special build. Keep up the great work.

Sjors Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share #380 Posted April 5, 2014 Thank Patrick, Augie and Jim, @ Patrick, I just love building this ship. I think that it has to do it with the excellent drawing and wood. It's a pleasure to work with it ! @ Augie, I think it is very difficult to place the Fonz at the deck of the Aggy But I shall make a picture of the Fonz in the back and the Aggy in the front.( If I can found the space ) And thanks for the good word.... @ Jim, Didn,t you know that NASA is following my idea to put one on the other ?????? rayhooper, Script, TheDutchShipBuilder and 1 other 4 Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

Sjors Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share #383 Posted May 1, 2014 It was a long search but I find my Aggy log again ! Because it's May I will spend some time at her. The Fonz is at the shelf for a while...... What have I done... Make the focs'l ( if I wright that right ) Make the roundhouses with the hinges and painted. Then i have make 3 gun ports with the frames in it. Maybe it looks not perfect but I have still to paint them and then of course another planking.

Sjors Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share #389 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks again Guy's !!!! @ Jason, I have a template for that. Tomorrow I shall make a picture of it when it is attach to the hull. Then you can see it. @ Sam, A month ? I think 2 months...... I have to work in the mean time.... @ Augie, Yes, it is a 64. So a few more to do ! And the blue on the roundhouses are lighter then they showing on the picture. Now it looks black but it is really blue..... Maybe when the sun is shining, I can make a better picture of that. @ Popeye, I know what you mean. When you are looking to the rail between the two roundhouses Caldercraft want me to use brass stripes. I don't like that so a piece of wood is better. maybe I change some more on her but that will learn the future...... @ Mobbsie, Thanks my friend , I hope I 'm not nuts at the end of all the gun ports....
