[Kevin]

lovely work - oh and a change of profile picture as well, did you get fed up of the bus

[gjdale]

Ah, so you finally got off the Chatham Dockyard bus Sjors - exactly a year since we took that photo.

[augie]

What happened to the bus?  There's some good looking guy in your avatar now!

[mtaylor]

I had to look twice to make sure I was in the right build log.  No bus.... Hmm...

[Bindy]

Oh wow!

 

You look so different in your new Avatar!  I like it !!   Or is it really a new replacement you have recruited just for your coppering?   Joking !!!

 

Super seriously though your copper work looks just perfect and I don't see how you could possibly do this side any better

Ok....

 

No bus but it is still me !

It's just like clothes......I'm chancing it everyday....

Same with the bus, every day another bus......

Even building....now and then another build.....

Only not Anja...I will keep her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@ Kevin,

 

Sometimes you have to change.

 

@ Grant,

 

Yep, a year ago.

Time flies....when you have fun !

 

@ Augie,

 

The passengers has taken the bus and leaving me behind.......

 

@ Mark,

 

Witch log you are looking at, it's always the right log !

 

@ Bindy,

 

Thanks for the good word about the coppering 

Wait and see when I'm done with the other side........

Maybe later today an update !

 

Sjors

[Sjors]

I promise you an update today and here it come.......

Not the update that you are expecting but it is one !

Caldercraft give me a cradle with nothing..

I know that some is painting them or giving it a layer of stain.

I didn't do that.

Because I love planking, I have planked the whole thing !

When that was done I give it two layers of mat varnish.

I think it looks good.

But, see for your self.

I also place the nameplate that I've got from Mobbsie.

But, I don't want you to think that I'm doing nothing, the last picture is an update from the starboard side.

So you see that I'm still at the copperplates !

I like the cradle Sjors… the planking  on the stand ties it all together but won't outshine the giant ship that it will hold. The plate is a nice final touch.

 

Your coppering is coming along… having never done it myself I can't say too much except it looks like those gaps will be hard to cut perfectly to fit but you'll probably do it with ease eh?

[Sjors]

Thanks Randy,

 

Filling those caps is also for me a difficult thing to do.

I know I spoiled a few before it is correct.

I think I go further with the complete plates and at the end I am gonna start the filling.

[mobbsie]

Hi Sjors,

 

Lovely job on the stand mate finished of beautifully by the name plate, well done.

 

Coppering looks good, don't leave the filling in to long or else your going to get fed up with cutting plates.

 

With regard to your new Avatar, the pictures fine mate, it's just a shame about the face.     :D    

Talk later.

 

Be Good

A wise choice sir.

The stand looks great Sjors, and a nice touch with the name plate. Coppering looks to be coming along nicely too.

[Piet]

Wowsy babe, that's a handsome looking cradle!  I thought you may want to copper plate that one - - - after all, it's below the waterline        Har dehar har harr.  Oooooh, I crack me up   

 

Really nice job Sjors and your coopering, as Nenad would say, looks terif.

 

Cheers,

[SkerryAmp]

That is a great idea with the stand.  I would never have thought about planking the cradle - and it looks great!

 

(I may steal that idea someday )

[augie]

Great idea on the cradle, my friend.  And you didn't need any drop planks or stealers !!!!!

[mtaylor]

Great idea on the cradle, my friend.  And you didn't need any drop planks or stealers !!!!!

 

I agree and nor did you need ratlines!!!!!    :D  

[Sjors]

Thanks all !

I'm also happy with the cradle....

 

@ Adam,

 

You can use it if you want.

Anja should say.....5 Euro         

 

@ Thanks Lawrence.

 

@ Augie,

 

You gonna read this I think 1/2 October 

But I use drop planks and stealers !!!!!

But you don't see them !!!!!!!!

Is that great work or great work ?

 

@ Mark,

 

Ratlines....far away unfortanally......

Maybe I can put some at the Cradle ?????

 

Sjors

Sjors

[Beef Wellington]

Spotted at our local pub/bar, made me think of you...think they bottled this just before you started your coppering

Wow Jason,

 

That is old !!!!!!!

The guy has a distiller in Schiedam from 1889 - 1892 .....

So don't drink that Gin !!!!!!!!

But a great found !!!!!!!

Thanks...

 

Sjors

[Sjors]

Copperplates are done !!!!!

Not at the bottom of the keel because they don't do that at that time.

And when she is standing on the cradle, you don't see it.

For a while she goes on the shelf and I go back to the Fonz.

I hope to see you there also when there is an update to report....
