george Posted January 2, 2014 #62 Posted January 2, 2014 Great to see you have started your Agamemnon. Will be following every step of the way, can't tell you how much I've enjoyed building mine. Reached a milestone today and finished the Hull. Enjoy your build my friend, I'm sure you will. George Sjors 1 Quote
Sjors Posted January 2, 2014 Author #63 Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Bob, Ben and George, For you also the best wishes for 2014 @ Bob, That's the reason that I wanted to start in a new year.... So far, so good @ Ben, It's gonna take a while and that's not bad. I have a few great examples of builders who also building the Aggy and I want to improve myself.... Do a little bit more then other builds of mine. Rigging the cannons, treenailing on the deck etc. @ George, Congrats on finishing the hull ! Pictures please !!!!! I already enjoy the building. The first 7 bulkheads are in it.... Lot of sanding the slots a little wider. But it is great material to work with ! Drawings are clear and easy to follow. And of course I take a look at the other Aggy's......

Sjors Posted January 3, 2014 Author #65 Posted January 3, 2014 The bulkheads are in place ( dry fit ) They tell me to push the lower gun deck with a little force in place. I'm afraid that I broke something when I do that, so a little bit more playing with the file.

Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Sjors Posted January 3, 2014 Author #73 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks Marc ,Bug, Robert and Mobbsie, @ Marc, It is a big one. I'm happy that I have the space for it to build it. @ Bug, You really should do it ! It's fun and a lot of building hours ! @ Robert, Glad to see you And thanks !! @ Mobbsie, I can not build with the speed you are doing But I'll do my best. The building guide is saying that I have to place the lower gun deck with gentle pressure ..... I don't know what they mean by gentle but I need a sledgehammer !!!!! So the whole day I'm playing with a small file and still......it goes down to the half..... Now I find out that the end of the slots are to short ! So again playing with the file....... But not today anymore. Tomorrow an other change ! Well, I guess that this is building ?

popeye the sailor Posted January 3, 2014 #75 Posted January 3, 2014 sometimes filing the slots larger might not be the best way to go. since you intend to plank the platform anyway, perhaps simply cutting it in halves might be better.

TheDutchShipBuilder Posted January 3, 2014 #76 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Hi Sjors I was waiting for you to begin with this built. Unfortunatly I was busy with some homework and other things so I hadn't had the time to check it out. Now I have, and I think you made a great start. I have a small question for you (wich others might also answer). You put on the false keel the real keel before placing the bulkheads. Is this usual to do (I did this to), because in the instructions they do it later on (yes I know, the instructions are not always good), or can it also be done later? Cheers Nick By the way, Happy New Year to you and Anja (and everyone else ofcource).

Sjors Posted January 4, 2014 Author #80 Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks everyone, @ Popeye, The lower gun deck is 5 mm thick.... And it's no use when I cut that in half. The slots are to narrow, so I have to make them wider. Some of them about 2 mm..... But I have done it and now it goes with a little pressure in his place. @ Nick, You don't missed a thing yet. I'm just get started. We are happy that the calendar has a nice place....enjoy it ! And what about the keel....I think that you have to do what works for you. At my manual it was the first thing that I have to do, so I did that. But my hull has to be coppered....maybe that's the reason? @ Patrick, Welcome to the world of Aggy @ Mike, Welcome for you to ! @ Bug, The only thing that I can say is....make space and do a build at this size. mtaylor, TheDutchShipBuilder and augie 3 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 January 5, 2014 Author #81 Posted January 5, 2014 Little update. The bulkheads are in place and glued. The lower gun deck is also in place. Glued the bow cheeks and the support at the stern Next thing to do are the support for the false canons and painting...... A part of the lower gun deck will be planked . Only what you can see from the upper deck, the rest will be painted black. And of course ,what is a build with our breaking something...... I have break two tops of two frames Glued them again and I have to see how i can place a support on it. mort stoll, DORIS, texxn5 and 15 others 18 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.

TheDutchShipBuilder Posted January 5, 2014 #83 Posted January 5, 2014 Hi Sjors Looks good. I'm interested in wich way you get the bulkheads in place, so they are perpendicular (loodrecht in dutch , don't know if this is the right word in englisch) I'm following your built closely!

Sjors Posted January 5, 2014 Author #85 Posted January 5, 2014 Nick, There are slots in the false keel and in the bulkheads. You have to see them as swallow tails. The slots are to narrow so I have made them wider till they go easy in to each other. And to get them straight I use angle irons. Some builders are using lego. You can check it after that with a square or with a level. Hope this helps Nick.
