Hi Sjors,

 

How are you and Anja? Your aggy is looking very good  ;)

I haven't been around the forum lately. Just doing some other things. It's great to see it is coming along, not as my ship which I still have to finish planking  :rolleyes:

Hello there......

I'm back  :D  :D  :D

 

After a long period of doing a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with modelbuilding I will try to go further where I left a few moths ago.

Moved to another city but in the same country I have my own workshop again .

I found out one thing......don't move the model !!!!!!!!

I did that and a few repairs where in order.

As you can see I have not done all the repairs on the ropes at the gun port lids.

All the ropes are not straight anymore !

I have to change that.

But I want to show you that I'm still do something.

And I have only done the starboard side, so a small repair ( I hope ).

 

Sjors

Good to hear from you again Sjors.  And better news to hear that you have a space to model in.  Looked pretty cramped in you old dwelling.  Look forward to seeing some new progress.

 

Cheers,

Scott

Thank you for the welcome back  :D  :D

It's good to be back !

 

When I was looking at the pictures again I just feel a lot of shame about the ropes on the lids.

That's not what I want to see.

So I'll take all the rope away from the lids.

And now I have to do it again....

And here comes the first question .....how can I make the ropes a little stiffer ?

I have to fill up the wholes who are there at the moment so .....maybe glue ??????????

If someone knows the answer, please tell me  :)

Hi Sjors,

 

A bit of thinned timber glue makes your ropes stiffer and more easy to handle.

It worked for me.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Wim

Thanks again for the warm welcome from me and Anja......

Anja is not around for a while here, because of other things that keeps her busy .

But she send her regards to all of you !

 

@ Jan,

 

All the finished models are not in this house....

I was afraid for damage when I move them,  so they are at a school close at the old house.

All the young kids can watch it and I'm happy with that solution.

 

@ Wim,

 

Thanks.

I will give that a try !

We are almost back to normal !!!!!!

Work, work and work.....

But we are happy.

And a small update.

The large gunport lids on the starboard and port side are done.

All what is left are 14 small gunport lids ( and of course the rest what I have to do  ;) )

And back to work again !!!!!!

 

 

Sjors
