HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64

[Sjors]

Thanks again...  

 

@ Bug,

 

Work is not that bad ....it cost only a lot of hobby time .....

 

@ Wayne,

 

The Gnomes want to have a zoo now 

 

@ Piet,

 

Why not crow-feet on the Surabaya ?????

You can do it !!!!!!!!

 

@ Mark,

 

Thanks !!

 

@ Greg,

 

Also thanks and I shall try to answer your question.

 

When I make the lanyards ( the ropes between the deadeyes ) i tie them down with a single knot.

When all the lanyards are on i just let it go that way for say a day.

Then I un-knot ( right word ?) the knot and put a little tension to each shroud.

When all of them are done I let is go for another day and then I repeat myself.

After 3 or 4 days there is no stretch anymore in the rope and it stays like that.

I finish the lanyard to the shroud and keep them the same hight.

Is this answering your question?

 

If some else has a better explanation ,please be my guest !!!!!!!!

 

@ Hennie,

 

I think that I am in the shadow of your Aggy !!!!!!

The only thing that I can do is my best.

And I know that there are builders who wants it to be "historical " right.

But that's not for me.

I enjoy it and that's for me what counts.

Sjors thank you for answering my question. You answered it perfectly.

 

Greg H.

[Sjors]

You're welcome Greg,

 

It's always difficult to explain something in a different langue.

I was repeating myself what I should write down when I was driving the bus in Rotterdam Centre

[Piet]

I have to correct myself Sjors, before Jan does .  Yes my VOC model  does have crowfeet on all masts.  I just looked at the Batavia replica so my model must have them also.

It makes sense though.  So, it looks like I'll have zoo as well

 

Cheers,

[popeye the sailor]

nice progress Sjors.........love the  'animal house'  you've created      it all looks great though.....and the more you add will make it all come together.

 

keep spinn'in the web!   {oh......and bug farm too    }

[riverboat]

 Nice!! work on those crowfeet Sjors......

An update who is not a update.......

 

I have to take all the shrouds down and make them again....

Why ?

Because there are to many mistakes on them.

I served the wrong one ( only one I have served because my rope server is broken )

That's why I also not served the stay's.....

The snake is not what I want....it looks clumsy.

The rope that I used for the shrouds  get there are snap strands ( I use google translation for that snap strands....I hope it is correct )

So I removed all of it and will do it again.

Ordered rope at Morope and ordered a new rope server by the Syren company.....

When there is an update again I will show you .

For now....have a nice day and I will be working again !

Bummer, dude - but if you aren't satisfied, then a re-do is the way to go!  I thought things were already looking good, so can only imagine the next result!

[Ulises Victoria]

Sjors... that requires courage, my friend. But believe me... the sense of satisfaction you will get will be enormous!!! 

Been there, done that. 

[Beef Wellington]

Good for you Sjors, sure you will be happier in the long run, at least you are not redoing the ratlines...

[GLakie]

I thought they looked good myself Sjors, but like the others have said, if you're not happy, it's best to re-do. 

[Barbossa]

A bold decision but a wise decision. If something bothers you, you'll keep on focusing on it and you'll get more frustrated.

The best of luck. Keep on the good work !

 

[Sjors]

Thank you for the support !!!!

 

I just received an E-mail that my rope server is on the way to this little country.

Quick service !!!!!

So thanks for that !!!!!!

When I also have my rope I can go further on the journey   

 

@ Wayne,

 

Between looking at a picture and seeing it in real time is a big difference !!!

But as everyone is saying.....when it is giving you bad feelings with what you have done....re-do it !!!!!!

And with this one I'll be re-doing things all the time 

 

@ Ulises,

 

I don't know if it is courage or stupidity   

(the sense of satisfaction you will get will be enormous!!!   )

I love this line !!!!!!!!!!      

 

@ Jason,

 

The mizzen mast and a part of the main mast have there ratlines.......

But not at my usual standard so now I get another change........

 

@ George,

 

Just what I was saying to Wayne.....there is a difference.

Also when I make a picture., I can play with it.

It can be looking better then how it really is......

 

 

@ Christian,

 

Thanks !!!!!!!!

Hi Sjors,

 

Tough decision, but I agree with the other plp. When you are not happy with it, do it again. I do the same. Otherwise..... the longer I look at it, I feel more unhappy.

[JanV]

Sorry to hear Sjors, but a good decision. You as builder will always see such errors, but lucky you noticed this now and not in a later stage.

[Sjors]

Thanks Hennie and Jan.

 

I'm happy that I have no time to build only time for work  .

When I have everything , I will continue.......

 

Sjors

[Kevin]

good evening Sjors sorry about the setback, - other than that she is looking mighty fine, will be interested to see what the rope is like when you get it

[Sjors]

Thanks Kevin,

 

I will make a picture when it is arrived.....

 

Sjors

[mtaylor]

Good on you, Sjors.  I quite agree with the others, if you're not happy with something, do it again.   

[src]

Sorry to hear about the setbacks Sjors.

On a happy note, your serving machine showed up on my door step the other day. THANKS!!! Mighty kind of you sir. :D

Chucks service is really great isnt it? I have ordered things on a Sunday and had them in hand on Tuesday and we are on opposite sides of the country.  How long is your new toy taking to your world?

Sam

[Sjors]

I don't know Sam,

 

But you are meaning with my world the world of klompen and molens ?????????

How long was it before I received my 3D horses from you ?

 

Thank all for the support on the re-do thing.

Warning for all who wants to build the Agamemnon.....it is a RE-DO build all the time !!!!!!!!!

 

Sjors

[popeye the sailor]

you'll get there Sjors..........be happy with your build  

[Piet]

Very bold move Sjors.  But like everybody has already said, you are the one who has to be happy with your build. 

 

Cheers,

[src]

Sjors, I dont recall how long that took, a week maybe? Not long considering customs.

I think print time was longer than post time.

Thanks Sam.

 

I'm still waiting !!!!!

 

Sjors

[Sjors]

I'm not waiting anymore !!!!!

 

Today everything was delivered at our home       

The rope server and the rope.....

At the end of this post you will see pictures of it.

So delivery from Germany is just as long as a delivery from the USA....6 days !

Long live all the postman's around this globe         

 

And now you can yel, common start making those stay's.....no excuses anymore but to bad for you, I have one excuse.....

I ordered the wrong color for the stay's !

They should be black and ( my mistake ) I ordered beige   

So I ordered new one and will wait for that.

In the mean while I'm gonna sit just relaxed and will staring at the rope server       

And think what fun I'm gonna have with it when I can use it sometimes this year

"Ordered the wrong rope" sounds like an excuse to do some Klompen instead of some Buildin'

 

Sam

[Sjors]

Sam,

 

You make me laugh !!!!!!!!!!

I will try to serve some klompen       

 

Sjors

[Sjors]
