Sjors,

It's been forever since I looked in on this build. Sorry I've missed so much. The rigging is amazing. Well done my friend.

Nice rope and excellent rigging work Sjors. 

 

Cheers,

[Sjors]

Thanks you all and also for the people who found the like button on the right side of the screen     

 

I'm happy that i see that there are more people happy   

 

@ Kevin,

 

No problem that you missed it what about the serving.

I just love the look of those cables at the moment !

It's a shame to hide that !

 

@ Sam,

 

I have to come to the city of Angels ??????

Am I allowed to come there ?????

Don't forget, I'm still working and have only 3 weeks vacation instead of a whole year !

When we are coming to the USA I have to take a round trip now ...... Pfffffffff

Thanks for the compliment   

 

@ Popeye,

 

Thanks !

You have a nice way to saying it...

It's not frequency but quality   

I like that !

 

@ Hennie,

 

You should be happy with what you are doing with your Aggy !!!!!!!!

 

@ Jan,

 

Are you kidding me ?

Most " exiting"??????

It's fun, that's true.

You see results with every block and rope you attach to the model....

But I understand what you mean   

 

@ Bob,

 

Thanks !!

A step back and 3 steps forward.

That's the true nature of model building !

 

@ Bill,

 

Nice to hear from you again my friend !!!!

Don't stay away so long anymore !!!!

You make us nervous.......

Thanks for the lovely words what you have written by Augie.

And now back to the workbench and make some sawdust.....please ???????

 

@ Piet,

 

Old Vlaardinger     

Thank you !!!!!

The next animals are also back on the ship....  

The crowfeet are done.

Now I have to go to the shrouds and place a few other animals the rat(lines )

Next update can take a while but it will come ( one day )

[donrobinson]

Those overhead shots are incredible, very nice work 

[Beef Wellington]

Love the crowsfeet Sjors.  Doesn't the euphroe also bring put a Dutch girl in amongst the animals?  Believe the English word euphroe originally came from the Dutch/German jonge vrouw/junge Frau.

[rafine]

Very nicely done on the crowfeet Sjors. I've always found them be a nasty job.

 

Bob

[GLakie]

Looking good Sjors! 

[Sjors]

Thanks a lot.

 

@ Don,

 

Thanks !!!!!

 

@ Jason,

 

I don't know what you mean with euphroe.

I never hear from that word.

But maybe the Old Vlaardinger ( Piet ) can help us with that.

 

@ Bob,

 

I onnly has to re-do those feet 3 times.

First time worn parts....

second time rope to short......

3 time....scissors wrong place       

 

And now something else.

 

John ( Neptune ) send me a PM about they stay's......

Why I did them first instead of the shrouds.

Normally I'm not out of words but this time.......

Stupid me !!!!!!!!!!

First the shrouds and then the stay's !!!!!!!!

Beginner !!!!!!!!!!  

I hope I can put the shrouds under the stay's or I have a BIG problem !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

John, thanks you so much that you let me know what I do wrong !!!!!!!!!!!

John,

 

It's easy to lift the stays.

There is a lot of stretch in the rope and I'm not using all of it yet   

Maybe I only has to change the crows feet but I think not.

But again thanks for let me feel like a beginner     

Just kidding !!!

Thank for saving me for a big gaffe

Looks great Sjors and is a great reference point for my build which is still in the first planking stage. Work has a habit of getting in the way along with the new kitchen, making firewood, watching the rugby etc!

[Seventynet]

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful model Sjors. Thanks for sharing.

Best, Ian

[popeye the sailor]

you really moved your keister in turning all that around!    wonderful job    to bad you got one more hurdle to get over though..........piece of cake for you !

[trippwj]

She is a beauty, Sjors.  Your zoo is doing admirable work!

[Burroak]

Sjors your ship is magnificent! WOW

 

Greg H.

[Elijah]

Sorry, I haven't had reliable wifi in these mountains, so it's hard to keep up with your build. She's looking even better from last time! I look forward to seeing her again!

[mtaylor]

Sjors, in spite of the problems, you are becoming a master at rigging.   

[src]

Coming along splendidly Sjors! I see a spot mid-ship where a carriage will fit.....

 

As far as visiting the States, yea, you need more than a couple of weeks. I have lived here 52 years and STILL havent seen it all. There is a reason so many US citizens never get out of their own country.

 

Sam

[Sjors]

Thank you all for the nice and warm words.....

Even that I make a beginners mistake 

 

I'm still trying to put the shrouds UNDER the stays and the fore and mizzen mast are done.

Only the mainmast.......and I think I'm lucky that I can do it without damaging the stays and crowfoots.

Lucky me !!!!!!!!

 

@ ETNZ and Ian,

 

Thanks !!!!!!!!

 

@ Popeye,

 

What a confidence in me   

 

@ Wayne,

 

You know the ZOO Blijdorp in Rotterdam????

They are now asking me if I want to work with them   

 

@ Greg,

 

Wow is the most highest compliment you can give to someone.

So thanks for that !!!!!

 

@ Elijah,

 

Are you living that high on a mountain ??????

I can not imagine how that looks because we don't have any mountain at all in Holland.

Only klompen ( wooden shoes )   

But thank you that you are using the wifi for visiting my build log   

 

@ Mark,

 

Thanks !!!!

You make me 

 

@ Sam,

 

That spot mid-ship is to small for that big stage coach 

I think I need an other life to see the USA.

Mmmmmm not a bad idea.

I can build longer then

Very nice work on the crows feet Sjors or should I say euphroe?  And you are asking an old Vlaardinger to tell you what euphroe means or where it comes from?  Hey I barely passed my Dutch language lessons when in the Dutch school system and failed English, French and German.

However, well like with all foreign words to the English speakers they also messed up with the Middle Dutch word "joncfrouwe," meaning "young female" but can also be a youngish unmarried woman.  Middle Dutch is from the era of the mid to late 18th century to the early to mid 19th century.  English and especially nautical English was a bit different from today's English, as is Dutch.  

Sorry folks but I have been studying Old and Middle Dutch for other reasons and find it all very fascinating.

 

Cheers, Piet the Old Vlaardinger and    

[Hennie]

Your rigging looks beautifull. And you are going very fast again. So you dont have to worry, that I will pass you :D I am now where you were in march 2015   

I will update again this evening.

[Elijah]

Sjors, I was on a long vacation in massanutten Virginia, and the wifi was horrible. I made it through by canoeing and visiting the national museum of American history .

[Sjors]

@ Piet,

 

Thank you for the lesson Old Dutch !

Haringkop     ( this is what we are calling people who lives in Vlaardingen ,Holland )

 

@ Hennie,

 

I have to work and you don't so .........

But thank you  

 

@ Elijah,

 

A long vacation in a place that called massanu something else...........

Never hear of it !

Not so difficult because I never bin in the States !!! ( yet )

 

Shrouds are under the stay's now.

It worked just fine to lift the stay's and put everything under it.

Now I can place the deadeyes and lanyards.....

Lucky me !!!!!

[popeye the sailor]

that's good to hear Sjors.........see,  it was a piece of cake for you  

[Sjors]

Shrouds and lanyards on both side are done.

I only have to tie up the lanyards at the starboard side but the port side is done.

So a few pictures before I go further.

Also one picture of how she looks totally .

Difficult to get that in one shot.

She is BIG !!!!!!!

[GLakie]

Nice job Sjors.  Onward and upward? 

[robert1965]

It looks good Sjors. 

[mtaylor]

I'm loving it, Sjors.  You are obviously taking very good care of the rigging spiders.

[Bill Hime]

So beautiful! Sjors, your making rigging look easy...and we know that it is the exact opposite!

 

 

Bill

[Elijah]

Nice rigging Sjors! She is very big!
