Hey Vivian,  what about if I send you some right sail cloth and you make one of your nice hot jalapeno dishes in return?

(although sending cloth to Brasil is easy, but sending food to the Netherlands is very difficult).

 

Please post your updates - we're eager to see!

 

 

Hans, that would be great, but I´ve instead got some coming. As for the dishes, think I´ll have to find a way to ship them - or inviting you to dinner in Brazil someday

Going to join the fun if you don't mind.

Be welcome, Steve. The work is a little slow in this one, but I´m trying to speed it up a bit.

Hey Vivian, so good seeing you back here again/still. Can I pull up a stump and help watch your deft fingers building another magnificent ship?

 

Cheers,

Happy to anounce that I'm back to the dockyard and sewing the sails for my chinese junk. Would like to thank the cloth I received, gifted by Dee Dee. 

 

The fabric sent is Far better than the one that came in the kit. I'm late in saying bout the fábrica, as It came last year.

Glad to hear that you are still kicking and things are looking up. That Junk was looking good with your additions and lighting, will be watching you getting her under sail. Welcome back.

Hola Cariña,

It has been too long since you've posted anything and I have missed your passion. I am glad that you are settling down again in order to continue working on your model and hopefully finish her (it seems you are closer to it now). I hope to see more updates and remember to take care of yourself. In the event you want ideas for working with your sails you may want to take a look at these videos for inspiration. Tu amigo, Raymond.

Congratulations and welcome back! Red Dragon is looking very good.

 

When you finish, will you be getting back to the Cocca? It would be nice to see that one finished, too.

Thanks, Louie! I sleep looking to my ships. I'll get back to her as soon as I find the wood l need to close all cabins and such. This modifying thing of mine requires some extra wood 😬

Piet, my many thanks. I'm finally back and savoring this step. Got the last sail now, rigging is on my way. 

[Vivian Galad]

 

 

Well, as people asked, here are some pictures from my marriage. In the first one me and my wife with my dad, and the second one at the celebration: cake time!

 

And some pictures on my progression. I searched for better sail pictures before sewing mine and found the gains on sewing them in stripes weren't that big. Don't know If I could do better, but think they are fine. I have some papers on junk sails rigging and will try to use them when the time comes - hope next weekend.
