Thanks Mike for pulling up my build from the MSW archives, you must have digged very deep .. 

 

Hej Guys, 

I know it has been a long time without any updates

 

the main reason is space.., i had to pack most of the stuff away as the shipyard had to be cleared when i (after a dramatic change in my employment) started my own business.

The shipyard now looks more like a stockroom and is completely filled up with boxes and equipment.

 

I hope to be able to clear a corner soon, so i can start working on her again

So don't be surprised to see some "real" updates of the ST soon

I happened to be looking for build logs on the Trinnie and came across yours. She is gorgeous so far.

Thank you for what you have posted so far;  as someone who is coming back to modelling after a long layoff, I find your build log to be most helpful - indeed, inspirational.  I look forward to any 'updates' you can manage in due course.

Theo,

 

GOOD luck with your new business !!, your amazing ST will wait for you, but we will all miss her updates for a while.

 

Cheers,

Thank you all, for the motivating responses ..

And guess what ! (almost after a year), an real update !!

I have cleared an corner in the basement and started concentrating on the tops of the ST.

 

Again the kit version of the tops are made of plywood and are pretty basic, so naturally I will build them from scratch.

So I started with preparing the planks for the platform itself.

 

 

And to glue/shape the platform.

 

 

The kits version doesn’t have a “ring” around it, so I decided to add one.

For this I used the “size modified” plywood version as a template, and glued 4 pcs. Of 0.6mm oak strips together.

 

 

Positioned the ribs..   

 

 

.. and after some rough shaping,

 

 

I started to shape all the ribs with a scalpel blade

 

 

I can see now on the pictures that 'm still a bit rusty, so a few "minor" details/adjustments are needed..

Hej sjors,

 

Please don’t worry, I’m still alive and kicking 

Overwhelming activity in my Business/work is preventing me mainly to come with frequent new updates ..

Nevertheless I’m still working (every now and then) on the ST and hopefully will be able to post an update soon.

 

be alert...

[Sjors]

Thanks for the sign of life Theo !

I know that sometimes other things can consume your time but say HI now and then   

I will have a close look when you have a update !
