Thank you Daniel. I am having a good time making these cannon and pumps.
Good afternoon Peter. Cannon rigging…..getting depressed just thinking about itA nice nailing pattern on the pump, Grant.
And some nice ‘almost finished’ guns …… waiting for the rigging.
Regards, Peter
….and I need two of you reminding me…This is just what I was thinking, Grant. Rigging guns
Cheers Grant
By my count you will be reminded eight more times. Each one a misery….and I need two of you reminding me…

Man, you guys never learn. After 3 cannons on each side (one as a starter, the second as refinement and the third as the final product), you have proven that you can build and rig a cannon. No need to repeat the exercise 30 times more - we believe you!
And to rub it in. Guess how many cannons De Zwane will have ... yep ... six!

Hi Grant
It looks like the dog loves his grand pa
Good morning Stephan. It is an English ship after all……About the nailing patern...... did Paul like them? They look like the teeth of an Englishman.All present but not in line and distance.
Yea he does Gilbert- totally spoiled when he come to Melkbosstrand

Hi Grant, I have an appropriate meme that will go in my next post!True story….and I have 36 to do…..better ask my Doc for some anti depressants
Good morning Gentlemen. Once again I don’t have anything to really show and Ricochet rabbit is still jumping around with extra charged Duracell batteries .
Some more ugly for you guys - hopefully it will all come together at some point.
I did my fake waterway and spriketling plank on the SB side and more treenails:
I am testing staining a darker cherry on the bulkwalks and cannon ports to give a more British “frigate “ look.
Progress on 4 more cannon:
And started the PS quarter cabin structure. I had the same issues as with my SB side with plenty adjustments so the great cover up later will be in scale and look good
The main reason for not finishing as I go besides that little devil, Ricochet, is I will using an oil finish and most parts need to glue first. Slowly slowly I hope to catch this monkey.
Cheers Grant

That’s the advantage of working on several parts and stages, Grant. There is a moment that everything comes to an end and you can show us a lot of finished work.Good morning Gentlemen.

Nevertheless, what you show us now looks good.Regards, Peter.
Thanks Peter. The most difficult thing is to continuously remind myself - "patience don't rush". I just want something to look goodThat’s the advantage of working on several parts and stages, Grant. There is a moment that everything comes to an end and you can show us a lot of finished work.
