Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, Peter

Regards, Peter
Regards, Peter
Birthday greetings, Peter. I hope you had a great day!
@Heinrich , @Jimsky , @Peter Voogt , Cristian @AnobiumPunctatum , Paul @dockattner , Thank you all for you birthday wishes, my apologies that i did not respond any sooner, but this where a couple of busy days, i was quite busy amongst others with a present wich was bought by my admiraal,and this means i have to learn something new
An Air brush set, air brush isnot completely new to me, i had a Revell beginnerset, with a single action spray gun, and a can of compressed air, but this works completely different.
Now i have to master the dual action guns.

Agree with Heinrich: A great gift from your Admiral, Peter. You are gone love that double action. I have almost the same compressor. Good for a lot of hours!

So do i my friend, and i am verry happy with this gift
You could be quite right Peter i have played with it for a while now and i like it verry much, but there is a bit of a learning curve in this, a single action spray gun works quite different
My friends,
First of all, my apologies for losing the contacts on this forum, but my admiral was on the mend since her hospitalisation, and slowly, she lost her strength, and i got to do more in the house, at first i have been following some of your building logs, but a while ago everything came to an abrupt halt, because i was to busy in the house.
A couple of weeks ago my admiral got hospitalised again, and after some verry critical days in hospital , she is back home, but but here strength has faded away, so all builkding activities are still on halt, and waiting for better days.
I did manage to do something on the cross-section in the last months, and so i can give you a small update.
First of all, i made a pump, to give you an idea about the sizes, i made a picture beside a ruler, from the handle, and the pumphood.
Very tiny, and fragile, i had 3 pumphoods in the kit, and i managed to break them all.
So i had to make one myself from some pearwood, and after mounting the pump together, it loos like this.
After this pump, i made the small knight, this was reasonablesimple, and it looks like this
And after this, the large knight had to be built, here it is.
Dry-fitted on the crossection, it looks quite reasonable to me.
It looks rather dusty, and the eyebolts that you can see, are removed again, no way that i can attach a block for the canons to the eyebolts when they are already on the ship.
Then i went a few steps ahead of the building instructions, because i wanted to make working hinges for the porthatches, and this is what i could produce.
My nails where very out of proportion, so i glued the nails in the hatch, cut them off, and filed them smooth with the hinges.
Partly ready, it came to a sudden and complete stop overhere.
I have no idea when i can place the next update, or when i can follow your logs again, but one day, i will be back.
Greetings,
Peter

Nice to see some progress, Peter. But the main thing is that your Admiral got her strength back and recovered. All my best wishes to her. Regards, Peter
Wishing your Admiral a gentle and speedy recovery — the model will be right where you left it, cheering you on
Hello Peter, best wishes for your wife and her recovery - and for you as you continue to lovingly care for her.
Thank you Peter, for your best wishes, i will pass them trough to my admiral., and i also hope she gets some of her strength back, because at this moment, she is very fragile
Jim, thank you for your wishes, and you are very right about the model, but when there is an hour to spare, i stil love to take it out of dry-dock, but it is pure occasionally at the moment

Thank you Paul, she can use the wishes at this moment very much, and i am doing the best i can to help her with her recovery
Thank you for the compliment, and your wishes Shota much appriciated.
Thank you for your wishes Johan, much appriciated, and yes it is occasional, but there are moments to relax.
Now it is already a lot better as the first two days in hospital, when they said "prepare for the worst " I was that critical this time
