Hello Uwe. I will do a full review on the book after the weekend - I actually have a professional review available on the book. However, from just glancing quickly through it, it is abundantly clear that it will be an invaluable resource to 16th century shipbuilding!
Indeed my friend! You are right about the extra instalment - it may not only add an extra instalment, it may even add a second build!That is one beautifull present from Ron my friend, congratulations with that, i guess that this wil give an extra instalment of the Willem Barentsz
Ron, my friend, to me this is an amazing gift. The Chinese delivery system is extremely jacked-up, but language remains a barrier and I am always relieved when I receive my parcels. In this instance though, all is good and the book arrived in very good order! I cannot wait to finish my move over the weekend, settle down and start to work through it properly.
I echo that Paul!
Enjoy, cherish, study, and refer to as an additional build guide - it will fulfil many roles!
It will be a wonderful resource Richie. Without giving too much away at this stage, it highlights the differences and similarities between Gerald de Weerdt and Ab Hoving's interpretations. That is why I say, it might just spur on another build!
I‘m delighted to see that you have set priorities in unpacking.
My friend yes - compared to my old apartment, this is a big improvement!
Thank you Peter. I am just glad that the move is now behind me.
Thank you Paul. We will just have to make the best of the situation - at least I am settled now. I am just so chuffed to have read your posting about Damian. That made my day!
Oh yes Jan! The Willem Barentsz traveled on my lap and was the first to be set down in a safe place! Only then followed the laptops, the food and the other paraphernalia.
Looking good! Now, the work begins....getting settled and situated. Hope you can find the time to continue your build - a great way to relax!
I don't know, but to me she looks a bit neglected and eager to be complemented by some masts and yards and rigging...
Thank you Phil. I would love to knuckle down and start building, but unfortunately there are other priorities that simply needs to take precedence for a few days. I have to keep reminding myself that I started the build only three months ago of which two allowed me uninterrupted building time - so I shouldn't complain.
If this is "neglect" then I don't want to see what pampering looks likeI don't know, but to me she looks a bit neglected and eager to be complemented by some masts and yards and rigging...
. Before masts, yards and rigging in general, there are still a host of things that need to be completed first. I have just highlighted two of the more prominent ones.
