Hellooo... I can hear you guys talking!
I probably wouldn't like your $20 wine anyway...

Ouch.

Probably comes in a box anyway.

Here we like more the stuff that comes out of a fust

Skål!

Oops - my bad!

Proost!

Proost!

I think you meant to say "Prost" (German). *Proost* is the sound you make when you fart... unless you are Dutch.

Are you saying that perhaps because of the way it is pronounced? Besides, Isn't Stephan Dutch? His flag is from The Netherlands. Search "Dutch drinking toasts" and you find many, many things similar to this:

The most common Dutch drinking toast is "Proost!" (pronounced "prohst"), which you say while clinking glasses and making eye contact. Another option, particularly for wine, is the French-derived "Santé!". A more formal Dutch phrase, "Op je gezondheid!" (to your health!), can also be used.

Google is your friend ... sometimes.

Regardless - Cheers!

Obviously....
My humor is just too simple sometimes.

And here I thought you were actually trying to correct me. I get it now. Touché! (That's French, BTW)

Hey guys, are we done hijacking this thread with senseless banter yet?

Thanks for the likes and copliments again. This update took me a few days to make. Especially the reef tackle took some time to make. The Mizzen topsail halyard I made today. The violinblock is handmade on the same way I make ornaments.

The reeftackle 2x:



When you zoom in you see the glue. The rope is 0,2 mm. With bare eyes not visible, but I have to experiment with other glue that don't have this effect on small parts. On bigger rope I can hide this.

The Halyard of the mizzen topsail:



The rope is 0,61 mm. It should be 0,53 mm. I can live with that.

Thanks for the visit.

This looks great, Stephan. Small details take a lot of time but add so much!

Looking great. Really nice work on the violin blocks, Steef66!

 

[Maarten]

Looks great on the model Stephan. Luckily saw them life last Friday. The paper sail looks also very convincing. Looking forward to the final results when shaped.

Thanks guys, nice words to hear. Maybe I start over the reeftackles, I don't like the blocks I used. A redo is coming up.

Thanks Maarten, it was a great day, the details on your ship are great. The dovetail joints of the deck beams look really good.
