KOLDERSTOK BATAVIA / HAARLEM

Netjes hoor Heinrich, complimenten

 

Bijzonder mooi Heinrich, ga zo door

 

Prachtig gezicht zo.

 

@amazone Thank you Dirk. Everything you say is correct. The kuil is the right place and the place that will give me the most work! The bakdek would have been much easier ... but alas ...

Bedankt mannen. Your kind words are much appreciated.

 

Good "evening" everyone. I first want to apologise for my long absence (I had to fetch this bouwverslag from pagina 3!) and only sporadic appearances. Because I work and earn my living in China I do feel obliged (for a 54-year old white South African to find a teaching job almost anywhere is almost impossible) to help whoever I can get when I get asked for help. Slightly more than a month ago a Chinese Model Ship Company, approached me to help market their Plank-on-Frame Bluenose kit in the West. Since this is the only POF Bluenose kit in the world I couldn't very well refuse. So this has taken up all of my time during the last month. I am happy to say that the kit has been very successfully launched and I already have more than 20 orders. I would like to show you what the kit looks like, but I am not sure where to post it since it is not strictly a bouwverslag (not yet in any case). However, with this out of the way let's get back to the Haarlem.



This is just a geheel plaatje to show where we were and now you alkso get to see what I look like!

So in my last post I mentioned that I finished the verschansing on the starboard side. Before I went any further with anything else, I also decided to put up the railings on that side as you can see in the picture above.





Geheelplaatje. Die geel verf moet nog netjies ingesny word.

With the railings up, it was time to tackle the fortuining and verschansing on the verdek.



Stuurboordkant.


Bakboordkant


En n geheelplaatje.

And then it was time for the cannons on the starboard side.





And that is where we are tonight. I am very happy that I have finally put the cannons in the kuil (even if it is only on the starboard side). Now I have to switch forums again and go check on what is happening to the Bluenose.

Please take care my friends and cherish your shipbuilding time. (These days I feel like an administrator - not like a builder!)

Until next time / Vriendelijk groet
Heinrich

 

Echt netjes afgewerkt Heinrich. En mooi om de persoon achter dit project te zien.

 

Leuk inderdaad om het gezicht achter de man te zien! Je ziet eruit als een echte Cornelissen!

Die kanons staan goed daar!

 

Good to see the man behind the Haarlem Heinrich, and nice progress you made in spite of your busy month. She is looking great. Well done mate
Nice picture of you and the Haarlem

 

@Stephan Kertész Baie dankie Stephan. Al die werk wat jy in daardie prachtige Galleon insit, is n groot inspirasie vir ieder en elk!

 

@*Hans* Dankie Hans. Die kannonen het my nagmerries gegee, maar dir het goed gekomt. Ja - ek dink daardie voorkop en neus is echt Cornelissen!

 

@Pingu57 Baie dankie, Peter my ou vrind. Die plaatje is dit almal kan sien dis nie n spook wat op die bouverslae kommentaar lewer nie!

 

Inderdaad leuk om eens het bijbehorende koppie te zien.

@Wodkadrinker Hello Cor - I am not so sure about the "Master" , but luckily the Haarlem is also in the picture!

 

Dit word weer mooi!

 

Is een heel mooi gebouwd schip
Ik dacht dat je altijd een hoed en pijp had
