I have no idea why some photos are uploaded sideways.

That often happens when uploading directly from your phone. If you look at the bottom left of the post, there is a link to "Attachment Editor". You can use this to fix them. I did that on your post, but I don't know if it fixes it for everyone, or just me.

Thank you Russ, they are OK now.

The chain plates and deadeyes have been mounted to the main channel on the starboard side.

Chain plates look terrific.
One spectacularly beautiful model!

The fabrication and installation of the chain plates is complete. The entire job took 15 days. Unless I'm mistaken, a total of 64 chain plates were installed on the ship. It was a repetitive and somewhat tedious task, but it's finally finished.

First class work, Mustafa! The copper is taking on a nice patina as well.

 

[Rebus]

Beautiful work. It looks great and very consistently done.

 

[Jack Sparrow]

congratulations on a job well done. They do look great.
I am only 6 in but that is because I am sort of burned out a little with this ship. I'll resume when I feel better.

Looks amazing Mustafa - certainly a ship that has been modeled quite a bit - and yours stands out as one of the best I have seen. Congrats !

Beautiful Mustafa! Nice and straight, even and angled properly. Well done!

Repetitive and tedious tasks! I'm on spar 2 of 20 on Flying Cloud. Each is a whole little model that needs to be tricked out. I was going to do a very minimal partial rig, declare victory and move on. After being seduced into envisioning a full rig, I'm wondering "WHAT was I thinking?!?"
Your model continues to amaze. As I have said before, I have seen quite a few "Connies" in museums. Yours stands out among the best! Congratulations! Your persistence and dedication are paying off!

Thanks, Paul. Yes, copper does develop a beautiful patina over time.

Thanks my friend. The fact that this ship is still preserved today and that countless images of it are available online is incredibly helpful for me.

Thanks for the kind words, Peter. Ship modeling involves a lot of repetition, but I genuinely enjoy it. Good thing we're not doing it for money otherwise it might feel more like a chore than a passion.
