“La Jacinthe” Schooner France -1:42 scale [COMPLETED BUILD]
Our friends already commented your work on the the ornamentation - nothing to add - only to repeat.
And when I take a look at your last photo of the birds-view on your deck - I love really very much the total appearance of your model - beautiful

I finished the hatchway lids. As the size of the elements is small I had to make a pattern out of nail. 
Beautiful Work, love it
Muy muy bueno. Me encanta tu trabajo... Que tratamiento final das a la madera? Aceite de Tung? Danish?
Basically I finished the spars. Material - pear tree and black hornbeam. 
Tops of the masts, bowsprit and the end of the boom were painted with printer ink. 
Truly superb workmanship.
Here are some more elements, before final fitting and assembling.

Thank you very much dear colleagues.
These parts are looking very good and will fit very well to your model 
I made dead eyes.
I cut them from the pear tree. For the drilling I had to make one simple device.

simple and very clever - many thanks for showing us your way
In order to make metal pieces of lashing cleat- dead eyes I have made a small rim out of a small -diameter bolt.
And then I proceed using the technology of the master-classes. I decided to solder at the big diameter, because when the dead-eye is swaged, the deformation in this area is minimal and the probability of damaging the solder is less. 
Before the soldering, the adjacents parts were grinded off.
Afterwards - blackening and assembling.
