Hallo and thanks to everyone for the kind comments.
Orlop Deck,
Dividing walls and pump shaft installed.
I leave the shaft partly open to show the pumps
and the cannonball shaft with its three different calibres.
First gun deck ,
partially planked to show the substructure.
Next I will probably install the ballast stones and storage barrels.
Production of the storage barrels in the individual work steps.
Although I didn't fill the entire storage room with it.
The ballast stones should actually be a bit smaller and more rounded,
but I didn't get them anywhere. Also works like that.
Gerard Delacroix once wrote to me,
Ballast stones were roughly the size of a walnut.
Ballast stones were mixed thoroughly with grinding ground
as an adhesive and filled up between the individual barrels.

Hello Karl. I have enjoyed your build since you started it and all the care you are putting in to it. Every thing looks outstanding sir. Keep up the outstanding work and will be following your build. Gary
Wow, that is incredible joinery.
If you plan to plank over those beautiful beams like you did to the deck below then that would be a travesty to your skills and ship modelling in general.
Thank you, I for one appreciate every pixel you post.
