Some of the pictures show that the poop deck and the cabin are planked, the reason is that I was alternating the planking and painting.

Looking good Zoly, the paint work really brings her to life, the red, black and the wood really blend in nicely, I'm sometimes wishing I had painted the RC with red bulwarks, ah well, maybe next time,
best regards John.

Hello everyone,all my my images have been updated and replaced.
Great work.
After installing the moulding on the poop deck/cabin and the step I gave it a good sanding with 220,320 and 400 grit sandpapers finishing with 3 coats of matte poly.

I decided to use a generic gun carriage kit.
Continue with the rigging of the cannon carriages.
A little dry fit
