AlanHey Alan,
Glad you said that. I'll keep your tip in mind. Your deck really looks like madness. Thanks for showing it. I am impressed.
Best regards
Günther
Thanks for the tips on the cannons and anchor rope. I received my kit and will be starting it this weekend. Hope mine turns out as good as yours . I will be watching and learning from your build log
Dave
Thank you Alan. Much appreciated. You would not believe it but I actually misplaced the container and after your message I realised that and went for a hunt for it! Tony

Instructions video #24 completed
In this instalment I guide the anchor cables around the bits and out through the hawse holes in the bow
Construct the messenger cable and install it around the capstan and out through the pre drilled holes in the bow bulkhead (NOTE: In the video you are only instructed to harden the ends of the thread with CA glue to assist pushing them through the small holes,
I found that the way through was blocked by the wood pieces of the bow framework so had to drill though from the inside at a slight angle to make a route out for the threads)
Next I stain and install the 3 boards that create the manger area at the bow.
Next on to my mini lathe to turn 30 columns of varying heights and sizes to be placed on the lower gun deck.
Finally I bend some 0.5mm diameter brass rod as per the templates to form the bilge pump handles then insert them in position.

Instructions video #25 Part 1
I have taken quite a few photos so far in this instalment so I’ve decided to split video 25 into 2 parts
In this part I build the rudder and copper plate it. Make and shape the Gudgeons and Pintles, fit them in position and install the rudder in place.
Finally in this part I make and install the rudder’s gaiter. I was initially concerned that they did not included the spectacle plate at this stage, but fast forwarded several videos and see that it is included in the kit and is fitted at a later stage (video 50 I think) after attaching the chains to it.

Instructions video #25 Completed
In this final part of video #25 I built the rudder steering gear. In the instructions it doesn’t tell you to glue the tiller (L30) into the slot in the top of the rudder, but I could see no reason not to, it also helps keep the tiller level when trying to pass the thread around the brass sheaves/blocks etc.
I had a disaster when trying to drill a hole in the edge of part L35, it basically disintegrated into many pieces!
I did email AL that evening and to there credit they replied next day to say they had shipped a replacement, but from experience of other deliveries from them I know it will take over a week to arrive, plus I was concerned that as it would be made from the same thin plywood, the same thing might happen, so I sourced some 2mm thick MDF and made my own replacement.
The rest was reasonably straight forward and hopefully the following photos will be self explanatory.
