Is this a reposting of your previous build in updated build log, or a second ship build?
Added treenails to the hull, then painted the bulwarks black, and decided to paint the keel in a matching black to frame the pearwood hull planks.
Then I added the name plate...

Now it was time for the rudder to be built, painted and added with hinges. I created grooves to simulate the rudder being made of multiple pieces.
