Guys, thank you for all the likes and the time to follow this built.
Here we go with the hull ladder. Again, I followed Brad (@BradNSW) My ladder isn't of the same quality, nevertheless I am very comfortable with the results.
Post in thread 'Bonhomme Richard - Pear Cross section kit (with scratch duplicate using alder) Unicorn Model' https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/...e-using-alder-unicorn-model.13555/post-420222
First added a piece of wood under the step provided by the kit.
Then I sanded the wood excess
Then I did a jig to do centered holes on each steps
Then I passed the rope and started to glue each step from the top keeping more or less the distance/position of the provided plan drawings.
That is all for today folks. I still have to glue the other side ladder.
Cheers !!
Daniel

A very nice addition, Daniel. Lots to look at on this model!
Thank you guys for the likes ... appreciated!!
Thank you Paul, I appreciate very much that you like it !!!
Allan .... I tried to do the hammock. It isn't good, but looks nice when you watch the model from the distance and not zooming an image HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA
Added the other side hull ladder and a "kind off " hammock
Best !!!

This really is a great looking model.Any thought to going an extra meter and add the racks and then rig a few hammocks to them? This is rarely done from what I have seen, but could be an interesting extra.

Hammock is an awesome addition!!
I think it looks pretty good and is definitely an interesting extra not seen on other models. Well done.

I'm with the other guys - I would leave it as a conversation starter. I probably wouldn't add 20 more, however .

Paul, I don't normally call people liars to their face (I normally do it behind their backs) but:I probably wouldn't add 20 more, however
Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Thank you Allan !!. It wasn't easy
You have to see the previous ones. This was the last one I tried and I said "enough, it is what it is" . Please, don't suggest more ideas of potential additions... HAHAHAThank you Paul !!! I agree 100% -I'm with the other guys - I would leave it as a conversation starter. I probably wouldn't add 20 more, however

Love the nice glass the cook added to the bread, I can smell the sweet smell from here.
Ladders look great installed, as you said the close ups were showing out of scale closeness of wood grains.

Fantastic - love the fun details. Grab some bread and chill in the hammock......
COMPLETED BUILD
THANK YOU ALL. !!!!! For your comments and likes and your time taking a look to this built.
As I mentioned several times, if you plan to built this Kit and/or the new version, read first the SOS builts links I pasted on my #1 posting. Their built quality and naval information are excellent.
I did my best on this kit concerning skills and patience (that isn't too big ).
This is a fantastic kit. The new version looks incredible nice. You don't need to be a master ship modeler to built this Kit. So, if you have "the itch"...... "go for it" !!!!.
I hope you all have enjoyed my build thread and I wish my images can help.
And here we go with those final images
