[Dematosdg]

Nice work! I especially like the rotating door latch on the partition. Nice detail.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thank you Brad !!! From a detail oriented and skilled modeler it is very appreciated.

Now “we are talking” Daniel.

Thank you Grant !!! Your comments are the best !!!

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

Thank you Paul, I appreciate very much that you like it !!!

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.

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 !!!

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:

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... HAHAHA

[BradNSW]

Looks yummy too!

Nice touch.

 

[Corsair]

OMG ! Those look perfect !

 

[Kurt Konrath]

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.
