@Kortes
Just wonderful construction sir. Would you be kind enough to show how you created the rebate around the top of the ship's bell frame. It's the consistency of the rebate, considering the complex curves of the top that really impresses me and prompts my inquiry. I'm assuming a profiled scraper, but not sure.
Thank you for sharing your skilled works.
Greetings , dear Ken I have tried several ways, and opted for milling. I have made a simple device, a piece of nail is serving as a deten, twhich is on the photo. If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer them.My best regards
Very good idea - many thanks for sharing
I made two options for windows rats-cameras on the aft shells. I haven't yet decided what color I will choose for them.
I like the yellow frame more, but...obviously, it will depend on the entire color schema. 
Very good method for making such windows
I guess the wood is yellow hornbeam, or?
Like Jim mentioned already - it would fit very good for the Bees-painted ships of this persiod

Greetings, dear colleagues. I have made anchor closures. The absence of a lathe makes me look for other manufacturing options. First I made tubes of various sizes. Then I soldered a wire belt. I made one version of brass. I tried it looks nice, but not authentic, on the ships they were made out of lead. I'll try another version of iron so it's closer in color.Then I'll choose between the two.
