very nice craftsmanship and outcome.
Buccaneer Pirate Ship from OCCRE
Looking good. Nice work
Next wiil be belaying pin racks. It’s quite simple to make - just cut, grind and paint a few parts:
Next comes the decoration of the aft balcony. In addition to the manual, I wanted to paint the shields around the balcony. I'm not sure if this is correct, but in my opinion it looks better:
.
The ladders. In my opinion there should be four of them here but there are only three. They are assembled from metal blanks, primed and painted:

Continued good work! No, let me correct that…Great work!
Where would you put the 4th ladder, up front across from the single one?
IMHO, since the Buccaneer is not a real ship, there’s no right or wrong. You have the artistic license to change anything you like. I like the look of your painted decorations; it makes them stand out without looking tacky. Heck, I’m a Kenny Cheney fan and I’m planning on switching out the Jolly Rodger with a No Shoes Nation flag on my Buccaneer.

it seems to me that there should be a ladder here too:
Otherwise the upper deck will not be accessible.
Looks like you long and through work on the hull paid off. Nice job! With a little luck I should be able to begin sanding my 2nd planking within the next few days.

The decorative patterns look terrific! are the part of the kit? Very, very nice clean work, by the way. Beautifully executed! 
Thanks for the pic… After reading your build log, I’mi going to add the 4th set of stairs plus a railing similar to the other ones. Great build.
I see a lot of people here building Buccaneers. I started making masts. Unfortunately, I still can’t figure out how to ensure their correct position relative to the deck
I discovered a problem when installing the foremast-I don't know if it's a design problem or mine, but the fence is preventing the mast from being installed:
I had to trim the railing a bit.This is the result of about a month of working with masts:
Now I'm wondering what the next one will be.Please, can someone tell me which manufacturer is better to choose - Amati, Occre or Artesnia Latina?

That is a beautiful ship! Great work
Generally speaking a bollard is located on a dock . Aboard I would call them bittsNext will be deadeyes and bollards (if I understand the nautical terms correctly):

I waxed the threads on the deadeyes and painted the bollards.
I continue to do rigging ( Unfortunately I don't know the correct names of the different parts of the rigging ). I have that book 
and I'm trying to improve the model a little according to this book.
gun ports. I also decided to improve them a little and pasted them with the remains of sapelli veneer and painted (the manual suggests simply painting them):
view after installation of all rigging:
All that remains is to make the sails. I don't really like the ones that come with the kit. But I don't know where to get a better one. And in the books it is written that there should be a rope along the edges of the sails. But there is nothing about this in the manual. I'm not sure if I should do this.
