Awesome, as usual!
Great to have you back building, after all the celebrations in your family and condolences on your Father-in-law.
I particularly like the scuppers extending slightly, both for looks and functionality. Most photos of Navy Board models built in the 18th century do not include the scuppers. This photo appears to show one toward the bow that extends slightly...

Thank you Peter.
It's good to be back and actively contributing to the forum. When I'm not building myself, it kind of holds me back from commenting on others too.
That is incredible modeling work. It's a pleasure to follow your build.

Thank you Brad.
My method for extending these scuppers may not be historically accurate, but they do add a special touch to the model I like.
The scuppers of the lower gundeck extended anyway because a cloth shaped like a trunk was attached around them to prevent water from flowing back in. I'll be installing those scuppers soon.
Thank you very much Jan.
I hope from now on to give more regular updates.
Welcome back Herman, good to see you back on the 7p.

Please do. This is looking really very good.
It is good to be back Steef.
I am now working on the scuppers for the gundeck and the wooden board behind which the riflemen found some protection. No idea what the english name would be for that board.
Thanks Maarten. It feels really well to be building again.

In Dutch we call that "verschansing"? I believe in English is It Bulwark
