Thanks for the reactions and likes appreciate it!
The gun breeches for the visible guns are ready, but I will have to think about whether I will also add gun breeches to the guns that are not on display. If so, I will do it on a more basic level as there will be nothing to see afterwards.
Below some more photos
Also one of the moulds I use, as said before, this is a handy way to prepare the guns one by one in base, before they are placed on the model, also prevents any damage that may occur when preparing the guns on the model itself.
Next chapter will be the gun tackles , which I am still experimenting with at the moment.

And again thanks for the likes, reactions and watching.
A bit further
The last few days I've been working on the gun tackles , since I had already made the blocks and hooks it was a bit of a job to get everything together, so after the necessary hours looking through a magnifying glass, the tackles for the first 6 pieces are ready
And after an afternoon of fretting and a little bit of grumbling, the first pieces are in place. The rest of the pieces on starboard side I will not rig, because after placing the deck nothing more will be seen, this also applies to the rigged guns, after the upper deck is placed and the sloops, there will be minimal visibility on the deck,

Everybody thanks for the likes and watching really appreciate it!!
Since we had such a severe storm here on the Leeward Antilles (NOT) and were obliged by the government to stay at our home. So I took my time to rig up the last pieces of the deck guns
At least we had a productive day.
See below the result.

Thanks again for the thumbs up and looking It is appreciated
A bit further on, I have planked the upper deck, there is a slight difference in colour compared to the lower deck, but that will change in the course of time, as I have used the same materials and techniques, it has only been 10 years since I made the underlying deck.
I have also made a start with the connecting railing to the foredeck, for this I did not use the supplied walnut but made one myself from beech, as I found the walnut a little too coarse in structure,
The photos below explains it all.

Good evening Boris. Very neat cannon rigging. These look brilliant on your Agamemnon. Nice! Cheers Grant
Boris your work is immaculate. I am enjoying watching this come together. Cheers Grant
Boris, I really appreciate the precision of your work and the inspired selection of colors in your interpretation. A delight to follow your build.
Looking very good
awesome job. Your hull is very smooth and crisp.
