HMS ALERT 1777 cutter POF by shota70 [COMPLETED BUILD]

Just catching up on your log Shota. As others have said your build is very impressive. As for those bolts you have a lot of skillful patience my friend.
 
good evening my dear friends
today I continued the work on the nails of the planking.
I will present to you the progress, in my estimation I finished about a third of the number of nails. so we you can get an idea of the expected result at the end of the process.
it will be expected to finish in a few more days, until then good night everyone:cool:

good evening my dear friends
today I continued the work on the nails of the planking. I'm almost done with the nailing work, I have about 70 left to install, I think I've already installed about 500.
I finished the package of nails I had and I need to look for where I have more...hope I haven't finished the stockpile.
How do they say "we entered the last line of the race track" :) :cool:

Your pictures from some distance do your trennels justice. Very nice indeed.
 
hello dear friends
I am happy to announce that today I finished installing the screws/nails of the planking in the ship.
As I mentioned the last few times, there are many hundreds of nails and according to "Murphy's Laws" I ran out of nails right towards the end, so my good friend stuglo gave me several dozen and with his help I was able to finish the Sisyphean work. After that, with the help of the special soldering iron head that I made about two months ago, I created round marks for round pegs/nails at the edges of the boards as you will see in the picture of the stern area.
after that I started installing the wooden panels for the anchor covering on the planking in the bow area.
I wish you all a pleasant and enjoyable weekend :)

What a impressive amount of work, Shota. It must be a relief to have this done.
