good evening dear friends
I'm happy to update that the 5 hatches coamings with trellises/lattice are ready.
the next step is The building pair of ship's water pumps and then I will return to lay the upper deck in order to achieve an exact match between the panels that make up the deck and the hatches and pumps installed along the central longitudinal line of the ship.
For now enjoy with me for the pictures

my dear friend's
I really appreciate all your kind words and compliments on The group of ship model builders in my country, we really enjoy each other's company,
as well as your words & likes on the quality of my construction. it's a great blessing to have people who understand the investment in a hobby and know how to say a kind word and support.

Very good result - Looking good my friend
just only realized, that on some of the grids you made the small nail dott - on some not - especially on one you made the "nails" on half of the same grating.
I would do it everywhere

Dear friend, you have a sharp eye and indeed you are right, I am intended to do it but with a different and better method
I am looking forward to see the way and result of the new method - especially if the result is better.....
Your grids looking very good.

Bardzo dziękuję, drogi Mirku, za piękne słowa i komplementy
Wow Shota my friend it's like so often, time flies and I had to catch up on a lot in a blog. Excellent work you have done. As I see you had a meeting among friends and fellow model builders, very nice models in your picture. Your details are becoming more and more precise and fine, absolutely great results and a very nice overall picture.
Those hatches look incredible. Very nice work.

good evening dear friends
I spent the last week creating the pumps. They consist of a pair of 8 strips milled into a triangular shape and which need a lot of fine tuning to create the slanted octagon of the pump.
The pump is strengthened by 5 octagonal rings from a tin as well as the pumping assembly with the handle.
First I cut the triangles with a scalpel and then I sanded the triangles. it's required to produce an accurate octagon.
first I glued 4 triangles that came to two halves that eventually fit together as one pump.
Unfortunately, when I came to fit the five rings to the pump body, I discovered that it was too thick. Therefore I sanded gently to reach the required width. However, since in one of the pumps I was not able to maintain an exact octagonal line and slope, I made a new pump using the mf 70. I was only able to achieve a good result on the second attempt.
Later I painted the body of the pumps in
red (in the same shade as the other parts that were painted in the same color).
then I assembled the pump assembly parts with the handle and installed them on the pumps as well as the octagonal rings.
Finally I hand made two black wooden rings that would fix and connect the pumps to the ship's deck.
I am satisfied with the result I achieved after several days of hard work and while overcoming practical challenges.
wish all of us A pleasant and calm weekend
