HMS ALERT 1777 cutter POF by shota70 [COMPLETED BUILD]

good evening dear friends
today I worked on the cannon ball racks.
I would like to emphasize that I intentionally left a few empty holes on the unpainted side so that they could see what it looked like without the cannonballs and also to simulate a situation after firing.

Good morning Shota. I love the first photo. She looks so realistic. Stunning detail. Cheers Grant
 
so much cannonballs for this small ship - I do not know how many shots they made during the action against the Le Coureur.....

One question, because I can not recognize this detail - on some it is visible on some not - What we can see here?

my dear friend
I like your sense of humor :Dhow wins the battle:p
I have learned from our dear friend Maarten that create a rings wite The eye bolts on the racks are for the Shot rack.

However, unlike him, the small rings were attached to the metal plate, because in my opinion it is unlikely that they would be fixed perpendicular to the plate, because during activity the gunner might stumble upon them and even get hurt by them, so in my estimation, the rings were made in a hole that allowed them a moderate amount of movement. I decided to fix them in a position that prevents collision/friction. in the book Anatomy of the Ship-Alert, I did not find a drawing of this special part.

By the way, in the part where the shooting took place, you will not find these rings because they have been removed
 
good evening dear friends
today I have focused on the in the final preparations of the parts (such as browning the square frames at the end) and preparations required for optimal installation of the cat head.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friend Uri who donated the 4 brass pulleys, which were not found in my kit.
Good night friends

Hi Shota. Very nice indeed. Just when I think that there is an abundance of detail and no more can could be expected, along comes another post with yet more, where is it going to end.

thanks my friend for your kind words
 
good evening dear friends
today I continued working on the Work on the chain wale. First I modified the dead eyes by changing the rope holes. next I connected the metal rings I clamp around them squeezing the ends gently to lock them around the dead eye. the next step is to Followed by fitting the 3 parts to chain wale. It should be noted that I connected the lower part of the chain plates (in the form of a round disk with a hole) to the ship's hull with a blackened nail.
good night dear friends Sleep
