Many Thanks also to @Magic Mike , @Charlie1805 and @Tobias for the greetings - thanks a lot
some more cleaning work on the tafarel and the window frames - the figurines are still untouched
A small but important step are the installations of two small platform on both sides of the stern - here later on will be the two figurines standing - so important to fix before I am able to finalize the complete decorations
they have to be installed slightly aft, so after sanding there will be a smooth surface - view from the top
view from undersight
I am in moment not sure, if I will make at the sides also some profile, so therefore I prepared some "bolting"
after sanding so these platform are getting the correct shape
now after this sanding the windows can be finally installed
Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued .....

Apologies Uwe, dunno how I missed that, a very belated happy birthday.
Very nice work, I think I would struggle to visually check symmetry with one half planked and the other naked.
Kind Regards

Das nenne ich „ begnadeter Modellbau“ einfach fantastisch, was Du da zeigst. Ob es dieses Modell ist, oder ein Anderes. Einfach fantastisch. Mehr kann man dabei nicht lernen, als deinen Bauberichten zu folgen. Danke dafür
That's what I call "gifted model construction" simply fantastic what you show there. Whether it is this model or another. Just fantastic. You can't learn more than to follow your construction reports. thanks for that

, this is mustard after dinner, as a Dutch saying goes, but herewith my very belated birthday wishes!
Many Thanks to @NMBROOK , @Charlie1805 , @RDN1954 and @Lucian29 for your kind words and comments and also all the likes received
and sometimes it is looking also strange and not correct - therefore maybe also the post by @Lucian29
but looking now on the photo it seems to be a visual / optical ilusion, beacuse on the right side the planking is missing
When I follow the imaginary cut with the completed planking it would look like appr. the following
But definitely I will check it, especialy maybe the planked side should maybe somehow adjusted .....
Oh Ja - it is sometimes not easy and you have to take a second and a third look and check, if everything is (more or less) symetric

Many Thanks for giving me this hint and I will check it once more when I am back in the workshop.

I made a short check of the hole - and you are right - you have good eyes
The left lower part of the planked area has to be slightly rounded
At the end, nobody will see it. Finally, when the rudder (or the upper part of the rudder is installed, I will cover the hole with some canvas, which was usually installed, that no splash water can come inside the ship
as an example, the rudder of my Le Coureur, only to show the principle..... I hope on the Granado the execution will be better
Ditto
Many thanks to all the comments and replys, also for the likes received
Coming back to the windows - it was time to give some glass into the frames
Some time ago my friend Karl Ingwer alias @kalliboot gave me some small sheets of Mika - and I gave them a try - Many thanks once more to send them
fixed the Mika with some small drops of CA-glue from the backside and afterwards the frames fixed in the stern
The frame of these windows are in real very small, so not much space for the glue - but I made it acceptable
Due to the fact, that the windows will be also slightly visible from inside view - once more acceptable in my subjective opinion - hope that the next windows in the next model will be better
The little bit of white wood glue were removed after making the photo (but I have to check if I really did it)
with this perspective we can see the reflection in the Mika-glass - I made my first glas windows

the windows from Mika-glass looks great
Very impressive Uwe and a clever way to thin down and remove the window pane wood.
A very authentic representation of window glass with the mica!
The glazier did a nice job. Be friendly to him/her, Uwe.
Regards, Peter
The thin sheets of mica are perfect. Nicely done! Magic Mike
