Good steady progress. Keep it up, Mustafa! Good work on the rudder and deck furniture. I found that tapering the octagonal windless barrel was a pain, but really important to the look of the windlass. Your coppering looks spot-on. Well done!

Thank you Dave. I am doing my best. Do you think i need to improve my windlass barrel?

I completed inner planking of the bulwarks and painted them. I wasn't happy with the look of main deck walnut planking so i decided to make second layer with 1x5 mm basswood strips.

Dry fit with the rudder and the stern post

I completed the main deck planking and the poop deck planking continues

I cut the gun ports and painted them

Hello Mustafa, you are moving along pretty fast and really accurate. Are you planning to put treenails on the desk, or imitate them?

Thank you Jim. I am planning to imitate them.

The capping rails at the bulwarks have been completed.

I started treenailing. I am not sure if toothpicks are in scale but as a result i don't make models for the museums . By the way i painted a yellow band in the upper hull

The tiller is ready.

The companion and skylight in progress.

Looking very good

 

[mtbediz1]

The rudder is in place. The combined companion+skylight is ready but not glued in place on the deck because i have to complete treenailing first.

Looking very good
