Next is to add the locks on the riding bitt. I see this detail on a lot of great models. In the sots drawings it is not shown but I love this detail and add them.
I made these from burnished brass nails, bending around round nose pliers.

And after soldering the eyes.

Unfortunately I already glued the riding bitt to the deck a while ago. but to drill the holes for the eye bolt my small drill is now very handy.

And fitted in place.
