Good morning Maarten. I can’t repeat what went through my mind when I saw this stand- suffice to say “That is so uniquely amazing”. Cheers Grant

Hello Maarten,
Do you have any idea where/what Part#30 (2 of them total) goes or where it is supposed to be used????? I am wondering if it was initially supposed to be used on the Carvings (Part 30Z & 30Y) in their initial prototype kit release ??? Obviously Parts 30Z & 30Y already have the item on the Carvings.

I also did not use them and agree with you these were intentionally used as item 30y and z.
You can use them as additional decoration medaillons for the great cabin.

Yes after finishing Alert and cleaning up my work bench my RC is back in the workshop.
The first task is to fit the SB railing, the PS side I already did some 2 years ago.
First I started with fitting and finishing the frame tops. I has sawn these already while making the PS side so they are exactly te same size.
On top the railing is fitted, this pear wood strip is coloured with black Ecoline and sealed with Clou. In between and at the end sanded with fine steel wool.
Next is the SB bullwark sheave.

Nice to see her back on the desk. She's worth finishing, Maarten. I have cleaned my chair and placed it back for watching.
Regards, Peter
This was one of my favorite builds to follow, so good to see you back on track! 
Thx gents for all your support, highly appreciated. Hopefully you have some time , this as I will finish the hull and then start on my new Fluyt build. During next winter I will start rigging her.
To keep you entertained just a tiny update.
In the SB bullwark the sheave for the fore course is fitted.
For this I have to cut a slot in the bullwark to fit the sheave at the spot of this mermaid.
First I drilled two holes which I filed into shape with a very small square diamond file.
Step by step untill the sheave fits.
Seen from the inside.
The sheave is fitted with a brass axle for which I chisseled two tiny slots.
The sheave and axle fit in exactly after I painted the inside with darp brown ink.
To finish it the in and outside holes are covered with a small frame.
Now the SB bullwark is finished for now.
Next is working on the SB chain wales.
I already started to sand these to a tapered.
On the top is a lasered cut simulating the individual parts of which the chain wales are build.
I have copied this to the bottom as these are individual parts and these joints are also seen at the bottom. These I carved with a sharp scalpel knive.
And the carving also shows on the side
These are all the chain wales.
Hopefully on Friday I can finish these so I can start on the cabins on Saturday.
