I have put of the cannons rigging as I am making ropes and trying to figure out how to get them thru the small eyelets. Thinking about going to bigger size. About to finish beakhead by rigging the gun ports then on to forecasted cannonade. I'm not happy with the main companion way and will probably remake it.

I misunderstood the instructions on the quarterdeck painting and have ordered a replacement from Jotika. Finishing the bow, painting the crests and moving to the poop deck. I'll post more pics later this week.

I meant the quarterdeck screen assembly being painted when it shouldn't have been. Replacement hopefully coming soon.

Finished the bow section, moving to poop deck assemblies. I won't install this deck until after I receive the ordered replacement of the quarterdeck screen assembly coming sometime next week.

Finished the cannons riggings, all the quarterdck assemblies as well as all the poop deck assemblies. Finished the entry ports and steps and finishing up the fenders and chesstrees. It's amazing how much sculpting needs to be done for some parts to fit where they're suppose to fit. Drilling holes in the small brass buckets without a drill press proved interesting at best. I will start working on the channels this weekend.
