Looks great Adi, shouldn't you be inspecting the work? 
Yes Dean, I should.Looks great Adi, shouldn't you be inspecting the work?
Thanks for all likes and comments, well appreciated. This week the work on the bulwarks and rails demanded all my attention. The starbord side is finished, now it's time for the port side. Here you have to pay attention to the exact position and shape of the gun ports.

Very good work btw
Many thanks for all the likes and comments. Work on the bulwarks is completed. Including railings and gun ports.
Thank you for the likes and the comment. This week the top timber and the catheads were on the to do list. Since the entire length of the top timber could no longer be installed, they were shortened accordingly and adapted to the existing conditions. The Boudriot plan was the inspiration for this. The recess on the port bow side is covered because the bowsprit will later find its place here.
Next up were the catheads. Here, too, I followed Boudriot's plan as far as possible. Some rework was necessary to insert rope pulley into the brackets. It worked, but they don't rotate properly, but I don't think that's necessary.

Wonderful work Adi. You are a true craftsman!
Very good work - I am repeating my word in the comments, but your model deserves it
Beautiful work Adi!
One week is over. Dear friends, thanks you all for your likes and comments. Since I'm following Uwe's footsteps, It's that the design of the stern is the next step. It was clear to me that only the straight and not the curved rear planking was an option. I made a template out of cardboard to get the exact outline.
The existing stern section of CAF is used as a pattern and all the wonderful CAF decorations should be taken over unchanged as far as possible. That is, the transom decorations must be placed on the outside of the planking.
The preparotion of the window frames for the false windows turned out to be very tricky.
....and now, the full decoration.
...fresh oiled with tung oil.
the hole for the stiff boom in the transom is also there.

My friend - it is looking very good - well done 
Nice Adi! I bet those window frames were crazy fragile.
Absolutely Paul, absolutely.
