Continuing the carving.







And I finished covering the balcony railing.

Thanks again for the encouraging words and all the likes, friends.

Next, I finished the upper deck at the stern and carved the bowl with the bouquet, only on the port side for now.

As is my habit, I took a break from carving and finished the easel.



The reason I made the boat nameplate like this is because I mainly wanted to cover the 9V battery.

 

[BradNSW]

That is a BEAUTIFUL battery cover! !

Wonderful carving! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, but that's not my carving, I bought it on Aliexpress

Slowly but surely the deck equipment is coming to an end. The last deck that I was missing was the Gangway and its stairs.





For me, soldering is probably the hardest thing. I'll probably never learn it, but I'm glad I managed to do it this way.




Well, here are the last two stairs (ladders) to the top deck.

Since I had all the decks finished, I started installing the interior railings. First, I glued the previously made front railing, including the large bell.



Potom stredné zábradlie s malým zvonom.



And finally, the last one at the back. That was probably the hardest for me. My imagination had to play a little, because my skill failed. The carved decorations are my invention and I strayed quite far from the original. I am convinced that there are people who can do it, but I am not one of them. But on the other hand, I am glad that it turned out this way.



Just for comparison with a ruler.


Then a middle railing with a small bell.

They look great! If you can get this detail at 1/75, I'm going to try and do as well on my current 1/48 build.

Inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

 

[dockattner]

I'm delighted to see the detail you get at this scale. Bravo!

Thank you, Brad. I am sure you can handle it with no trouble.

Thanks, dockattner. I think we're in the same boat. Your skill is impressive.


I finally forced myself to finish the second bouquet, which complements the back decoration by the lantern.
I don't really like repetitive work, I prefer to always do something new.

Here is a small overview of the work on the bouquet.



And here is the result



And now, I have thrown myself into decorating the side of the balcony. I wonder when I will get around to doing round two on the other side



Just to give you an idea of the dimensions.
