That's looking very nice, Tobias. The imitation with tissue paper is a nice option. I'll keep that in mind for the deck of my model.

Good evening.
@Mawa @RogerD @OlivierF @GrantTyler @Mirek @Peter Voogt thank you very much for the kind words and all the likes left.
The deck is finished and the various structures such as mast holders, anchor winch holders etc. that go through the deck have been adjusted. Next I'll start with the nails (square iron bolts). I contacted GD for this because I didn't know whether they were iron or tree nails. In the French Navy, iron bolts were used for the main deck, gun deck etc. and sealed with Galipot. For this I'm using the homemade square wire with a thickness of 0.4mm again.

Lovely work Tobias! The square nails will be a very nice detail.
Very, very good. Saubere Sache.
Beautiful and meticulous work Tobias.

It's looking really good, Tobias
Love the square nails and envy the precision with which they are applied. Great work.
I like it very much - clean and accurate work like always
You are showing us a very nice square-nailing, Tobias. They are beautiful in proportion to the size of the planks.
Regards, Peter
Today is another one of those beautiful days when you can do the work outside, nailing the deck.
Thank you @dockattner @Mirek @pianoforte @RogerD @AnobiumPunctatum @Herman @Uwek @Peter Voogt for your valued comment and all the likes received.
Not a real update, just a snapshot I want to share with you.

Absolutely stunning work and photography! The beams, ribs, and deck planks are all so crisp and sharp. The treenails look like the carpenters used plumb lines to lay them out in such an exact manner. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work!!
good work - working outside with sunlight -> you can see very good the shiny nails
nice and accurate nailing pattern -> GUT GEMACHT
Na, da bin ich ja auf Augsburg gespannt.....

Dear Uwe @Uwek thank you very much, you will probably have to wait until October in Evina. Unfortunately I can't come to Augsburg, we have lots of guests visiting.
Thank you for your compliment, I have to admit that the carpenter used something similar to a plumb line. Something more modern like adhesive tape with a width of 2mm.
Mirek, thank you. Your comments are always appreciated as you are a great builder yourself in my eyes.
True story
@GrantTyler thanks my friend.
The starboard side has been finished with the inside planking, we're continuing on the port side, while it was drying I started on the outside planking, here I'm using boxwood again to pick up the yellow of the coloring as can be seen in the monograph.

The planking is looking really nice. I like the combination of pear and boxwood
Lovely planking Tobias! I agree with Christian - the color palate is really attractive.
