Keep up a great job!! We will have time to rest, then.

Great work I can't believe how quickly it's taking shape.

Hello everyone. Something I have not written or shown anything for a long time.
Made some of the deck flooring amidships. Part, because the rest will not be visible, and this section is visible through the front entrances.
on a part of the deck I made markings for the dowels and installed the frame of the admiral's entrance on both sides.

 

[Alexander74]

Filled in the space to the top. What tricks do you have to go to in order to fasten for a while some elements as in these photos

Hi Sasha,

Will you leave these as holes to simulate pegs? Or will you fill them with something?

Very precise work!

 

[Alexander74]

Gondek and midship will have closed cannon ports, so I did not cut them (ports). Then there are full-fledged ports. And here the dimensions from the magazine and Anatomy do not converge at all. To do something right-like, I first set up some of the infill between the frames at a level just above the deck. On these blocks I put the lower part of the gun port. I had to assemble the gun in order to correctly set the height of the port. The bar to the left of the implement is the template for the weapon ports. I will use it to make port frames (such an idea). Well, I also fiddled with the case a little more.

Hi Paul. There will be pins, of course. I just haven't done it yet.

Lovely work going to be a great model

 

[Alexander74]

Hello everyone. Thanks for your support and comments. I was away from the monitor for a week, so I didn't do much with the model. Made the pins for the deck. I had a strip of 1x2 mm pear, turned it on a cone on a grinding machine, greased it with PVA glue and inserted it into the holes. I cut off the excess. It turned out like in photo 3

 

[Alexander74]

After the glue has dried, I cut off the protruding parts of the pins with a chisel and processed it with sandpaper of different grain sizes. I poured it with water to show the result. Evaluate to you.

 

[Alexander74]

This part of the deck will hardly be visible, only through the admiral's entrance, so I will leave some inaccuracies and shortcomings as they are.

 

[dockattner]

Personally I like the trenails in pear. It looks better than my birch toothpicks. Of course your approach is lots of work to make the pins!
