The stern is striking Sasha! I like your second option on the bars better as well.

Hi Sasha
I prefer the second option

Great job on the stern! 
Good afternoon. Thank you all for the likes and comments. I didn't disappear. It's just that the work I'm doing now takes a lot of time and it's very responsible. These are the upper rails of the bow. In the magazine, this part is made of plywood, and of course I replaced it with a black hornbeam. This part consists of 5 elements.
Now I need to make a continuation to the port side and then make a decorative regel from a yellow hornbeam on top. Work continues

Good morning Sasha. Everything is so correct and wonderfully made on your Victory. I have to ask the question tho? Painted gunport covers? It just jumps out at me. Cheers Grant
Grant, hi. Thank you. The port covers were black. This is written in Longridge's book: "The outside of the port covers were painted black", so they are black for me
Those bow pieces are very tricky. We’ll done!
Good morning Sasha. Apologies for this misunderstanding. I meant are you not going to cut them out and reinsert or make some indication of a closed gunport. To me the current appearance with the gunport just painted on the hull does not give it an appearance of the closed gunport. Your colour and positioning pattern is perfect. You may still be getting there and I'm just jumping the gun so to speak. Cheers Grant
Grant, hi. The lids will still have hinges and hoists with which the lids were lifted
Sasha, let me try to help with the translation issue...
@GrantTyler - the gun port covers are not merely painted on. They once looked like this:
And then covers were added like this:
He just fit them so precisely they look like they were painted in place. Don't try this at home - it's only for the professionals!

I really did not make full-fledged covers, as they really were, because I don’t see the point in this. All ports are closed
Makes perfect sense to me! Wonderful work here Sasha!
Hi Sasha - now I get it. Your perfection is just too perfectSasha, let me try to help with the translation issue...

. I don’t know how I missed this but my ignorant posts are clearly a tribute to how perfect you did this. Amazing Sasha-

Friends, good afternoon.
I turn to you for help.
I want to make scuppers on Victory to drain water from the decks. Here is an example
This is to understand what is at stake.
Information about their presence, quantity and location is very different. In the book that I have, they are indicated only on the handeck and operdeck, 8 pieces per board. Even have their diameter. But the location is not specified. Again - there are no scuppers on the mid-deck. In the anatomy of Longridge, it is only indicated that they are in the sides. On the current model, they are completely absent. After the next reconstruction, they were removed, leaving 1 in the area of the admiral's entrance. It seems that I read that the model Victory, which was performed by Slade , has these scuppers, but I cannot find such a model in my segment of the Internet.
I will be glad for any help.

There appear to be scuppers on the wales in some cases.
I don't see any on the actual ship. Perhaps they were covered over when the ship became a museum?
