Let's stop there for now.The wedge rails on the deck ran out.I'll order as soon as they come, then I'll continue.I'll take care of Napoleon's army for now.

Very nice, French dragoons in full attack.

 

[Mr.Deep]

My hands reached out to Poltava again. I cleaned the first skin. Sharpened the knee of head, decorated the layout with pieces. Glued the keel from several parts, making locks. I glued the main deck decking. Installed the lower barhouts. I glued the flooring boards between them. I glued the upper barhouts over the gun ports. He started gluing the bickhead bulkhead.

 

[Mr.Deep]

We continue to glue the finishing trim. The side on the quarterdeck,poop deck and forecastle deck will be blue. I plastered the transom with boards.

 

[Mr.Deep]

Результат работы за неделю.

 

[Mr.Deep]

The end of the second skin. He started drilling and hammering copper nails.

 

[Heinrich]

This is absolutely stunning!

 

[Bryian]

That’s a fabulous looking build. Well done.

 

[Mr.Deep]

I returned to Poltava. I continue to make imitation nails. I finished the underwater part of the hull. It was tinted to look like an oak tree. He began to climb up.

 

[Mr.Deep]

I'm retiring from eye surgery. I'm starting to work on the model little by little. Poltava, 72nd, samopil. I finished nailing the sides from the barkhout. The upper part remains, but this is later after the installation of the waist deck. I glued the frames of the coamings, assembled one grid. I installed the channels, starting to prepare the interfaces for installation. I assembled and glued the port covers to the lower deck. I glued the carriage together for a sample. In short, a little bit of everything. My eyes get tired quickly anyway. I don't know how long it will take to fully adapt to the new lens.
