[Mr.Deep]

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.

 

[Mr.Deep]

Poltava today looks like this. I'm doing the rigging. The sails are ready, sewn. The construction is delayed by the decor. I'm waiting for 3D models to be made for printing.

 

[Mr.Deep]

I'm almost done with the standing rigging. I put up a flagpole. He busied himself with anchors. On the main ones, you also need to make a buoy rope hitch with anchor buoy . On the smaller ones, it remains to tie an anchor rope to the eyelets on the barkhout. Well, I made a stand for the model. It remains to cut out the keel blocks .

 

[Bryian]

That’s an excellent looking model, well done.

 

[Mr.Deep]

We continue the construction. I tinted the sails with tea bags and handfuls of onion husks. Soaked in their varnish for rigidity. I started the installation with a blind and a bowen blind.

 

[Mr.Deep]

Then he continued. I hung and tied the mizen topsails. He also tied large topsails to the yards.

 

[Mr.Deep]

We continue the construction. Next up is the reef becket topsails. Also put on the topsails bowline.
