First exam work on gratings ..

Ondras71 · Mar 17, 2020

Already glued lower cannons..

Next will be the main deck, preparing frames gratings..

Mainly cannons stored, blackened and placed at the end of construction ..

Uwek · Mar 19, 2020

Very good work - one question: will you blacken the gun-muzzles or will you keep them in the brass look?
I am asking, because you mentioned that they were glued already....

Thanks Uwek!!

Mainly cannons stored, glued only carts! Metal cannons will be blackened and placed at the end of the construction ..

After closing the main deck I found out that some equipment could be seen through the cannon openings. Made pumps and chimney. Capstan will be made later..

Furthermore, holes have been created for the Halyard knighthead..

Beautiful work. Great to follow along.

Dear Ondras. As I have said before, your build is one of my favourites to follow. I really love the balance between being very detailed, yet clean in look. Your finishing is exceptionally neat and the colour effect amazing. Please put my mind at ease and tell me that the part I have circled still needs to be finished. Each time I read your log, I mean to ask you - today I have finally scraped enough courage together to do so.

Greetings and thank you for your kind words Heinrich.

The marked part is only the base, precisely grinded. I used for it a shaped piece of plywood..

The top mirror and wales are not yet placed, as the puttied wood strips will be painted with geometric shapes..

All polished to shape, just buy airbrush ..
