Hello everyone .
So After 3 weeks of building the officer gallery it's almost done .
There's alit difference between the instructions and the actual build. while the instructions are showing old version of the ship with metal cast parts,the newer version of the ship all the parts are made from PE.
I took some ideas from other builds, and some improvisations.
For the leds upgrade, hole in the hull need to be opened so after i marked the location of the side of gallery i made the hole.
And closing it up and trimming the excess.
After some wet fitting i marked the windows locations and open holes again for the leds .
The windows parts that made from the PE came with thin clear fillment on the windows,with every tuch they torn from the windows ,so i cleard all the fillment from the windows painted them with white and filld the windows again with old TESTORS clear parts cement & windows maker
I got great results of semi clear windows.
And attaching all the parts together.
Occre's downgraded parts don't look very impressive and unfortunately I don't have the time for scratch build the entire gallery so, small upgrade of my own with ideas from other builds made the job done. Looking already beter.
Working on the rear part was somewhat tedious withe the lack of proper instructions and illustration with the new part, so i used the same solution that John Aliprantis used ,but i less satisfied with this solution and considering to make some adjustments with the part.
And for the conclusion of the gallery build for now
Later on i will paint the rest of the gallery and make the corrections if i will decide to make so.
But for now i will continue with other stuff to rest from this phase of the build.
Cheers and have great week
Guy

Helo everyone,
After long absence due to sort schedule withe the build and lots of time consuming to the Hull building phase
and August summer vacation, I finally finished the all the Hull build.
So... After ending the gallery build i started with the cannons.
The carriage first
Simple jig for cannon hinges cover
The cannons rigging process also simple rigging .
Another simple jig for the eyebolts knots
And half of the cannons installed
Next are the dummy cannons
From leftvto right:
Out of the box, after some sanding ,blackend and ready for install.
The muzzle casting as
And after drilling it to improve appearance .
Yet another simple jig to drill the cannon pin placment
The dummy cannons are installed
Next are the service boats , unfortunately i didn't took photos from the Hull build.
Next are the anchors i replace the metal stock that came with the kit by hand made ones made from walnut, and secured with blackened brass strips
Tomorrow i will upload the rest of my progress.
Enjoy
Cheers
