- The boat reality is different to the plans
- The decoration according with this reality is out of scale.
Hello all
After reviewing the Compass Rose, i realized that:
With the same idea I install a liz flower in the back of the officers place
As well as the bench floor frame

- The color contrast is not good
- The size is going to be a problem in the future

But......
Not everything is going smooth....... I found this big mistake
This need to be corrected. With Heat, water and a little vises ...... this was the result

Let's start with the stern benches. These have an special form. So I decided to build like a "mold" 
I duplicated them, creating a back support for the little placks.
Using the same template, I built the top of them

This is the final result including the little top with hinges that eventually work!!!!!
This "Falua" has a little shield in the back side of the rudder (?? is this the right word?). Its form is curved.
So to fix it, I went attaching to pieces of basswood and made the cuts.
With the cylinder sanding tool I gave it the curve form

Very nice build Hellmuht. I also make oars the same ways as you. 
great!!! you put two lines instead of one. yours are even more complicated
This way I was trying to identify them as different pairs
Now the tent
This is looking great - we would have nothing against, to see more often posts showing your progress

Second....... I use Clay to make the first half
Third........ I use high temperature Silicone..... The firs half is ready.
I use the first half to replace the clay and repeat the process to make the second half. With a really sharp knife I do the little channels to evacuate the air at the time of the foundry.
As demolding agent I use a common powder.
The the foundry using a pewter kind metal
Aging Process
With a provisional masts installation this is how it looks so far

Great casting tutorial of "The Pedrero", Hellmuth! I guess, "The Pedrero" is the name for this type of swivel gun? Many, many thanks for sharing!
