What I am not yet sure if I will do them square or rounds. The kit have the decorations for round stern ports. But it is the same decoration as for the cannon ports. So first thought would be " are cannons placed there?" The answer is NO, but family and friends will be asking.
So here goes the dilemma:
A) Easy built ports : ROUND with decorations.
B) Difficult to build ports: SQUARE with doors.
Difficult decision......
Either way we will need a flexible endoscope to see inside through the ports...

Thank you Heinrich!!
Maarten already suggested the square ports. But the kit come with a round carved decoration. And because this is a fantasy Statenjacht, full of carved decorations, I decided to keep the round holes, as the below picture.
I will not glue the carving yet
The port addition forced me to redo the stern lower cabin. I have to reduce the beds from king size to a small queen size. The fitting wasn't so good, but who will notice
.Took out the coach with cushions and added 2 tables.
Yes, I know, now I need to see if I can do a few tiny sitting bench.
Why I am complicating my life ?
Then added, beside the circular staircase one of the deck beans. To check the stair position/high. Looks like will need some sanding to lower the first step. But it isn't bad.... I am happy.
The first picture below shows the deck bean over the othe one that will be the roof of the cabin.
Ok... enough for tonight.
Cheers
Daniel

Excellent update, Daniel!! The table and bench look very good. This makes our hobby interesting when we make the parts by ourselves.
Looking great!Thank you Heinrich!!

Thank you Dean62. !! And thank you all for the likes and comments. Keeps my enthusiasm and energy to move on.
For those with the skills to build tiny things, like @Thomas Marocke , this ship is great.
Best !!
Daniel
Pretty fancy Daniel! You're doing a great job on the details! It's exciting to see a plan come together (or maybe its: to see it come together without a plan!).

W.AS IST HIR BESONDERES ??????
Hi Daniel!
You embarrass me with your praise! I do not succeed every component on the first try and before most construction phases is always the question of how do I build it easy or even difficult.
As in your construction I am always happy when a wall, a bed or a staircase have succeeded and walk in the spirit through the advancrd model!
You also dare strong enlargements in the photos on which small joints are visible or one sees the pores of the wood. Not everyone dares to do that. The Pegasus will be a great model and we build for no museum but for our pleasure, which we both have!
Continued success and fun with modeling!

Hi Ivan
Thank you for stopping by.
You wrote (Google translator) : WHAT'S SPECIAL TO YOU ?
Do you meant "What is special on this ship for me ? "
Answer : All is special on this ship, as I never built something like this ship and every small thing I do is a big step for me. It is a huge challenge to me.
Thank you !!
Daniel
Thank you Thomas, I really appreciate your comments. Every time I sit at the workbench I try to push my boundaries.
My wife says the same about the pictures
Cheers and thank you for stopping by.
You are a true gentleman, Daniel. By choosing to correct Ivan's spelling the way you did you gave him the benefit of the doubt regarding his meaning. The world could use more people of your kind. Bravo!
Thank you !!!!
With all these comments I can't fail you guys and continue trying to do it better.
After this cabin comes the Big Challenge of the main passenger cabin. It will be a lot of fun and work
Cheers
Daniel

Der ganze Text ist fehlerhaft geschrieben aber trotzdem haben sie es sehr gut verstanden, der Gentleman hat es beantwortet, er soll sich lieber auf andere Dinge konzentrieren als meinen Text zu korrigieren.

Hi Daniel, A truly wonderful build and an interesting and comprehensive log, it’s given me hours of pleasure going through it. I think that you’re giving your all and a bit more, your heart is obviously in it. Thank you for showing us this.Now the passengers have some benches to seat, enjoy a meal or have a nice chat.

Moreover, to avoid issues a handrail was added to the stair
