Waiting for Godot ...
Since the geometry of the boats is highly complex, the printer has to run at the highest resolution, and that takes time ...
That's why I used the time in between to finish a few other things, or rather to give them a final polish.
All the bitts on the upper deck have now been joined by the bitts on the upper battery deck, which hold all the halyards of the main mast. Big strong things with nice rollers in the base.
Here with the swifel pump in between.
You can already admire them in the open heart of my Vic.
The matching deck beam supports. Cheaper by the dozen. A bit of drybrushing here too to modulate the shape.
Plus the small kit of the riding bitts and what you can be done with it.
And I would like to take this opportunity to out myself again: As much as I like and need high-quality tools, but often nothing beats the basics!

- A sheet of sandpaper on the table and you can make smooth and even strokes when sanding
- Sandpaper stuck to wooden sticks using double-sided tape allows sanding tools to be cut to the exact width of the workpiece using the width of the sticks. Some of the sticks shown here are exactly the width of the gunports of my Constitution.
- Right-angled blocks facilitate sanding at a 90° angle.
And when the paper is blunt, a new one is put on.
And here is the guessing game of what else I have prepared
Best regards, Daniel
