I completed the rigging of the guns under the forcastle deck and started the forecastle deck framing.

This is a very nice and detailed build. I really appreciate your showing the method of creating the pieces not just the finished piece. This helps new modelers, like myself, learn how to make scratch pieces.

I completed the forcastle deck frames and made some furnitures for the captain's cabin.
