Pink pear
Love your work and photos!
Your solution for crating was just what I came up with. I've shipped 3 models from Scotland to Hawaii to Bahrain to California to Colorado. Each has its own crate and I used yarn wrapped around strategic areas, passing through holes in the bottom of the crate. I did not attach anything to the masts like you did, as I was afraid of torque or flex in the crate.

I am also working on the Bonhomme Richard. I am using your photos as one of my references. Is the pink pear from the ZHL kit?
would be great to see more of your build - looking very good and it would be of interest to see your work
No, I had a cherry version which is lighter in color. Pink pear was from my stash

Beautiful work Oleg! what type of oil finish did you use on the deck and planking to bring out the wood grain?This was just some typos that I corrected almost right awayI meant
"after oil I covered the hull with bitumen varnish"
Лак битумный, 100 мл купить в интернет магазине

I realised now that maybe I should've better used "bituminous" rather than "bitumen"
