G'day Uwe, yes at the moment I am working on the Royal Caroline, but I might just swing back and do a little bit on the cross sections,
best regards John,
Happy birthday John, enjoy it.

Thank you guys for the Birthday wishes, much appreciated, I had a great day,
Best regards John,
Uwe made this comment on Oldpaperones Bonne Homme Richard cross section,
hmmmm .... I have to go back also to my section......
And I thought the same I had to do some more on my twins as Jimsky Uwe calls them, so I have started
doing a little bit more as a bit of a break from the Royal William,
This is how they are at the moment,
This is the No 1 deck, i just had to drill the holes for the gun tackles in the bulwarks, which you can just see, and
also I drilled and attached the eye bolts and rings, just a little bit of planking to go on both ends of this deck
and also the bitts,
close up of the ring bolts, they just need a final squeeze together,
attaching the top deck beams,
and a close up,
best regards John,

fantastic work
thats the top deck on, still needs sanding etc,
another angle,
and both the top decks attached, I'm going to try and do all the internal work before going to the outside area's,
.
Hi John, actually I still don't know why you build two? 
Dear John

Thank you very much for the nice comments and all the likes,
best regards john,

G'day Maarten, I bought two as I got them at a real good price on Aliexpress, and I also have two grandsons, Marcus and Marty, and I thought they would make for a nice present when finished,
best regards John,
I managed to do a bit more and fixed the support knee's under the top deck, just have to paint them yet,
and a close up view,
I also cut and attached the gangways to both models, the steps are not yet glued, still need a bit of sanding,
so the present state of both sections,
and the pin rails for the base of the masts, still a lots of cleaning up to be done,
.
I love it.....
These are the parts supplied in the kit for the belfry rails, they are laser etched cherry wood,
I bought the upgrade and these are CNC carved Pear wood, with the upgrade you also get the top and bottom
rails for the stanchions to go through, in the kit you have to glue the laser etched front to the stanchions,
so the two darker pieces are the Cherry Wood laser etched pieces from the kit and the two lighter
pieces are the carved Pear Wood pieces from the upgrade,
A closer look, X is the carved Pear Wood, Y is the carved Cherry Wood and the one in the middle is the Laser
etched one from the kit,
Just assembled not yet glued, working out the shape to fit the deck camber etc,
.
A big difference in the ornament parts - from distance the laser is looking good, but the cnc carved are much better.
Dry assembled is the laser one, or?
