All cannons were mounted on the gun carriages and varnished. The next task will be rigging of the cannons.

The color looks much better in most of these photos - must be the lighting that creates the pink look.

I am pleased to hear that Yes, the lighting sometimes creates the pink look.

Mustafa, I've a uestion. On plan 4 they are mentioning the awning stanchions.... Do you know where I should install them?

Once again, I stand in awe. Your persistence is matched only by your patience.

Sorry for the late reply Marc. The awnings are not recommended on the model (plan mentions so). Awnings are apparetnly for the visitors during annual turnaround cruise. You don't have to add those stancions. They are suggested for maximum model detail.

Thx very much!
I will not install them.... It's confusing for me because mentioned on a plan for building a model....

I am attaching the breech ropes to the gun carriages. I'm almost half done. On the other hand, I'm producing rope, eyebolts and eyebolts with ring. That's why the progress is slow.

 

[mtbediz1]

I started fixing the gun carriages in place.

 

[Peter Gutterman]

You Make pretty fast "slow" progress. Watching this build come together has been, and continues to be, a treat!

 

[mtbediz1]

I completed fixing all the guns on the gun deck with the breech ropes The tackles of the gun carriages will wait for the other details of the gun deck to be finished, as the tackles will be attached to the eyebolts fixed to the knees of the spar deck beams.

Today I started building the ship stove. Since the stove was not included in the kit plans, I made the manufacturing drawing myself, using the photos on the internet.

The stove appeared with its outlines. Now I have details to add and eventually it will be painted black.

 

[mtbediz1]

Added some details to the ship stove.

Looking great Musyafa!

A lot has happened on your deck, great work on the gun carriages. The stove looks good too.
