Excellent work, I really like the green. Very good idea with the device for sawing the waterway. All in all it looks fantastic again.

I have started planking the spar deck bulwark and adding the pin racks and other detail. I drilled 0,6 mm diameter holes into the planks to represent the bolts and was happy with the result.
For the bolts, I didn't feel the need to struggle for a more realistic look at this scale.

In the bow section, I have almost completed the interior planking of the bulwarks and the accessories on the bulwarks. I first assembled the cleats and steps made from scratch onto the planks, then glued these planks into place.

I started the main rail. I'm making the curved rail in the bow section differently this time. In my previous models, I did it by cutting, but this time I am making it with a different method. I cut three 2x4 mm of baswood strips according to the size and kept them in hot water for 15 minutes. Then, I clamped the strips into the mold I prepared before and waited for it to dry. Then, I applied PVA glue between the strips and clamped again to the mold, waited for the glue to dry, and removed it from the mold.

The main rails at the front of the ship have been completed. (It is worth reminding again. Since I am making a model of the ship's current state, the rail system and buwarks are different from the ship's MS kit).
Breast knee and pin rail were fabricated but not installed yet. At this point I have a question to my friends. In the internet images of the ship, the main stays appear to be connected to the breast knee via bullseyes, but the images are not clear and the details are not visible.
My question is; How are bullseyes attached to the breast knee? If anyone has an image that clearly shows this detail and can share it here, I would be grateful.
