Thank you so much for the quick reply, the excellent pictures and description!
I turned some bolts on a metal lathe for my rudder pintals on Serapis, but they took forever! Your steps seem much easier (a bag of nails in an hour) make mass production possible! I will be giving this a shot as my build progresses.
Wow,wiw,wow…fantastic
Hi,
Making barrels, a few of them...

Hi, I have a question....
How barrels were secured on the ships? I've googled for a few days with no avail. Here is what i made so far:

I believe the ships carpenter may have cut a supply of wedges/chocks that the sailors hammered into place to stabilize the barrels. See photo below:
Your idea of the ships ballast being used to chock or secure the barrels may have also worked well!
The way you built the barrels, without the internal frame provided by the manufacturer, is amazing!!! Mine have the framework provided, inside each barrel.

Hi Brad,
Wedges will work fine in wine cellar without additional support. I'm thinking sailors would have to strap any cargo including barrels with ropes or net to prevent dislocation during rough sea.
I only made a few barrels without supplied internal framing. I'm thinking to have couple open barrels with the lid beside "freestanding" on the deck above...

I love this idea of open an open barrel, maybe one with a ladle for water (or rum ration)?
Take a look at Karls alias @Jeronimo cross section
There were the Ballst stones at the bottom and between the barrels they filled the gaps with fire-wood

Take also a look at this topic with contemporary drawings of stowage

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to clarify that I didn't leave this kit. The year 2024 has been quite hectic for me due to some personal issues and complicated projects at work. Fortunately, everything is okay now, and I’m hopeful for a better 2025.
I wish everyone good health, happiness, and all the best in the New 2025 Year!
Now, let's move on to the next step on how I made the pumps, which involved mixing parts from the kit along with a few components built from scratch.
Best,
Yuri

I can't wait to see them installed.
Have you been feeding your sailors, he looks a bit pale!

Those pumps are amazing! The additional detail and metal accents really bring them to a different level!!! Your attention to detail is superb and your photos to document the great work is awesome, even if your little guy is a little pale

Thanks for sharing.
!Thanks for sharing.
Very neat, the detailing is gorgeous! Nailing is a separate art in itself!
I decided not to use the mast from the kit because I was not satisfied with the quality of the wood and its light, almost white colour. Instead, I assembled six square planks and two flat planks to create what I believe is a better mast design. Here is what it looks like.

Thank you all for your support! It has been over a year since I started working on this kit, and I have learned so much about shipbuilding. I'm trying to understand the "logic" behind ship construction rather than just following the kit instructions. I truly enjoy the process, so please bear with me regarding my slow progress if you are following my posts. I never realized the wide range of skills required for modelling—it's something I hadn't considered before I built my first longboat model, and now this one.
