Temporary fitting of guns on the places

It would seem, install guns while there are no decks and live quietly!
Even gun waists can be established without hindrances;
but actually it is not the best exit.
Guns will constantly stir during building a model
And how to adjust covers of ports with the sticking-out trunks?
Is not present!
It is better to install guns via hatches in decks by means of the tows stretched outside of gun port at the last minute.
The tow is a flexible medical catheter with a hook on the end.
Tightened the gun to port, it was hooked for it outside and put it on the special pin established in advance when there is no deck yet. On a glue droplet.

A part of my soul in this model...

Casket for memory

International Congress in Saint-Petersburg 2017.

I was a participant with report about French shipwright Pangalo on Russian service

Glad to be useful!

Pear-wood

And what kind of showcase have you for your models?

Anybody tried to do like me?

I am sure, that a "block tumbler" will "kill" the cleats and even the blocks!

Be not such lazy!
All these details need to be made only manually and with love!
It is better to spend couple of excess days, than then to be ashamed of the minute weakness...

The showcase for la Legère made by my another friend Yiury Calmikoff from  Minsk (Belarus)

Hello, Paul!

 It is rather simple woodcarving.

For example, my friend Sergey Kuzmin can do more complicated carving...

Maybe later...

During new exhebition?

Pieter!

I was in your Bretagne in 2012.

I took part in Maritime festival in Brest with this model!

My friend Pierre Grandvilliers invited me!

We could meet each other?

Excuse for foppery, but the anchor is made of silver

The wales are made of Kumyier (Manilkara Celebica)

And that tight turn under the counter was made as on the photos (look first page)
