Thanks everyone for the responses and watching in answer to your question: I first blacken the barrels with a brunning liquid. And then I dip them for a moment in a so-called gunblue liquid, which gives them a specific colour, then very briefly lightly polish and done. So we are moving on a bit, have started rigging the 9 pounders, below a few pictures

Everyone thanks for the thumbs up and Iooking It is appreciated, A bit further on, I have planked the upper deck, there is a slight difference in colour compared to the lower deck, but that will change in the course of time, as I have used the same materials and techniques, it has only been 10 years since I made the underlying deck. I have also made a start with the connecting railing to the foredeck, for this I did not use the supplied walnut but made one myself from beech, as I found the walnut a little too coarse in structure, The photos below explains it all.
-
Everyone thanks for the thumbs up and looking A little bit further on the foreship, made the deck grid, and the so called forecastle snatch cleats. Now the attributes that will be placed on the foredeck are more or less ready. So that I can now begin to manufacture the rigging for the gunwale, I have milled the rope myself on a rope making machine. Is all still in the test phase but gives an idea.

Well after a 3 week vacation at customs, I finally received my serving machine, package came in good order without missing or defective parts and components, the assembly is quite simple and was also done fairly quickly. I had bought the so-called endless version, but I did not like the attachments that came with it, so I removed them. During testing I came up with the idea to modify the so-called endless rope fittings, and make an attachment of it to make winding a bit easier, and so after some soldering and sanding and grinding the result is satisfactory and I am extremely satisfied with the result. (It’s still testing but gives a impression) See the pictures below for an explanation In between I also worked on the attributes on the fore deck.

Thanks for the reactions Then I think we found the same drawing, indeed I also found a drawing of the Ardent. The models I found on the internet are models built from a kit as I can judge. and we go just a bit further. Got the deck in place for the foreship and then planked it. There is a difference in colour, but this will be the same in the end, I laid the first deck 10 years ago. I made the railing and adjusted it a bit as I thought the one supplied with the kit was rather stiff and coarse. Below some pictures explain more than words. (Everything is still standing loose)

Hi Allan according to my build instructions and plans that comes with the kit, they should be there, also most models I found pictures from on the internet have them, but I also found a few “original plans” on the internet without the side stops only top and bottom. So that’s a bit of a bummer, but decided to leave it as it is for now, made a study for my self, need to break things, that most likely never gone be nice again. so I have to live with that but anyway thanks for pointing me out, appreciate it. thanks Boris

Thank you all for your feedback and watching, @yvesvidal The guns are all still loose, I am waiting for my serving machine that I ordered , so I can rig them further, some of them I will rig further, the rest which will be under the deck and therefore not visible I will not rig further. -Blimbing ladders outside ship's hull- Given that I find the milled walnut plywood (splintering too) supplied with the kit ladders too coarse and not pretty. So I decided to make them again, which in my opinion seem more realistic than the supplied ones. The pictures below explain it all.

Thanks for the nice words and thumbs up. A bit further. Put the model outside in the warmth for a few hours (not in the sun) and the result the paint hardened nicely, so I could paint the gun ports on the inside and add a red trim to the trim. Plus repaired some minor damage. The result "we are back to square one". So can now start with the the stairs on the outside of the hull again, plus the necessary things,

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
