Very, very nice work, Johann. I like the techniques for milling the port lids. Metalwork is lovely.

Well, there is nothing to say I guess. It's just wonderful. And your craftsmanship. You're true blacksmith.. I'm enjoying to watch this build and this is a confess I'm a litte jealous :) 

 

Good luck with that! 

 

Cheers, Bugra. 

There is nothing that a little sanding can't solve.. Bugra.

Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.

 

Today I will show to the gun ports lids a special detail.
The lids in the area of ​​bugs are doubled for protection from the anchor with planks.

Hello friends,
lately I hardly have time for the model building.
Currently I'm still working on the gunports lids.

 

Meanwhile, a modeller colleague has created a video of the La Creole.

 

See here: LINK

 

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks all!

Meanwhile, all gunports lids were fitted into the ports.
Only the last pair is still to be finished. They are for the gun port in the bow on the port side.
This gun port is a special case, because of the rounding of the bow.
The fit of this cover halves at this place requires special attention.
This couple also receives a dropfront as a protection against the armature.
