Hi folks😊

 

The syren is coming a long now, the hull /copper plates are now looking old and used 

may needs some repers soon on the slip,  LOL

I did also finish the conpanionway construction 

left the dor out for now so I dont damige it. Everything is not glue to the dekk yet.

Your deck fittings look great! They always are a lot of fun. Where the cannon balls are concerned I also had the feeling that the kit provided ones are a bit on the small side and went with 'larger calibers'.

Some more work has been dunn to the hull,

but am looking at the headrails constructing and there are no laser carving 😲 

These are small and made in basswood, its going to be hell on eaght to carve without nothing to go on,

I took one out and make a pensel mark insted to see how it looks,  wel.... I do Not now....

maby I have to make these in boxvood?

Looking great Svein,

There is one thing I want to mention. The copper hull looks great but the ageing process ssems to be going pretty quick. Don't forget it will keep going. I treated one sample pretty aggressively and the copper is peeling by now. So at the stage when you are happy the way it looks you may want to seal the hull to stabelise the way it looks. I hope that makes sense.

Cheers, Peter

Thanks for the liks, 

 

Finish the rudder and the Tiller (its not glued on yet )

but I did a horrible mistake on gluing the gudgeons to the hull and it cant be re dunn😲

Not without ripping of copper plates. ...

I used wrong glue CA , so am not doing that the nex time 🙈🙈🙈, and also do Not build when you have the man flu .😷I did try ,now you can see how that went 🙊

 

but a question , Wats the best way to glue the gudgeons to the hull ?
