  1. I have shaped the rudder tiller and did the tiller tackles. The end of the rope will end on the rudder tiller as well, this is just temporary fastening on the cleat as I'm not sure about the colour of the tackle. This thread is supplied with the kit. The quality is fine but I'm not a fan of that white and glossy colour. I'm thinking of replacing it by my own thread with matt tan colour.

  2. Instalation of the rudder braces to the hull. It took me while to figure out how to position it properly. At the end I clamped the plank to the keel which protrude to the stern and fix the rudder to the position. Once I was happy with the position of the brace I marked the position with the tape. Remove the rudder and glue the brace. IMG_20190902_081414.thumb.jpg.7c769e14fd5ac70f21cb36f596219e1e.jpgIMG_20190902_141117.thumb.jpg.c000c4bca472b733eaf710766f81dc6a.jpgIMG_20190902_141133.thumb.jpg.8d7e4a6f9de430338fcfd6728bb45a10.jpg

  3. Next deck details....... Two last hatches, flagpole planks and sail boom pad. 

    I have also started with fastening of the blocks in the eyes where hook is not used. It would be really tricky to do this on the ship so I decided to remove the eye, Fast the Block outside and put it back. Will do this for all eyes which holds block this way.

  4. Back in the workshop with some small progress. 

    I have added another pair of the secure rings @DPK's advice. Thanks again. I have finish few final touches on the windlass and secured it on the deck.

    I have experimented with the belaying pins. Luckily There are few spare so I could blacken one to se how it looks on the ship. Still not sure what I will use, if clean brass or black (leaning little bit more for black version). Here is the comparison. What do you think??

    Thank you very much for pointing at these holes. Yes, they were previously designed for holding the anchor cable, but currently they are not used.

    I think the best decision is to make the wooden plugs from the remains of the deck holding plate and shut these holes down.

    Obviously you can use them as intended, but you will have to count the eyebols first - maybe you should make your own,

    I cannot say now, there are different versions of photo etched plates, some of them contain spare eyebolts, some have just what needed.

     

    Btw, the kit is out for about 8 months now, but noone has pointed us at this yet!

    Thanks man, that is what I thought. Similar case would be with inner bulwarks planking.

    @DPK @greenstone can I ask you guys for advice? There are two pre-drilled holes in the deck forward to the bow from the bell in the same line with other rings for securing the cable. I guess There should be another pair of rings? But it is not in instructions so I do not know if I can use 2 more photo etched parts #18 (are there some spare or the count is exactly for the model?) or should I produce my own? Thanks a lot!

  7. Ohh god, I feel so bad now (I scrolled Down this thread) and see the stage where I stopped. But I really needed rest from rigging. Unfortunately/fortunately AVOS cought me so deeply that I can't go back to RC right now

    BUT I PROMISE I'm GOING TO FINISH THIS PROJECT!! please Just be patient. 

    Thanks to all followers and all who likes what I am doing. 

    In case you would like to see the ship I'm working on right now..... 

     

    It is a lovely kit. So much fun building it!

    Very good. Assemble the model very quickly!

    But why is bell black?

    Thank you Greenstone. 

    It is my personal choice.I found it distracting leave it in brass when all other irons are black. I do not like colourfull models so that is the reason. Not sure what I do with belaying pins🤔
