Lookin' really good, Nigel ... and she's only going to look even better once you've decked her out with the red sails.

Hi All,
Thanks for kind comment Hamilton and to all, my thanks for the "likes".
Well, as a break from stabbing my finger with a sewing needle as I try to make some sails, last night I finished off the ships boat. I made a small sail and then lashed the mast/spar I made earlier to it. I also lashed the oars together and finally tied the boat down to the deck support using some eyebolts and Syren hooks, rope and boxwood cleats. Hope you like the deep red color I chose for the sails.
Now back to sewing practice.....
Cheers,
Nigel.

For the deck planking, I used planks with 9cm lenght following the rule of 3 (repeat patern every 3 planks)
before staring gluing the deck planks, I have drawn the patern on deck, to decide which rule looks better (3 or 4)
and some treenailing using bamboo toothsticks

I want to put some led lights in this kit, so I will try to bash it a bit.
First I will leave the doors open, so I have to make the cabins look more realistic. I cut some parts from the hull sections
stern view
bow
stern cabin
main deck
Captain's quarters, windows will be real so you can take a look inside cabin, hopefully I will make some furnitures

Small update...started to plumb the sub-assemblies, before I did that I practiced with Blacken-it and got the elbows done, you can see there is not much difference in them and the parts I painted, so the finishes will be a combination of the two.
A lot of the steam and water lines are supposed to terminate at the deck, to simulate running under the deck boards. I kinda thought if the lines ran under the deck there should be holes for them to enter and exit and they would be a bit larger then the pipes themselves...so I proceeded to trial fit all the subs and mark where the lines should be, drilled the holes and painted the insides black.
All the plumbing was left longer than required so the pipes disappear into the holes...
That's it for now, thanks for all the likes and the time and attention, Pic's follow:
Paint and Blacken-it, pretty close in color
scale plumbing
plumbing the boiler...note the extra length
hot box and condenser
plumbed
holes in the deck
This is the hot box test fit, you can see how the pipes will disappear "under" the deck boards
