Long time since I posted something... I have been quite busy with the standing rigging. I worked on the shrouds, jiboom, Dead-eyes, horse. I also attached the cleats to the shrouds. Once the shrouds are attached I will give them another coat of paint. I started on the back stay as well.

Worked and finished the rope coil for the cannons. Decided to not make them even for a more realistic look.

Completed the canons. I originally planned to get the ones from the syren company but ... budget budget. At the end, I am pretty happy with the result reached with the one from the kit.

First metal work. I decided to upgrade the galley stack. Question: I notice that the 'brass black' does not stain as much the solder joint. Any suggestions?

Small Update. I used the Elm tree pump from the Syren Company instead of following the directions from the kit. They turned out nicely.

I finished the second layer planking of the hull. I applied one coat of natural stain. It is by far not a perfect planking job. I guess practice will make perfect. One side is better than the other. The next step is to touch up the yellow ocre and the black here and there. The final step of this hull will be one or two coat of poly.
