    Hello dear friends, thank you all very much for your kind words,praise and comments, that is a great honour for me and i do appreciate your support a lot. Yesterday I finished ladders on shrouds, this is always so boring work for me, but this time I have decided to do it in the beginning....

    I have also started making own wooden blocks, so far only larger sizes, the smaller ones I will probably use from a CNC machine. And now I am going to make them such way from this wreck pattern: So enjoy the pics from progress and have a great Christmas time. Kind regards, Doris

    And also the wooden belaying pins are my own handmade product, but I have also a handy helper to do that....😄

    Handmade deadeyes for mainstay and forestay... All these elements are made using only basic tools. The ropes are painted with suitable paint and impregnated by flat clear coat ( Tamiya TS-80). The mainstay thickness is about 2,4mm.

    I prepared ropes for shrouds using my basic ropewalk from Amati:

    And finally I have started with rigging.... Mast tackles:

    The gun carriages made of card were added to all gun ports. Finally I have also improved the frames of gunports to achieve more realistic result.

    The screen of the seat of ease on the main channel - made according to original paintings from that period:

    And here you can see the displacement of main mast and mizzenmast:

    It was important to make the necessary changes to make the model more realistic. I noticed, that some elements in the previous work I did wrong, unfortunately the absence of accurate and, above all, quality plans is a hell ... The changes concerned the displacement of masts and remodeling quarter galleries to achieve better symmetry.

    Channels and other fitting - here I mainly use wood to achieve high solidity.

    And here you can see some pics from creating the wooden capstan - all is handmade using only basic tools:

    Making the largest flag on the model - I used a fine red fabric on which I painted white rectangles. Finished flag was oversprayed with flat coat to achieve unchangeable shape.

    The lanterns on the stern were made of cardboard and thick foils, included plenty of hand made ornaments from modeling clay/I use Czech product Modelit/Modurit for all decorations on my the model. I have decided to create a different shape of lanterns ( in comparison with Vale´s painting). I have found inspiration in Sailmaker painting of The Royal Katherine and other similar ships from that period. Sailmaker painting of the Royal Katherine:

    Wooden catheads with detailed decoration:
  18. DORIS
    The decorative railings to the staircase platforms was set into wooden frames and moved to the model: And finally there were made staircases with rounded steps:
  19. DORIS
    The work continued on the decoration of the bulkheads again, which I made according to original models from that period.

    Hello dear friends, first I must apologize I was not here for a long time and didn't let you know about the progress. I have only little free time for hobbies and try to continue on Czech forum at least. I am sorry that I am not able to answer all your questions - mainly duplicate questions, that were answered and explained in detail many times - I cannot devote myself to it, otherwise I would not have any time for anything else. It is also quite difficult for me write in English language and use correct expressions. I do appreciate all your comments and strong support. Thank you all for this. I would like to bring some new pics from continuation, so make yourself comfortable and enjoy. I managed to remove the model from pedestals and paint the underwater part of the hull with protective white stuff. In that occasion there were raised "dolphins pedestals" using wooden base. The girdling almost disappeared, but you can still recognize a different method of laying the planks.

    Very good start, Jo, and do not worry, everything is possible to achieve. It is important "to want" and enjoy what we do. Keep it up.
