A little touch up and she ready to rock 'n roll mate. You'll have her ship shape in no time

Hi Folks!
Thanks for all of your Likes and comments; all of which are greatly appreciated.
Well, something of a milestone occurred last night...I decided to take a break from working on the internal accommodation details and devoted some time to painting the external hull and superstructure. Nice, I thought, as I looked at Shadow with her new paint job; only to realise that she’ll need several more coats of paint (and sanding), before she looks really spiffy. Ah well, it’s a start, at least.
Enjoy the rest of your weekends!
Cheers.
Patrick

Thanks Hans, that is an excellent idea

If you want to make extra pieces of ornamentation you can take a medium thin thread (0,5 mm or so), make it stiff with some glue (white glue f.i.) and paint it afterwards in a gold or black or so. In this way you can add extra lines and so.

Piet, Patrick, Hans, and cog, thank you for your encouraging words. I can put a long post together of all the mistakes I have made, but this one is a "Big One".
If I am off by a few mm than I can adjust it but if it is more than 5 mm, and I try to adjust it, it won't look right and at the scale of 1-50 cm it gets out of whack fast.
The problem:
The bottom of the Stern windows need to match up with the side windows and they didn't. The bottom of the side windows compared to the bottom of the Stern windows are 5 mm to high. So I am leaving the side windows as is (instead of redoing that as well) and raising the area above the Stern windows by 5 mm. I don't want to widen the 45 degree area where the top of the rudder is. That looks weird (I tried that as well).
The carvings will be as is and where there are gaps, I will add filler pieces.
The carvings are going to be cherry. This wood carves nice. I am also keeping it simple. Non of the frilly stuff. I have broken many pieces by putting in too much detail and the piece I kept simple, looks good. All of these pieces will be painted Yellow Ochre.
Below is a piece that goes on the top of the Stern. Still needs to be sanded.

That hurts ... not the fact that you need to redo the stern, cut it and build it up again, we have all had that, but the resulting sad image of your frustration ... I wish you good luck with the work to be done.

Owh - this is such a sad picture. I can still see the sole print of your boot on it!

Hi Marcus
One word (if it's really a word) - Aaaaagh!!!!!
I'm sure everything's going to work out well in the long run, though.
All the best.
Cheers

Nils, nice rudder work. I’m constantly surprised how small the rudders are on some sailing ships.

Many thanks Denis and Patrick,
for your kind comments.....
Denis,
I`m pleased that the hull (in this status) finds your appreciation...
Patrick,
I`ve just been taking the rudder-width off the (enlarged) Amati Plan. These ship types must have had a good and sensitive respond to the rudder. Trust that the sail- and hull proportions provided her a well balanced lateral behaviour, so that the rudder need`nt be unnecessary wide. This is amazing, as approximately only 1/3 of the vertical ruder length is submerged (waterline)

Hi Nils
Beautiful work, as always. I'm kinda struck, however, as to how 'slim' the rudder looks for the size of the ship. Which begs the question as to how easily these hulls responded to rudder movement.
Just curious.
Cheers
