Those windows are fantastic Nigel. I can imagine your needing a rest after doing them.

A little bit of a update More progress on treenailing.I then took a little break to concentrate on a job that needs doing before I can complete the framing of the stern.The lower set of windows need completing as access will be greatly restricted when the upper stern section is in place as this overhangs these windows.
After the outer framework was installed,mica was used to glaze these from behind.The framing is in 0.8mm square boxwood.The mullions have been added in one piece.The transoms are being fitted in sections.Everything is being glued in place with PVA.The plan is to fill the panes with matt polyurethane as before.This should also fix everything in place and allow me to lightly sand the face of the framework flush with the aid of a custom made sanding stick.
Now having a break as my eyes and head is spinning cutting 2mm long pices of strip and gluing them in position

Thank you Nigel The windows actually form part of a fan whose centre is somewhere miles above the model.The dimensions were taken from the plan,at least an average was obtained as there were minute discrepancies comparing each window on the drawing.This gave me the shape.The internal framework is purely by eye.It is easiest to fit the central bars and then visually split the remaining sections in half when fitting the other pieces.Had there been an even number of bars,it would have been interesting

Hi Nigel,
Truly impressive work. The window components look completely vertical and horizontal across the curved transom.
Are you measuring this off, using a jig perhaps or working more by eye, especially when you glue in the horizontals?
Finally, the treenails look really great. I especially like the contrast against the ebony.
Cheers,
Nigel.

To get an idea of the proportions, the one you see in the picture at the top is the tip of 0.4 mm with which I performed the holes

I went a bit 'on with the work; I prepared all the beams of the bridge and its armrests. I also placed the hatches of the lower deck
the gunwale

I also started the body of the bilge pumps

These days I proceeded to finish outside of the model: I have given two coats of sealer and, after finely sanded, two coats of paint opaque transparent finish. All spray with airbrush.

My method to build the windows: with a card I found the exact shape of the window in which will fit the frame glass.
Around this template card I made a counter-frame that I need to assemble the window:
