First of all I would like thank you all for very very nice comments - I am very happy for that. And now the answer for Greg´s (dvm27) qustion: the wooden woolding hoops are made from very thin pear plank - dimesions are 0,4 x 1,0 mm. This plankmust be thoroughly moistened in water and then it can be carefully wrapped around the corresponding round rod. Both end of the planks are fixed and after drying (preferably overnight) you get a wooden spiral from which the individual rings are then cutted - see picture.
And now a few new photos - lower mast tops. It remains to add rail, deadeyes and blocks - it will be made after coloring.

Thank you guys, the answer to the jdbondy question: See the picture in my post dated 4 August. There is an aid tool which I use to make networks. After thread stretching is important thoroughly to overlap the netting with diluted PVA glue. After drying is possible to cut the netting into the required shape.
Work is now slower, thanks to my own stupidity, I often have to make some parts agani and again. Some pictures from lower mast production for today.

To Ilhan: Parts of hammock cranec are made from different messing tubes and profiles. Individual parts are then soldered together with silver soldering paste.
Installation of hammock nettings and swivel guns - the last part of the hull at this moment. Now I am going making the masts, tops, yards etc.

Carronades are completed and mounted on the deck. The quarter deck is starting to fill up nicely.

Thank you guys for all the likes and nice comments.
To Ondras71: You are not right, there are many other builders much better as me on this forum.
Swivel guns and carronades - it remains to make the carriages for carronades, the swivel guns are ready for the mounting (will be done later).

Sorry guys, due failure in MSW I was able to post only some pictures in the last post, no text. Now is all OK and I continue with installation of gangboards and ladders.

Thank you Allan.
So, when I was in brass work, I decided to finish the chimney. I had to combine soldering with tin and silver, which is an incredibly inappropriate combination. Here you can see the result.

Thank you to all for comments and likes.
To sailor 123456789: I have the same problem to understand this function. The chain pums and main jeer bitts are so close each other and there is no space for manipulation. Above that I made one small mistake, the main jeer bitts are positioned behind the deck beams (in plans are the main bitts under deck beam). Fortunately on the main jeer bitts end only two ropes.
To John Allen: It is secret. But whoever seeks, he finds it.
The last item on the main deck - brake pumps. They are installed temporarily now. Final fixation will be after deck planking.

Thank you to all for very nice comments and likes.
I prepared some parts to later installation on the main deck - main jeer bitts, main topsail sheet bitts and chain pumps. It remains colouring and blackening before installation.
