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.

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.

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.

Thank you very much guys.
Denis - the red frame in front of the stove is called riding bitts. Citation from the Peter Goodwin´s book The Construction and Fitting of English Man of War:
These large timbers acted as securing point for cables which held the ship while riding at anchor. And why is the stove so close to the riding bitts - I have no idea.
Some new parts - ladders.

Thank you very much, I am very happy that you like my build.
To Karl: The grid on the green mat (the white lines) is 1 cm. The screw heads are made form brass pins (see next picture), some part are etched, some parts are made with milling machine from brass sheet (different thickness).
So, the chemical blackening is done and the stove is now installed on the deck. I just regret that the stove will be almost impossible to see after deck planking..
