Thank-you Popeye and ScottRC! Hope to have another update before too long, but those plans don't always go as intended!

you continue to amaze Sherry.........those stairways are awesome I had to look back to see if I missed anything else..........such wonderful work! I have to agree with the others........I fail to see what the problem is with the beak head........the entire bow section looks great! sadly, I'm no expert on these era of vessels........but it is good to see you back at the table again

Thank-you Frank!
Well, I have another update. I've been working on the rudder with its pintles and gudgeons.
I used copper plate and cut it into strips which I formed on a 'dummy' rudder. Soldering was tricky for me at this scale, but I managed. I still have to fine tune and add faux bolts.
I've also made and added the midship set of spiral stairs with railings, and belaying pins are in place here as well. There is one more set of spiral stairs fore, yet to be made.
Last, but not least, I made the beakhead rails and supports. I'm not totally happy with them and some adjustments may follow.....or a total redo, I just haven't decided yet.

The planking on the foredeck has been completed with the addition of the treenails (drill and fill method) and the finish applied. The belfrey and it's railing have also been completed. I left this mostly in natural finish to complement the similar railing on the quarterdeck. Here are a couple of views:
Now it's easy to see the alternating open decking areas fore/aft.
Next shall be the fabrication/installation of some head timbers and the catheads. The cats are quite large and require some 'surgery' to install so I'll be moving slowly ---- only get one shot at this. Cutting slots in the finished hull is not my forte.

Slowly progressing.
Some special knees half way down the hull
And the progress to date
The pump well I had made years ago got a bit beaten up in storage. As I also was not very happy with some of the dimension of the stock I used I decided to make a new one.
I made a jig to make accurate cuts for the dado's on the stanchions, it's hard to see but at the far side where the blade cuts is a thin strip of wood the width of the blade to mak each cut at the same distance.
The finished stanchions, the vertical dado's were milled.

Here are a few shots of the lanterns and other areas fore and aft, showing the fiber optics and yellow LEDs.
For now I have the wires attached to a 9 volt battery, but will be installing a proper switch box later.
