Then I have made other sails.

Hi to everyone!
Many thanks, Carl, Nils, Patrick for yours feedbacks!
My work with this project goes very slowly, but there is some progress after all.
So, at first I have established the main sail.
 

I just have no words, Patrick!
Only admiration! Excellent work!

Amazing Igor, the sail is a work of art all in itself.

Many thanks, Michael!
Here is next small update

Many thanks for sharing, Nils!
Great photos!

Then I began to make the mast elements

Many thanks Patrick and Steve!
Patrick, I hope to start making the mast and the rigging in the coming weekend.

Yesterday I continued to make the tiller

Next small update
 

The next stage is the manufacture of the windlass.

Then I glued round portholes and made one of the skylights

 

Hello to all!
Thanks for the support, friends!
So, on the last weekend I continued to work with this project.
At first I finished the planking of the main house deck.

Just incredible work, Michael!

Yesterday's little update

I`m still looking for a suitable set of steering wheels in scale 1:144......

 

that was just what I was looking for, but unfortunately the North Star etched wheels are are too small in scale ( 1:700 , 1:350) but many thanks for your input on this....

Today I found and ordered some etched wheels in the scale required and after a few days search

 

Hi Nils!
As usual, I just do not find the words ... Your work is incredible!
What diameter should the steering wheels have for your model?

Best Regards!
Igor.

Hi Jeff!
My sincere condolences to you and your family...
And good luck in the continuation of your project!
Be careful in combining CA and white glue - they do not always work well in close contact.
Igor.

Many thanks, Michael!
During the last weekend I continued to make tambours.

I continue to build one of the entrance tambours

At this stage my vacation is over. Now the pace of work will slow down significantly

Now it was possible to try to make the entrance tambour

Next, I cut through the deck in the places of the entrance tambours and lined the walls of the holes with planks. I do not know for sure whether there will be open doors in the entrance tambours, but, just in case, decided to refine these holes in the deck

Then I glued the steering plate. I was thinking of making imitations of fastening loops, but they are built-in on this boat and are unlikely to be visible under water.

Then I increased the keel in the stern part of the hull
