Just one impressive boat you have going there. I'd love to be shrunk down and take her out on the lake.

Hello,
I am always happy to have you here.Thanks for the nice comments.
Likewise, of course, I am delighted with the many LIKES.
The two cutter have received all thwarts.

Back at it. I finished the treenails on the inboard bulwark planking. There were about 350 of them. I used bamboo toothpicks and I think they turned out OK - visible but not overpowering. Next comes the deck planking, I was able to find some acrylic paint that exactly matches the color of the red heart bulwark planking once it's finished with poly. Once the scuppers are cut on the inboard side, I'll paint the scuppers, sweep ports and inside of the gun ports and then seal them with some poly.

Nice stairs. I wonder what will be upstairs. Maybe a bar? In my younger years I went to a bar called Stairs on saturdays. Lots of hard urned money spend there.

thanks Patrick and Jack. I had a few ideas about them........if I had enough brass rod, I could have simply made the frames, and made up some 'canvas' sides to cover them. the treads were what made me go with this. here, I could make the tread frames, and add the treads later. since this will be cemented to the upper deck, making it removable as well, the top will lock into the bulwarks {I could have negated planking them}. I could also leave it as a separate piece.......putting it in place after the upper deck is back in place. the bottom flat is done this way, merely to make it sit better, when in place.
now to figure out how to best assemble it

Hey Denis
Nice job on the stairs...now, if I could just guess what the flat bit is for....
Cheers

started working on the stairway to the upper deck. it begins as two pieces of 1/32 flat stock....the upper threshold is drawn out.
and with the rest of the sides drawn out.....
this is when I realized that making two starboard sides wasn't going to end well..........so I changed one of them to be the port side. the tread lines are drawn in
for the frame work I'm using 1/16 strip stock to outline the drawings. this is the last of the crappy, that I got in one of my kits........you wouldn't believe how bad the wood was. rough cut, not exact to size.......I'll be picky what I use, but following the lines, I can make allowances here and there.
going further, the tread frames were added
.......and then the excess was cut off. I was going to use the scroll saw, but I ended doing it by hand with a razor {my trusty case cutter}
once sanded and cleaned up a bit, a dry fit was done to see how they fit the upper deck and the main deck.

Stunning work, Johann. I can't believe all the detail you have packed into these small boats.

In the molds I created earlier I laminated a new shiphull. 300 grams of polyester and 450-grams glasfiber. It went oke but unfortunately there is a little damage. Luckily I was able to fix this and now I have a nice light weight hull. Now there are to more hulls to laminate so I can go on building
