Final spurt for the 1920 slice.
 
Prepared the bolts for the irons.
 

 
Double-Twin-Spin-Technology, first the diameter and then the hight of the head.
 

 
Then toothpicked the wrong holes of the deadeyes ...
 

 
... fixed, marked, center punched and drilled ...
 

 
... and grooved.
 

 
Tried different window settings.
 

 
Got the irons, tinkered on and finally ...
 

 
... got it done 🙂
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Still have to smoothen a lot to be prepared for color.
 
And here the update of the nice comparison: Just a mere 100 years apart 🙂

And then was time for some dafinition of the details.
 
Next was to put some primer to see the new rigols.
 

 
Both guns and first window - still has to be improved ...
 

 
Also the cases for the hammocks were redone.

You gave the answer to your last question "... or what?" already one line up 😉

Thank you all, very appreciated all your great input!

Thank you Druxey. Also he simply did not bother about the facts, just see the "Fighting Temeraire" on her last journey, masts still up. 
 
But anywhere we had a great discussion on our german forum about his work concerning the Vic. Highly interesting. Those who are inscribed to our forum see here:

All figures are Preiser 1:100. See in earlier posts how they were made :-)
 
Somehow Fast-Food-Tinkering does not work for me somehow.
 
I already started planking the outside with poly but could not find a pattern for the width of the planks - Frustration taking over ...
 
Then I realised that as I cutted the ports "free hand - first sight" was the problem, as the planks are following - unlike the 1765 original planking - exactely the row of the ports. So considered a second (or even more look) to get things straight and realised taht all planks have more or less same width. So I took the illustrtion programm and started to push the measures until it fitted the photographs and suddenly it all worked out. 21 cm planks it was what I needed and some correction on the ports.
 

 
Also Business as usual - removing the first trial of planks :-)
 

 
New planks were cut ...
 

 
... ports newly defined ...
 

 
... cleared with plenty of blood, sweat and tears ...
 

 
.... and cut free.
 
Just see on the inside of the ports the difference to the first fit :-O
 

 
Fixed the first goodies, soon more about that :-)
 

 
And here we go, twice the same section of hull, just a bit more than 100 years of difference.

Very enjoyable build, love it,
 
cheers, Daniel, also master of rebuilds ;-)

And my 1920 slice is moving towards the finishing line.
 

 

 

 

 
And some small comparison, the look of 1765
 

 
Look of 1805
 

 
Look of 1920
 

 

 

 
And some details

Final spurt for the 1920 slice.
 
Prepared the bolts for the irons.
 

 
Double-Twin-Spin-Technology, first the diameter and then the hight of the head.
 

 
Then toothpicked the wrong holes of the deadeyes ...
 

 
... fixed, marked, center punched and drilled ...
 

 
... and grooved.
 

 
Tried different window settings.
 

 
Got the irons, tinkered on and finally ...
 

 
... got it done 🙂
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Still have to smoothen a lot to be prepared for color.
 
And here the update of the nice comparison: Just a mere 100 years apart 🙂

All the ready made ones have far too big nails - some could be called rivets or even bolts ;-) - 
 
- and most of them are to thick too.
 
The best in my opinion so far is the self adhesive copper foil combined with some imprinted nails.
 
I used a small tool based on my wife´s derma roller - please do not tell her, she still is looking for it :-)
 
A german friend used the foil for a larger scale with a self made stamp, the kind o that is often described in the literature.

Not 1920 but a lot earlier, but quite nice as a picture
Me thinks ...

Found some time to tinker a bit on that exotic gem 🙂
 
Got a signal gun - one of 6 on the ship for salutes - and one historical barrel. The rest will be windows. The gun is a self made brass one made in my Dremel to give it a slightly conical shape. Also the chainboards with the accurate number and position for the irons is there together with the small port that gives access to the shrouds.
