Ok finished my little boat oars made out of round tooth picks and basswood veneer left over from planking Used a couple of pins and made a cute little rope coil Made a wooden rudder and handle since the metal one was ugly Figured it should match the ship Hope it looks good to you guys sorry the pictures aren't great my iPhone 5c does not have the best camera

Ok Started working on the starboard davits and long boat Not leaving the boat white Mainly just wanted to get rid of the grey metal color built the inside out of wood to make it a little less heavy and more true to the ship I can tell you now that the emergency steering chain is proving to be a pain to attach My big old fingers don't work well with tiny chain links Oh well I've done harder things

Hey bob I don't know how you squeeze so much detail into such a small thin boat but I have to say that it is a beautiful little lady

Yes mark it's an infinite curve from where I sit it looks like a straight line up lol It may not be perfect but I've enjoyed this project

Ok sherry I have to be a critic on this one I do see several problems with your stairs and your railings one they are of the wrong color They should be walnut two they are the wrong scale and should be 1:85 third they should be on my ship which is made of walnut and 1:85 scale Actually sherry they are beautiful and I wish my work could be a tenth of the quality of work you are putting out She again as I have said is a beautifu ship Keep up the quality

Thanks mark for the encouraging comments Starting to pull a lot of the little things together she's starting to take shape I know she isn't perfect but I am learning since this is my first large ship I've added but not glued the pins and glued down the deck furnishings finish the banisters tidding up things

Hello Heinz I also am asked those questions and told by people that they don't have patience enough it must be an international theme I too do not know what to say about your ship in English or any language as to how wonderful she is looking Best regards

New update guys Started working on the anchors Saw Nigel's wonderful display and techniques Instead of using the brass for the straps I used chalk board tape I decided on it because one its self adhesive the other is because it's a flat black Second part was on the brass ring I used a double strand embroidery thread I split the strands apart and dipped them in half pva glue and water solution stretched them out to dry I wrapped the brass loop with the stiffened thread I wanted to add a nice little detail of rope wrapped around the cross member in a figure eight Also started putting together my little coranades
