Hi guys, many thanks, I am really happy that you like my build.
I completed rough construction of rear galeries.

Erik W got a reaction from ggrieco in 18th Century Longboat by Erik W - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1:48 - First wooden ship build
I added the oars, windlass handles, rudder, and grapnel (after reshaping, removing material, and cleaning it up). Now it's on to the base.
Here are a couple preview photos. I'll post a bunch more when I get the base finished and the longboat mounted.

I finished the rigging and their associated rope coils. I'm working on the grapnel now, then it's just a matter of adding the oars, windlass handles, and rudder. I had a small brass plaque made at a local trophy/awards shop, so the final display base should look pretty sharp.

Thanks for the kind words guys!
Brian, the quality of the rigging on your Armed Sloop Virginia was what I aimed for on my longboat, so I'm sure when you tackle your longboat, it'll be gorgeous!
Paul, ship-wise I'm leaning heavily towards the Cheerful as a next build. I'm going out of town for part of January, so can't order anything until I'm sure to be home for delivery.

I attached the shrouds and stays. I'm enjoying the rigging, though there is a steep learning curve since I haven't done anything like it before.

I can only hope that my longboat (whenever I get around to it) comes out as nice as yours did Erik.

Erik W reacted to Stuntflyer in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Stuntflyer (Mike) - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
Erik, druxey, thank you for the nice comments and for all the "Likes".
With the waterway completed I was finally able to add a few of the deck structures. These were all done a while back as a diversion, that kept me from getting crazy, when I was re-doing the planking. The photo below shows how I was able to set the structures with the correct spacing and parallel. You can't see it here but there is a lower deck below the skylight. The skylight windows have been antiqued thus reducing reflections, though quite subtle when viewed in person.
