Filling with wood filler and sanding volutes few times. Then wait and sand, and again...
This i believe will be the last layer of wood filler on volutes.
Then, some wood filler used on the hull to fill out holes left after removing the rudder. Not a big deal...
New rudder built from piece of basswood, thicker that needed. An another exercise of sanding to bring it to the desired thickness.
Marked outlines of the old rudder and cut as close as possible to the lines; less sanding is better.
During the sanding process the top of the rudder broke and need a little fix. Another piece of boxwood and voila; all is good. But a bit of extra sanding will be required.
Hinge parts are cut and need a bit of flattening...
Flattened and ready for painting.
Rudder completed and first layer of white paint applied.
That is all for today..

Cherry wood base for plexiglass case. Looks pretty good. Had to stain (natural). Was fun getting the mounting board aligned. But a good result. Now working on the little bits of stepping the masts and bowsprit. What a HUGE difference a simple natural stain makes.

Gun stocks. Not sure if I’ll paint. Used a 1mm x 3mm piece as a template to score my stocks, then drilled the holes and put in the tree nails. Natural stain. Will cut to fit later but numbered them to keep port and starboard straight.
Moving on!!!! 😁

Masts aren’t perfect, but they are passable. Getting the right lean in the caps (?) to match the rake was impossible so I eyeballed it...not lying.
Bowsprit and jib-boom required Some thought. I decided to do something different. Rather than shave down the front of the bowsprit, I decided to connect a suitable end of a toothpick to the end of the bowsprit. Fits perfectly in the cap (? Nautical terms are beyond me right now) and allows me to line it up without any thinking. I can sand front of cap flat later before painting.
The chuck between the boom and sprit required some sanding with round/beveled needle files.
Not bad! It’s progress. Moving on.

Ok. Gun stock bases made. Got top masts and fore and main masts made. Need some sanding. Pics to follow but good progress.
Decided I will prep the guns/mounts and add to the ship LAST! I don’t understand (other than to ogle your own hard work) why you put them on until the last...even after the flags!? I have never rigged a ship before, so the fewer obstructions and hazards the better.
Moving on...but slowly. Recovering from some difficult oral surgery.

Crap. Miscalculated. Need to sand down the bottom ends by 2mm. 😒

OK...will post some pics tonight...back to sanding and doing the mast 'caps'...tried using one of the supplied wooden jobbies and the little thing snapped like a twig. I am doomed to be making everything from scratch!

It looks like your little Sultana is going to hold the place of honor, right where she belongs.

Rudder removed and hull ready for wood filler and sanding...
Then i cut cap rails, which were painted black on the bottom so i don't have to paint those tiny spots.
With this attempt i tried to make a little grove on each side of the cap rails; this should made scrolls easier to mount.
Then i started to mount scrolls, very tiny pieces...
And all is done...
Next step is to fill up all gaps between scrolls and cap rails and to paint all in black..
Well, that is for today...

So, decision have been made, i will re-do the work on rudder, it just does not fir right as it stands today...
Also i have decided to re-do cap rails as well; i had to deviate slightly from practicum as it does not quite clearly provide process of installing scrolls in correct position when it comes to cap rails. I made cap rails narrowed than needed. Was able to locate another Sultana built log and fellow builder showed his method of completing this task (cap rails plus scrolls) with more info and pictures. And here we are. Making tiny scrolls with toothpicks was not a challenge after making 20+. I am sure i will find 6 that are similar in shape and size.
Hull with removed cap rails;new rails will be 5.5 mm wide.
Scrolls made out of sculpey and baked as per direction, ready for installation.
Happy modeling...
