Beautiful ! Very nice work RussR. I have the impression that this is your dinning room. My admiral was opposed when I suggested to display Hermione there. So she is still in my private office displayed. And if the weather is rainy and you stay indoors for a smoke... then you may have a look at her in my study, as it is then becoming the only available smoking indoors place.

Main deck on the go. Belaying pins and tables, ramhead of the fore mast.... and ofcourse always dos and redos! The copper of the galley cooling panel, went dark. It seems the cooper got the humidity of the vallejo scenic water. So a new panel was remade.

The roof of the galley is installed. Its a watertight copper panel, that was filled with water. Thee two copper ducts of the stove were passing through this cooling system, in order to keep the stove radiation as low as it was possible. I hope you can see the water...🦆.. I have poured in.Its a vallego scenery liquid.

@cogThank you. its 32° C in Cyprus. But my shipyard is fully air conditioned. No am not really tired, I was using a mobile crane from CAT to move around the galley😂!
-
The Galley is on the gun deck. Had to take her with a winch on the ship and then push her on rollers in position. Now I have to prepare the roof of the galley with the ducts and the cooling panel.

Like your micro furniture abilities!

Gunwale almost done. The safety rails (incl.in the kit instr.) won't be fitted, am building the 1779 ship. Cannons on upper deck 6lb, on low deck 12lb and the swivel gun 1lb.

So far... very well done Jeff! Christos
-
Cheers sir! Wonderfull! Keep on sailing. Christos
-
Well done! Have you bought a second kit? I thought you was rebuilding the one you had.
-
Hi everybody, If my english is correct, then I have just finished the gunwale and the bulwark. I believe gunwalle is the top part of the bulwark... there where a sailor could lean his hands and look over the sea the sun setting into the horizon.
-
Thank you sir.
-
Thank you guys (Eberhard and druxey). The pin was an iron pin or something else?
-
Which parts of an 18th century block were metal. Is it the sheaves and the pin or also some other parts? I was thinking maybe the eye.
-
Accurate waterways. Well done.

You are very welcome Steven. I myself had started as well this year a study at the Cyprus State University. Once again after more than 35 years since I finished my studies in W.Germany. But this time only just for the fan of knowledge and the pleasure of learnig 😁
