KORTES

The next step. Since the threads in batiste are packless and not strong I couldn't manage to put in the threads with their help all at once. So I had to make a transit step - put in the "chief" thread, with the help of which i pulled in the pulled-in  threads.

Test assembling.

The perfoartion was made with the re'sharpened medical needle.

The first version is glued.

While the hull is drying, I decided to coat the deck with tung-oil. What can I say  - the tung-oil is thicker than the oilseed oil. I richly coated the deck, the absorptivity is nice. My expectations that the deck would have lighter color weren’t fulfilled, but the aging effect was quite nice. I coated it in one layer, i think i’ll leave it at that, but it would be seen after polishing.

I oil-coated it, I decided to coat the hull with linseed oil, hoping it would give a darker color than tung-oil on the deck.

My dear colleagues, thank you very much for those kind words and attention to my work. 

Thank you very much Doris.

Your work is also gorgeous and I admire your craftsmanship a lot.

My best regards.

After oil coating. I just finished

Assembled . Vitrifaction will be made after oil coating, just before installing in place.

I have made the frame of the deckhouse lantern light in two variations - pear tree and hornbeam.

Here are some of the deck elements. Aft deckhouse and hatchway.

I installed pin rails.

Thank you very much druxey.

I have finished the nailing of the broadsides. I opted for the brass of 0,6 mm, and tried to make the nail-heads a little dome shaped.

I installed the shroud pads.

My greetings, Johann. I completely agree with You, french ships of thant period are very beautiful.

Control blade.

Dear colleagues Paul and Gary thank you very much.

I had to take my time, the profile is rather difficult to make. After molding the profile I left a small width margin and made the final refinements after gluing it, already in place.
