KORTES

Thank you my dear Friends! I have started to work on the nailing of the hull , the work will take a lot of time and is quite monotonous. 

I tried to cover it with oil. But the oil had highlighted some defects of the wood. I will probably have to replace some elements.

The first option was canceled. Second option.

I have built a cockpit (tambour). I had to redo it several times as usually.

Thank you, my Friend.

I have made protective grilles for the skylights.

For now I just made a fitting before blackening. Or maybe it's better not to blacken ?

I have made the second version of the anchor fairleads. I think this option will be more suitable.

Dear  Mark I was considering the blackening, but in this case I would get black color.

Greetings, dear colleagues. I have made anchor closures. The absence of a lathe makes me look for other manufacturing options. First I made tubes of various sizes. Then I soldered a wire belt. I made one version of brass. I tried it looks  nice, but not authentic, on the ships they were made out of lead.  I'll try another version of iron so it's closer in color.Then I'll choose between  the two.

I made two options for windows rats - cameras on the aft shells. I haven't yet decided what color I will choose for them.

Here are some of the deck elements.

Thank you, my dear friends.

I have sharpened tge pins.

Some developments on bitegs..

I had to spend quite some time working on one of them. I had to remake ninepin-blocks 2 times.

Thank you, dear Allan.

Assembled. 

 Ive made and blackened nails, assembled and sharpened pins. 

Parts.

I have made a spire. Due to the lack of a lathe, a different technology had to be used.
