Nicely done!

Congratulations! Well done!

I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. You have my family’s greatest condolences. The amount of rigging for a cannon is a personal choice. I personally tied the rigging directly to the eyebolts in my last couple of builds (I’m still learning and getting better). I have never tried to make my tackles removable. There is an Anatomy of the Ship published for Granado. I would strongly recommend it for detail information, including positions of davits and ship’s boats, which may not be readily apparent from the plans that come with a kit.

Thank you very much, Richard! Thank you all for the comments and the likes! The bitts are installed and progress has been made: I made part of another rigging fitting that I do not know the name to. It looks like a large cleat. I will post pictures the next time I work on Victory (soon).

Thank you all very much for the comments and the likes! The starboard mouldings are complete and the starboard ladder is in place. The side of the portside ladder is made and the two bitts for the quarterdeck are made and pending final painting/completion.

The first set of mouldings are on:
-
The quarterdeck and poop deck bulwarks are now yellow ochre. The landings are back in place, with the step down. I have the first piece for the inner bulwarks mouldings cut and painted.
-
The forward and waist bulwarks are now black. The poop and quarterdeck bulwarks will soon be yellow ochre (Ceramcoat Antique Gold). The gun carriages should also be ochre, but it is too late to fix that (meaning that I am not willing to rip them out and redo them). It means that they will stand out well, lol. Oh, well. This entire project is a learning experience. Moving on, lol.

Thank you very much! After examining some pictures of the inner bulwarks of the Victory while trying to determine paint schemes for rigging fittings with carvings on the quarterdeck, I realized that I painted the entire inner bulwarks incorrectly, so I am going to adjust them and add the mouldings to the inner bulwarks on the quarterdeck.
