Sweet little stove Nils. If you don't wish to go to the trouble of making the distillation pipe, you could just insert the connecter, a short length of brass tube inserted on top of the stove towards the edge centrally between the boiler lids.

the gundeck is cut away, wide under the forecastle deck as well..., to allow view from above to lower decks
tried to gain standhight for the Crew here as well (as good as possible)
Access to the forecastle deck shall be over the hatch-opening on starboard deck side (per Stair, the deckbeam shall be cut away at that Position. The stair shall fit nicely in between the first two gun tackles
the two masterboards fitted in place
view underneath...
deck openings for gratings, stovechimney
the planking of the deck will be done later on

Thank you so much B.E.

All very inspiring, and I find a very nice Detail (anchor cable rigging) on a 18th century model

Build log part 27
starboard side first metal Support bracket for step platform
second bracket mounted and brought to alignment
platform fit test and weight testing
check out guns placed underneath and ladder inbetween (to be shortend accordingly)
Still Need to do the same experience on port side
Arrangement of chainpump crank handle and bearing supports
view through quarter badge window. Unfortunately the first and the last two links of the Girlande broke off and unfindable got lost somewhere...
I first wanted to decorate the cabins with furniture, but I think I`ll leave it as is (less is more)

build log part 26
the forecastle underdeck will be next
Shows what share is cut away of the poop deck
here view into bottom cargo deck with shot locker, lower well area, storage rooms and staircases, and middle deck with upper well area, pantry and staircase.
Forward decks with Crew quarters, staircases. Righthand the sailroom on the middle deck
aft Portion with officers quarters. Masters cabin starboard behind the middle deck stairs, an rum barrel
the guns under the poopdeck will Need to be rigged before the deck gets mounted
shall use figures with 26 mm height (26 x 64 = 1664 mm ) considering the average actual sailors height with 165 cm that seems OK
The upper bulwark / Stern angle brackets are only preliminary, they shall be replaced later

Nigel,
yes, there are 6 of them included in the etch set.
Have now completed the two bulkheads and the intermediate wall in lengthwise direction (with door) between those bulkheads.
Also some extra belaying Points and the oil-lamp lights and door hinges.
Wish there were more hight in These Areas, but then I would have to Change the Amati plan completely.
It was quite a fiddeling work to get those bulkheads in place, the larger one had to be separated in two parts, and then mounted in place, due to the trapez-like shape.
I would reccomend that These bulkheads are planked equiped with all necessary Fitting out and mounted in place before the hull is planked, it would be much easier.
Nils
also two outer clamps port and starboard to the twin double door bulkhead
the intermediate space between the bulkheads
great cabin Forward bulkhead
the upper Portion of the first bulkhead Need to trimmed off Flush when glue is dry

Fitting out of the aft two bulkheads, that will allow a later look into through the half cut away poopdeck from above
the first mast channel Support brackets are still missing
here the doors for the gundeck aft bulkhead, and the great cabin bulkhead. Because I started the starboard bulwark inner planking in oak, here again oak is used
double doors to the great cabin. The doorpanels are of ply Color framed with Mahagoni
rear side view. Here I`ll leave the Mahagoni Framework for the double doors away, and the brass knobs are only handles
this bulkhead with the two double doors is the aft end of the gun deck, here in raw process...

Thanks Crackers,
again I learn something new,..... I saw that funny looking horizontal turret on stove Pictures before, and not knowing what it was for, I did`nt do it, guess they did`nt have cans of cooled Coke for the Crew on board, and the rum would`nt last for ever.
In this case there would Need to be another collector-barrel for condensated water at best near the stove..

Thanks Terry. I'm afraid that the only thing I could teach is to grow older, have more time for modeling and substitute more patience and perseverance for diminishing physical capabilities.
Sam, it's good to hear from you. It's been a while and I was getting a little concerned about you.
I've now made and installed the chain pumps, their aft cranks and crank supports and the pump dales. The pumps were made using the kit laser cut pieces as forms for boxwood planking. The cranks are blackened brass wire and are simplified due to their small size. The forward cranks and supports will be added as I move forward on the gun deck. I am in the process of making the remaining quarterdeck framing and the main jeer bitts.

Mirabell61 reacted to Elia in Arethusa 1907 by Elia - Knockabout Banks Fishing Schooner
Earlier than my steering wheel endeavor I had fabricated the cat heads and installed the chainplates. All of the deck furniture remains only temporarily placed for context.
Funny thing about the deadeyes - they don't want to stand upright, as in the photos. They lay over, free on their pivot pins...
And last, but not least, thank you to all those who've 'liked' my updates!
Cheers,
Elia

Hallo Nils
Great improvement of that stern!
That stove is coming along nicely. You have a talent to make the essence of things visible with simple means. Your stove started the same way as my own clumsy attempt. Then you add just a few things – a band with rivets here, a few lids there – and suddenly your stove looks real. Great!
Cheers
